ITALIAN 



QUEENS. 



That there is a vast difference in the practical, de- 

 sirable qualities of Italian bees, is a fact well known 

 by all who have bred them on a large scale. We have 

 for many years past kept this point in view, and have 

 perfected a strain of bees that excel as honey-gath- 

 erers, at the same time securing the desirable quality 

 of hardiness that enables them to safely pass our 

 coldest winters. We shall continue to rear and sell 

 choice queensfrom this strain of Italian blood, dur- 

 ing the season of 1879, "at the following reasonable 

 prices. We ship no dollar queens until they are fer- 

 tile and begin to lay.
