Black and Hybrid Queens For Sale. 



For the benefit of friends who have black or hybrid queens 

 which they want to dispose of, we will insert notices free of 

 charge, as below. We do this bec»use there is hardly value 

 enough to these queens to pay for buying them up and keep- 

 ing them in stock; and yet it, is oftentimes quite an accommo- 

 dation to those who can not afford higher-priced ones. 



For Sale. —A few black and hybrid queens, 35 and 

 50 cents. Young G. Lee, Charlotte Harbor, Fla.
