fnif Owing to starting two new out-apiaries this 

 spring, and bees working unusually hard and breed- 

 ing up very fast, we are in shape from now until 

 Sept. 15th (after which we pack our bees for winter) 

 to sell lower than we have ever offered, either three- 

 frame nuclei, or full colonies and tested queens. We 

 do not want to break the trade price, so a.sk you to 

 write for private figures that will surprise you.
