 offer tliem so cheap. It is not on account 

 of any inferiority tliat I sell them so 

 cheap, but because I replace, every year, 

 all of my queens in over one hundred 

 colonies, run for honey production, and 

 what I gert. tor the old queens I consider 

 just like Hiiding. A good many are sold 

 already, Imt there is a fine lot on hand 

 yet, equal to any in the country. A few 

 mi.smated ones at 30 cts. each.

For the benefit of friends who have black or hybrid queens 

 which they wish to di.spose of, we will insert notices as below, 

 first inseition free of charge. After the first, 10 cents per line. ' 

 We do this because there is hardly value enough in these 

 queens to pay for buying them up arid keeping them in stock, 

 and yet it i> oftentimes quite an accommodation to those who 

 can iiot afford higher-priced ones. 



AlMut ten mismated Italian queens for sale at 30 

 cents each, or 4 for ^^1.00. They are all nice queens, 

 young and prolific.
