Bees Scooped ! 



-4-- 



1 liavp at last succeeded in buying all the l)ees 

 within 'lYi miles of my home apiary, except five 

 colonies, and these I have Italianized and liave 

 permission to control their dr(>nes. Tliis prac- 

 tically gives me a clear field for breeding pure 

 Italian queens. I have had over twenty year's 

 cxpiTience in breeding and experimenting with 

 Italian queens and bees, and 1 now breed "for 

 lousiness" from my own importations and Doo- 

 lit tie's " Best." Poor stock is costly as a gift. 



One colony of Italians in single story, S-frame, 

 I). 'I', hive, $tj.OU; 5 colonies, $27.50 ; U) ci)lonies, 

 ."lO 00 ; one frame nucleus, .fl,'"0; two frame, 

 1 .75. Select the queen wanted and add price to 

 the above. During March and April, one tested 

 • M'M, '2.00. Select tested (lueen, $3 00. After 

 May 1st, one tested queen, $1 "iO ; :)forSl.()0; (5 

 for $7 50 ; select tested, $2 .'il*. Untested queens 

 as early as the season will permit of their being 

 reared, one for $1 DO; .3for$2.25; C, for $4 00; 12 

 f or 8t) 75. I have over KKt tested queens reared 

 last summer and fall that will be taken from full 

 colonies to fill extra early orders. 



Contracts for hybri<l and l)lack bees in quan- 

 tities solicited, and if desired will furnish them 

 witii tested or untested Italian ipieens on reason- 

 able terms.
