Bee Ready! 



Are You ? 



Last spring hundreds of colonies perished 

 through sheer neglect right on the eve of a 

 honey-flow. So far bees have wintered well. 

 From now on is the crucial time. Don't let 

 your bees starve. Never has clover looked 

 more promising. This year "Bees iz bees," 

 and if you lose them now or delay ordering 

 your supplies, you will regret it. Write now 

 for the PEIRCB illustrated catalog of bee- 

 requisites.
