Rare Chance 



to get Italian Bees, 



3, 4, and 5 Band. 



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. l.ith (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 ask you to 

 write for private figures that will surpiise you.

QUEEN5 BY RETURN MAIL. 



Daughters of best imported Italian queen mother, 

 warranted purely mated to drones of imported stock 

 from a different source; hence, a direct cross. Twelve 

 years as a honey-producer on a large scale has taught 

 me what good queens mean to the producer as well as 

 how to rear them. Price of queens, .50 cts. each. Safe 

 delivery and satisfaction, or money refunded. 



L. H. ROBEV, Worthington. W. Va. 



I HAVE NOW ON HAND 



a number of breeders producing faultless 

 5-banded bees. If you have never had a 

 queen of this Laws strain of beautiful 

 honey-gathering bees you should order at 

 once. Price 82.50 each. Warranted queens 

 ready by return mail at usual prices.
