GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



July 1. 



Tested Queens by Return Mail at $1.00. 



I 



atfl 



am devoting my apiary largely to the rearing of queens, making a specialty of tested Italian queens 

 , 00 each or six for $5.U0. These queens are of this year's rearing, and have been kept just long enough 

 to know that they are good layers and purely mated. For several weeks I liuve been filling orders by re- 

 turn mail, and I am keeping a hirge number of queens In nuclei for the express purpose of enabling me* 

 to fill orders promptly. More than six queens (tested) will be sold at 75 cts. each, but such orders must be 

 sent with the understanding thai, while they will be filled as promptly as possible, it moy not be return 

 mail, which will be the case with six or a less number of queens. The Kei'iew and one queen tor $1.60.
