WHY SEND 



WAY 

 Down South 

 For Queens'? 



My bee-keeping friends. Northern 



Italian queens wintered outdoors are 



more hardy, energetic, and prolific in 



their se;ison of bee-re:iring. Read and 



think before ordering. Send for price 



list, and order early. Strawberry- 



plaiits of the latest variety cheap.
