The Bee-News. 

 Tlio editor is nio-st too busy in tlie queen jard to 

 irive our readers tlie cuneut Ijce nevvsoltlie day. 

 IJrotlier Pratt has attended to tliat part very well. 



The Carniolan Bees. 

 We sliall have no more Carniolan bees for sale 

 tliis season. Send youi- oitiers to Brotiier I'ratt, 

 iViailboro, Mass. if you don't care to do that, 

 order wliere you please. 



Every reader of the Apicultuki.st should order 

 and introduce a young queen i-eared from our 

 hundred-dollar ijueen. This is the finest strain 

 of Italian bees we have evei' had in our apiary; 

 We wish lo remind tliose who send lor sample 

 copies of the Ai'iCULTUKiS'i' that tliey can get our 

 paper one year, and a selected daughter of tlie 

 above queen, for $1..50. Now is a good time to 

 subsci'ioe. We can mail the queen in a few d.iys 

 after the order reaches us. 



Bees and Honey. 

 "Bees and Honey'' by Thos. G. Newman, is on 

 our desk. All we can say of it is that it should 

 be read by every beekeeper in the land. We 

 never saw any of the former editions of the work, 

 consequently can not say in what respect the last 

 edition is better than the previous ones. 



Supersede old queens. 

 When a queen is two years old she has seen 

 lier best days and should be superseded. If you 

 are a subscribe)' to our paper send seventy-five 

 e.ents and get one of those daughters rearerl from 

 our $100 queen. If you are not a subscriber, 

 send $1.50 and get a queen and the API one 

 year. 



The Drone-and-Queen Trap. 



If you never have seen one of our drone-and- 

 queen traps we will mail one to your address on 

 leceipt of tilty cents. If satisfied with it and 

 think you desire an individual or township right, 

 the fifty cents may be deiUnited from the prices 

 for rights given on anoi.her page. 



We have a splendid picture ol our queen-reai- 

 ing apiary which will be given in a later issue of 

 the An; probably in the August number. 



Three Hundred Queens. 



July 1, we shall have three hundred beautiful 

 Italian (jueens all reared from our famous $100 

 queen. We exi)ect to be able to fill all orders 

 by return mail. When ordering queens you will 

 confer a favor by stating ttie date you desire to 

 use the queens. If the weather will pei-mit the 

 queens shall reach you at tlie time you st.ite. 



Imported Italian Queens. 

 Oil June 16, we received by intiil, 

 two (hie queens from the ai)iary of 

 Charles Biancoucini, Bolognu, Italy. 

 There were no dead bees in one bo.K 

 and only two in the other. This we 

 call a success. Last year we received 

 three dead queens by express from an- 

 other party in Italy. Express cliarges 

 were ten dollars. We could not get 

 the shipper — Chini Josephine, Bo- 

 logna, to make good his bad shipment. 

 No one will order queens of such ii 

 dealer. 



Queens in exchange for Honey. 



We will exchange some of our fin- 

 est queens for either extracted or comb 

 honey. Anyone desiring to exchange 

 will please address Henky Alley, 

 We)iha7n, Mass. 



How to remit. 

 All remittances to us should be 

 made payable to the order of The 

 Americak Apiculturist. Please bear 

 this in mind.
