THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



I manufacture both the one and the four-piece sections, 

 and can give customers their choice at the same price. The 

 one-piece is made of nice, white basswood, and sand- 

 papered on both sides. The four-piece is made of hard, 

 white poplar. The sections are 4'4 x4'4 xl%, 134 or 7-to- 

 the-foot, and 4x5 plain. 



My prices are as follows: 1,000, $3.00; 2,000 for $5.75; 

 5,000 for $14.00; 10,000 for $27.00. A special price will be 

 made to those who order 10,000 to 30,000 in the winter. 



I also furnish BEE, QUEENS, and BEE-KEKPERS' 

 SUPPLIES. Send for descriptive circular, and sample of 

 section, and save money.

^' !-, \. DESCRIPTION OF THE ALBINO BEES» 



As to their marking, the difference between them and the pure Italian is 

 very striking. About the eyes they approach nearer a purple than that of 

 the Italian Beginning at the waist, they first have three distinct yellow bands, then three distinct 

 white — the white is pnre. not muddy and dirty; the wings are finer and of a bright silver color. 

 What makes them so be 'utiful is, that the colors are bright — the white is white, and the black is 

 black, etc. Their shoulders ami the under part are thickly coated with white hair. 



The queens are large and beautiful. They are a bright yellow and generally have the while 

 hair, as described in the workers. As to their breeding, we can say the queens are very prolific.
