You Should Earn $25 Per Colony from Bees this Season 



THIS can be accomplished if you have a young prolilic queen and a strong colony when the honey flow arrives. Many beekeepers fail 

 to secure the greatest possibilities from their bees because their colonies are not strengtliened and built up early in the season, 

 making it possible for them to take advantage of the honey How when it arrives. This should be a good season for clover honey, as 

 weather conditions last year throughout the country were the best we have had for many yeas for securing a good strong stand of clover 

 We now have a large queen-rearing outfit in Florida for the express purpose of supplying you with EARLY QUEENS ANE) BEES IN 

 PACKAGES. We are breeding from queens that gave a surplus of ?oo iDounds per colony in a 2a day honey How. You should have this 

 strain of bees in your yard, and insure the placing of each of your colonies on a paying basis. We have a large supply of queens at this 

 time, but as orders are coming in rapidly, we recommend that you provide for your requirements early.
