X What Others Say About Our Bees y

S> "The ten 1-pound swarms bought of you last spring, although delayed in transit, and therefore tak- X 



♦j* ing five days to reach me, arrived in fine condition, not a cupful of dead bees in the lot. They did well, A 



X more than paying for themselves the fii'st season, and went into winter quarters in fine condition. I have *j* 



y tried queens from several different places and like yours best of all." X

t y 



X "We are only one mile from Lake Erie, and exposed to high, cold winds; in fact, this is the windiest y 



•!• place along the Great Lakes. Your bees were able to winter with only an insignificant loss. As for honey, X 



[j^ they averaged 175 pounds each of extracted surplus, did not swarm, and gave an artificial increase of 39 ^ 



.|. per cent, which is as fine a record as can be had in this locality, especially when the work is done entirely X 



by amateurs." (Name on request), North East, Pa. .|.
