QUEEN CRANK 



Occasionally has some second-class queens as to 

 color of offspring that are first-class in eveiy 

 other tespect. That is, three-band bees predom- 

 inating from golden mothers, and rather than 

 palm them off as untested, he sells them at sects 

 each Wh n five-band bees predominate and do 

 not exceed 80 per cent, they are worth $1.00. 

 From this up to 95 per cent, fi.2s. A higher 

 grade biU not uniformly marked, 51.50, and 

 breeders 52.00 each. Untested, either three or 

 five-band, 75 cts each, or three for 52.00.

Exhibition Hives. 



I shall probably make no more exhibitions of 

 bees and honey at fairs I have too many other 

 irons in 1 he fire. I have about a dozen nucleus 

 exhibition hives that I would sell for 50 cents 

 each. They are nicely made, with glass in one 

 side and wire cloth on the other. Six of them 

 are painted a bright vermillion and the others a 

 bright blue. They are of the right size for tak- 

 ing one Langstroth frame. They cost Ji.oo each 

 to make them. 



I also have about 100 of the old-style Heddon 

 super, of the right size to use on an 8-frame, 

 dovetailed hive. This is the best super there is 

 if no seperators are used. They cost 20 cents 

 each to make them when lumber was cheap. 

 They are well painted and just as good as new, 

 but I would sell them at 15 cents each.
