SMMMMMMM 



Just as we jj;o to press, we are all set rejoic- 

 ing by the receipt of a flue large Queen, in one 

 of our new mailing cages, all the way from J. 

 B. Ramsay, Louisiana, (see page 71). 



She was on the way Ave days, yet seems live- 

 ly and in perfect health, and came all this dis- 

 tance for a tipo cent stamp. Soft sugar was 

 packed in one of the feed boxes, and a sponge 

 with water in the other. Will not all our sub- 

 scribers join in three cheers for the success of 

 the plan of shipping Queens from the South ? 



Bees are -working on fruit blossoms, for dear life, at 

 present, and arCjrapMly filling up their hives. My 

 first natural swarm, this season, came off last Friday, 

 Ma v 22nd . .1 A 11 KS BoLlN .

Just like you friend B.
