How any one can get along without the drone- 

 trap is a mystery to me. We have six in constant 

 use and the neighbors would like to borrow if we 

 could lei.d tliein.

Finest bees he ever saw. 



Sedalia, Mo., Mar. 10, 1890. 

 Mr. Alley. I got two Italian queens from you 

 last fall, an<l I put one with an ol<l colony of bees 

 that liad been queenless over ten days and the 

 bees killed her; the other 1 put with a young col- 

 ony and she is doing finely. The queen did not 

 look quite so yellow as some Italians, but I must 

 say that the young bees from her are tlie finest 

 and largest Italians 1 ever saw, and for working 

 qualities and gentleness, they cannot be excelled. 

 Yours truly.

They take the cake. 



Mr. Alley: 1 bought tliree (jueens of you in 

 1888. They were not well marked, but for workers 

 they " took the ciike." Neither of these queens 

 cast swarms. They stored in pound sections, 

 eighty-one, eighty-two anil ninety-two pounds 

 of honey respectively, from white clover. 



Our bees are breeding rapidly; they carried in 

 pollen all through December. 



A. H. Noble. 



Best colony of bees yet. 



Gaylordsvllle, Conn 



Mr. Alley: I have eighteen colonies of bees. 

 The best one is from the queen you sent me in 

 July, 1888. I took from this colony ninety pounds 

 of honey and got two good swarms. All good 

 and solid for winter.
