and bees, and nothing but Italians. An improved superior strain is what 

 QUmiN-THE-QUEEN-BREEDER raises. Our stock is northern-bred and hardy. We just 

 visited our outyards (all wintered on summer stands), and not a colony is dead to date 

 (March 18). Some hives have lost scarcely a bee, so it appears. BROTHER BEE-KEEPER, 

 how do you like such stock for hardiness ? A party up in Maine got 50 nuclei of us several 

 years ago. We just received a letter from him. He is after more of our bees, because last 

 season he got 2200 pounds of honey which sold for 23 cts. per pound. Our stock is well known 

 throughout the United States. Some of the largest yields reported can be traced to our 

 stock. Over 20 years a breeder. Free circular and testimonials. Price of stock as below.
