GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



BEES FOR SALE 



I have 100 colooies of bees here at Flint, and there are reasons 

 why I prefer to beein the season with a smaller number. 



At some of our Northern Michigan Apiaries the fire last fall 

 totally destroyed the pasturage. 



For these reasons I wish to sell some bees. They are mostly 

 in ten-frame Langstroth hives, although a few are in eight-frame 

 hives. The hives are all new, made of soft white pine, and 

 painted with two coats of white paint. Nearly all of the combs 

 are built from wired foundation. The bees are all pure Italians, 

 and mostly of the Superior stock, or Moore strain. Every thing 

 is strictly first class — could not be better. 



Prices for ten-frame colonies ate as follows: Less than five 

 colonies, $7.00 per colony; five colonies or more, but less than 

 ten, $0.50 per colony; ten 6r more colonies, $6.00 each. 



Eight-frame colonies: Less than five, $6.00 each; five colonies 

 or more, but less than ten, $5.50 each; ten or more colonies, 

 $5.00 each. This is the first time I have made any lower prices 

 on large orders. 



Tne bees will be shipped by express in May, about fruit- 

 blooming time, and safe arrival in perfect condition guaranteed.
