tS~ As some inquiries have been made by 

 the readers of the Bee JonRNAi as to the 

 result ot the fire on May 4, which consumed 

 the major part of three upper floors of my 

 store, burning- some extracted honey, but 

 not injuring tlie lower or sales floor on which 

 stood the comb honey, I can say that my loss 

 was protected by insurance, and that I am 

 doing business at the old stand and having 

 the damage done to the upper floors repaired.

TO MY FRIENDS AND FORMER CUSTOMERS 



I HAVE made arrangements with SIIjAS M. 

 LOCKE & CO.. of Wenham, Mass., to rear 

 Uueens at the Apiculturist Experimental Bee- 

 Farm, and to act as Superintendent of the same. 

 By so doing, my former patrons will have their 

 orders for Queens tilled promptly, and as I have 

 sold them, among other stock, 25 colonies of the 

 finest orange-yellow bees that can be found in the 

 world, you can depend on getting the BEST Queens 

 that can be produced. 1 cheerfully recommend 

 these parties as honorable and fair-deaiing men, 

 and all will be dealt with in a straight-forward 

 honest maner.
