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 pure, not muddy and dirty; the wings are finer and of a bright silver color. 

 What makes them so besuliful is, that the colors are bright — the white is white, and the black is 

 black, etc. Theirshoulders and the under part are thickly coated with white hair. 



Tlie queens are large and beautiful. They are a bright yellow and generally have the white 

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