Edward Payson, Traverse City, Mich. 



For Sale. — Apiary of 105 colonies of bees, 

 with or without location ; % of an acre of 

 ground in the edge of village, and planted to all 

 kinds of fruit; about 40 trees are now bearing. 

 Beeyard is enclosed with six-foot tight fence, which 

 is lined inside with grapevines, currants, goose- 

 berries, and blackberries. Frame shop and 

 honey-house 1 Vz story ; 65-barrel cistern ; corn- 

 crib; chicken and hog yards; every thing one 

 needs but dwelling house. This would be a fine 

 location for a queen-breeder — not over a dozen 

 colonies of bees within 1 V2 miles of the yard. 

 No disease, and have never had any. The bees 

 are all in good shape ; hives as good as new ; combs 

 built on Hoffman frames; wired foundation, except 

 possibly 100 frames. I spent $500 in fitting up 

 my yard, not counting my labor. Land sells here 

 from $200 to $400 per acre. I am nine miles 

 below Zanesville, on the Muskingum River, over- 

 flowing creek and river bottoms west, south, and 

 east of me. The location is No. 1 ; I have had but 

 one failure in 21 years that I have kept bees; good 

 market for honey near. My crop is sold, and 

 not all off yet, at $3.75 per case. Any one buy- 

 ing the property will get good hive-stands, what 

 winter cases I have, shade-boards, cushions, etc. 

 I will take $1000 for ground and bees, and a low 

 price for extras, or will sell the bees, to be moved 

 for $500. J. F. Tbuesdell, Duncan's Falls O
