GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



BEES FOR SAI-E! 



I have 100 colonies of bees here at Flint, and 

 there are reasons why I prefer to begin the season 

 with a smaller number. 



They are mostly in ten-frame Langstroth hives, 

 although a few are in eight-frame hives. The hives 

 are all new, made of soft white pine, and painted 

 with two coats of white paint. Nearly all of the 

 combs are built from wired foundation. The bees 

 are all pure Italians, and mostly of the Superior 

 Stock, or Moore strain. Every thing is strictly 

 first class — could not be better. 



Prices for ten-frame colonies are as follows: 

 Less than five colonies, S7.00 per colony; five colo- 



nies or more, but less than ten, S6.50 per colony: 

 ten or more colonies, S6.00 each. 



Eight-frame colonies, less than five, 86.00 each; 

 five colonies or more, but less than ten, 85.50 each; 

 ten or more colonies, 85.00 each. 



The bees will be shipped by express in May, 

 about fruit-blooming time, and safe arrival in per- 

 fect condition guaranteed. 



Each purchaser will receive the Bee-keepers' 

 Review free for one year.

 Gentlemen: 



You will find enclosed 

 887.70 for bill of goods, as per 

 order-sheet. Perhaps you will 

 be interested in knowing that 

 again this past fall we secured 

 considerably more honey in 

 Protection Hives than in sin- 

 gle-wall hives in the same 

 yard. The weather was cool, 

 and the supers reeded protec- 

 tion. 



Respectfully yours, 



Albert Oetman.
