Banats. — This new race of bees from Hunsrary, Aus- 

 tria, looks like the Carniolan, thoutrh darker in color; 

 are trentle, hardy, trreat honey-tratherers, and builders 

 of white comb; do not breed out of season and use up 

 their honey when none is to be had; are not inclined 

 to swarm, even with their hives boilinir over with 

 bees, but keep ritrht at work while other races are 

 swarniintr. We consider this race of bees a model 

 one for producing fani^y comb honey.

Watch ^°"' Bees 



While in some sections the yield of 

 nectar has been light and not of best 

 quality, weather conditions, especially 

 in the North-Central States, have been 

 very favorable for a moderate honey- 

 flow continuing throughout the summer 

 and terminating in a good fall yield. 



Be ready for it. Secure this honey 

 in sections or frames and convert it into 

 cash, rather than allow the bees to 

 crowd the brood-nest and hamper the 

 queen for laying-room. 



I have sections, foundation, frames, 

 and every thing else for bees, and can 

 make immediate shipment.
