 X ers, therefore rearing a great number of queens for our own use, we have a strain of pure Italian bees which ♦»• 

 •!• we believe are unexcelled for honey production, disease-resisting qualities and gentleness. Owning about A 

 'l* 1,500 colonies of bees which we run for honey, gives us ample opportunity to test them out in every way. y 

 •!• As our apiary interests extend as far north as Northern Ontario, we have a chance to test them from a % 



V climatic standpoint, in person. We therefore iind that our bees will stand the long winters with very sat- »^> 

 X isfactory results. You will find them very hardy and long-lived. 't*
