Having- determined to devote my time and attention exclusively to the jn-oductfon of i)tire Italian bees 

 and queens, during- the season of 1886. 1 otfer. in order to reduce stock, 50 €liOM-e Colonies ol' Pure 

 Italians in 10 Langstrotli frames, jruaranteed to contain at least i fi;ll frames of brood and 4 lbs. of bees 

 in new chaff hive, at f 10.00 each. I apjiend my prices for the season. 



My terms are cash with the order. First orders; will be filled first. I will refund money at any time a 

 customer ma.v become dissatisfied with waiting-. 



My methods: One kind, and the best of that kind. Nothing: except tested queens sold at any price. I 

 will send one-year-old queens until stock is exhausted, and then this season's hatch. I will commence to 

 send, about May 1st.

In lots of 5, five per cent discount; in lots of 10, ten per cent discount. In lots of 10 or more nuclei or 

 pounds of bees, I will pay express charges for the first 1000 miles. Now remember, I guarantee safe ar- 

 rival and absolute satisfaction in all cases. Sample of live workers free by mail. Capacity, 25 queens 

 per day after May 1st. 



I append a few from hundreds of recommendations from last season's customers.
