My bees have wintered perfectly— clean, dry, and 

 free from dysentery— and I have decided to seli a few 

 colonies. The bees are of the Superior stock, the 

 hives nearly new, in good condition, and well painted. 

 The combs are all-worker— mostly built on wired 

 foundation. Everything is strictly flrst class. 



For a colony in an eight-frame Langstroth hive the 

 price is $6.00; in a ten-frame Langstroth, or in a new 

 Heddon hive (two sections) the price is $7,00; and to 

 each purchaser of one or more colonies the Review 

 will be sent free for 1908. 



I am now ready to accept and book orders accompa- 

 nied by the cash; and when I have received as many 



orders as I care to fill, no more will be accepted. The 

 bees will be shipped by express, about the close of 

 fruit-bloom, when the newly gathered honey wiJl fur- 

 nish the necessary water, and safe arrival will be 

 guaranteed in every respect. 



If you wish to stock your apiary with a strain of 

 bees that has no superior, here is a chance to get a 

 breeding-queen, such as the most of dealers atk from 

 $3.00 to $.5 00 for, already introduced, in a full colony, 

 whereby she can be shipped without injury, early in 

 the season, all at a moderate price.

will be a profitable 

 industry this season. 



Honey is high— short crop last year. The shortage of the honey crop for 1907 in the United States 

 warrants bee-keepers to increase their colonies. About a half crop was produced, and in California where 

 the cheap honey comes from, only a quarter of the average crop was produced.
