IMPORTED BEES 



For the past seven years we have Importe<i bees 

 from Italy and have failed nearly every time, by lack 

 of knowledge of the true conditions necessary for so 

 long a jonrney, and on account of the carelessness of 

 the shippers. But we are now succeeding so well 

 that we receive ninety per cent of the Queens alive. 

 We claim to be 

 The only regvilav Importers of 



ITALIAN BEES IN THIS COUNTRY. 

 We received over One Hundred Queens in the sea- 

 son of 1874. Our Queens come from th^ best districts 

 of Italy. Thev are all young. 



We winter 60 Imported Queens in our Apiary, and' 



will sell them in fall colonies in the spring, safe 



arrival guaranteed.
