Copy of my new book on Queen-rearing. Edito- 

 rial, page 589, in Gleanings says: " It happens to be 

 the Alley queen whose queen-daughters are beautiful 

 as well as her bees. They are hardy, prolific, and 

 hold their own with any colony for honey." Queens, 

 Sl.tX) each. Large and yellow queens and bees.

Daughters of best imported Italian queen mother, 

 warranted purely mated to drones of imported stock

Rare Chance 



to get Italian Bees, 



3, 4, and 5 Band.. 



Owing to starting two new out-apiaries this 

 spring, and bees working unu.suall}' hard and breed- 

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

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

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

 frame nuclei, or full colonies. Have never had any 

 disease of any kind. We do not want to break the 

 trade price, so ask you to write for private figures 

 that will surprise you.
