IMPORTED BEES. 



For the past seven years we have Imported bees 

 from Italj' and have failed nearly every time, by lacfe 

 of knowledge of the true conditions necessary for so 

 long a journey, and on accoimt of the carelessness ofi" 

 the shippers. But we are now succeeding so welS 

 that we receive ninety per cent of the Queens alive. 



We claim to be 



The only reg^iilar Iinportei-s of- 



ITALIAN BEES IN THIS COUNTRY. 

 We received over 07ie Hundred Queens in the sea- 

 son of 1874. Our Queens come from the best districts 

 of Italy. They are all young. 



We winter 60 Imported Queens in our Apiarj', and! 



will sell them in full colonies in the spring, safe 



arrival guaranteed. 



Price : Colony of Italians with Imported Queen $20.00 



" " home bred " 15.00 



Our hives are good, well paintetl movable frame 



hives. For particulars adiiress
