NOTES FROM THE B(\IGHT-BAND APIARY. 



FrRlENDS:— The last time I appeared under the 

 above head was more than a year ago, at 

 1= which time, as some will remember, I laid 

 much stress upon the superiority of my queens. 

 Well, now for the result: Quite a number of queens 

 were sold, and the next season (which was last sum- 

 mer) still a greater number were sold; in fact, I had 

 orders for more than 1 could raise; consequently I 

 have removed from my old place (Greenville, Tenn.), 

 to this place, that 1 might raise earlier queens, and 

 have facilities for raising a greater number of 

 queens. I can now command 500 colonies in the 

 quten business, if necessary. My intention is to 

 produce queens not excelled by any. Price, untest- 

 ed, but laying, in April, $1,40 each; in May. $1.23 

 each; 90 cents each the rest of the summer. Tested 

 oneens. in May, $2.00; the rest of summer, $1,75. 

 The above are Irom importtd Italian queens; 

 queens bred from Kingsley's improved bees, same 

 price. Kingsley's improved bee is simply a cross be- 

 tween the Cyprian, Itali«n. and Holy-Land bees; and 

 in reality they are ahead of any race, both for color 

 and honey-gathering propensities. Sample live 

 workers sent for 3c to pa.v postage. 



All orders promptly attended to; safe arrival 

 guaranteed; full directions sent with each queen.
