1877. ITALIAN QUEENS. 1877. 



I warrant every Queen to be as pure, hand- 

 some and prolific, to produce as beautiful and 

 peaceable bees, and to be as good in every re- 

 spect as tested queens sent out by any dealer 

 in the country. 



Mr. L. C. Root, of the late firm of Quinby & 

 Root, stated at the bee-keepers' meeting at 

 the Centennial, that "He had purchased 60 

 Queens of us, and all of them were very su- 

 perior queens." M. G. Bundy, a prominent 

 bee-keeper in N. Y. State, wrote us March 6th. 

 as follows: "Your queens are the handsomest, 

 and produce tlie most beautiful and peaceable 

 workers of any I ever saw." 



The present year makes the I5th that we 

 have raised and sold Italian Bees. Queens, $1 

 each. Nucleus Hives, containing 4 frames 

 and one of our best queen* and a few drones,

 smokers and a queen cage sent with each hive.
