Italian Bees and Queens 



WE will now book orders for our superior Italian bees and queens 

 for spring delivery. There is absolutely no foul brood here and 

 never has been; the closest we know of is over two hundred miles 

 distant. You absolutely can "t get it from buying bees from us. We do 

 not know of anyone having perfect success shipping bees in packages, so 

 are offering you as many bees as you wish to the package, shipped on 

 a comb of brood which we guarantee to hatch out over a pound of bees. 

 We guarantee safe arrival and satisfaction in every respect. This man- 

 ner of shipping will eliminate loss in transit, as you know that your bees 

 will arrive in the best of condition, that you will have no trouble in getting 

 them from the packages to the hives, and that you can leave them know- 

 ing they will not swarm out. If the weather is bad on arrival, you won 't 

 have to nurse them as you will packages. You can safely figure on having 

 as many colonies as you order packages. They will be gaining in numbers 

 from the time they are packed until after your honey flow. If you want 

 something sure, try them and be certain of your honey crop. If there 

 was any chance of giving you foul brood we wouldn 't offer them to you. 

 The comb will be worth at least 45c to you. We guarantee our bees to be 

 as good as can be had. We are not going to book more business than we 

 can deliver promptly.
