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 Irom Kingsley's improved bees, same 

 price. 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 for 

 color and honey-gathering propensities. Sample 

 live workers sent for 3 cents to pay postage. 



All orders promptly attended to ; safe arrival 

 guaranteed; full directions sent with each queen. 

 Make money orders payable at Shrevepoi-t.
