Bees for Sale. 



As mentioned in the last Review, my bees 

 have wintered well. They are now on their sum- 

 mer stands, most of them being packed in saw- 

 dust. Tliey will be fed if necessary, and every 

 attention given necessary to keep them in the 

 best possible condition. I have more bees than I can manage in connection with the Review, and I 

 sliould be glad to sell part of tlicra. They are in the New Heddon hive, but purchasers not having the 

 right to use this hive will be furnished free with a permit from Mr. Heddon. I will sell one colony for 

 $6.00; 5 for $28.50; 10 or more at $5..50 each. With each ncolony will be sent a bottom-board, cover, and one 

 section case. The bees are all pure Italians, and the queens of last years rearing. Shipments will be 

 made immediately at the close of fruit bloom when tlie weatlier will be neither too cold nor too hot, and 

 there will be a supply of freshly gjiihered honey from whicli the bees can supply themselves with water 

 while on their journey ^ J^ HUTCHINSON, FHllt, flichigan.

Notice 



What JENNIE ATCHLEY Says 



about my new JJroiie-Traij and queen-cages: 



April 32, 1893. 

 A. A. Weaver, WaiTenshurg, Mo. 



Dear Sir;— Your drone-trap at hand, and we had 

 an excellent opportunity to test it to-day. The 

 drones were flying by the hundreds. We attached 

 the trap to a hive, and in a few minutes had the 

 satisfaction of seeing it chuck full of drones. Yes, 

 it caught the very last drone that attempted to 

 leave the hive. Now, that drone-catcher of yours is 

 tlie best thing of the kind I ever saw, and ought to 

 be in the liands of every bee-keeper. Your queen- 

 cages prove to be the best I have ever used, and for 

 workmanship can not be excelled. 



V^ery truly yours, Jennie Atchley. 



Sample drone-trap, l)y mail, 60c; sample queen- 

 cage, .'ic. Send for prices on quantities; also price 

 list of bee-lieepers' supplies and Italian queens.
