We have just invented a new style cage for shipping bees, for which patent has been applied. This case allows the queen to lay 

 while on the trip, which gives the purchaser from three to seven days advantage of the old style cage. It is almost equal to a colony of 

 bees. With every order for 100 pounds of bees we will give one of these packages with a tested queen free. We only tiave one dozen of 

 these cages, and will not put them on the market till 1018, as our stock of cages was made up before we evolved the new cage. 



Our Mr. A. B. Marchant has retired from the production of honey and will manage our yards for the package and queen trade. 

 Therefore, we will be in a better position to fill all orders with dispatch. Having doubled our capacity we believe we can fill all orders, 

 the day they are due We have introduced new blood in all our yards, and we have a strain of bees second to none. Our packages are 

 shipped the same day they are caged. Our bees for our packages are all reared above an excluder; therefore, we ship nothing but young 

 bees, as young bees stand the trip better than older ones. We guarantee freedom from all diseases and safe arrival in the United States 

 and Canada. Place your orders early, as first comes first served Write for prices on large orders

Gen//emen: — Will want more of your three-pound packages of bees with queens the coming spring. The two I bought of you 

 last May did all right. One package made 185 sections of honey and gave one swarm, and the other made 206 sections and gave two 

 swarms. I am well pleased. MELVIN WYSONG. KIMMELL. IND.
