 Sound, di-y stove-wood is the best fuel for Bingham smokers. Below is a copy of a letter from the larg-est

\ GcnUcmfu: — I use the Bingham & Hethering-ton honey-knife and the Bingham smoker in my business 

 because they are more elfective for the purpose than I have yet found in the market.

Gray Carniolans and Five=Banded Golden Italians. 



We are the most extensive breeders in America, of those wonderful g-ray Carniolans— the hardiest, the 

 best of honey-gatherers, and the gentlest bees in the world. Cimsidering all points, we have never found 

 a race of bees (and -we have tried tliem all) that could compare with them. A complete description of this 

 ■wonderful race of bees -will be sent to all who -write and ask for it. Be(>-keepiiig- friends, give the gray 

 Carniolans a fair trial, and you ,vill be convinced that what we say of them is tiue. 



Our five-banded golden Italians are guaranteed to be the equal of any in this country, as regards g-entle- 

 ness. hardiness, and working:-qualities, as -we follow the best known metlujds for producing tlrst-elass 

 business queens. Our queen-icaring apiaries are four miles apart, with Lake George between the two 

 races. Prices of queens of either race are as follows: One untested queen. May, $1.25; .Tune, 3^1.00; July, 

 75c; Aug- , 65c. One tested queen, May, 3*2.5(_i; June, $2.00; July, $1..50; Aug., $1.25. Prices on large orders, 

 imported and best breeding- queens, sent on application.

 working with fingers among the bees, or 

 having them daubed with propolis.
