GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



BEES FOR SALE! 



I have 100 colonies of bees here at Fl int.and 

 there are reasons why I prefer to begin the season 

 with a smaller number. 



They are in ten-frame Langstroth 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 frona wired foundation. The 

 bees are all pure Italians, and mostly of the Supe- 

 rior stock, or Moore strain. Every thing is strictly 

 first class— could not be better. 



Prices are as follows: Less than five colonies, 

 §7.00 per colony: five colonies or more, but less 

 than ten, .S6.50 per colony; ten or more colonies, 

 86.00 per colony. 



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.
