NOTES FROM THE BRIGHT-BAND APIARY. 



I CAN now command .500 colonies in the queen 

 business, if necessary. My intention is to pro- 

 duce queens not excelled by any. Price, untest- 

 ed, but laying, in May, »1.00 each; 90 cents each 

 the rest of the summer. Tested queens, any time, 

 *1..50. The above are from imported Italian queens ; 

 queens bred from Kingsley's improved bees. Same 

 pi-ice. Kingsley's improved bee is simply a crosS 

 between the Cyprian, Italian, and Holy-Land bees; 

 and in reality they are ahead of any race, both fol* 

 color and honey-gathering propensities. Sample 

 live workers sent for 3 cents to pay postage. 



All orders pi-omptly attended to ; safe arrival 

 guafanteed; full directions sent with each queen. 



Make money orders payable at Shreveport.
