High-grade Italian Bees 



and Queens Cheap 



Queens, Bees in 1-lb. Packages, 



Nuclei, and Full Colonies | 



With our nearly one thousand colonies of ijii 



bees in and near Medina, and the failure of :::| 



the honey crop locally, we are prepared to jiji 



furnish bees in any form and in any quan- jij: 



tity at low prices. This strain came from ijij 



Apalachicola, Florida, and has been tested :| 



out for vigor and honey- producing qualities. jii; 



Low Prices on Application ! | 



Remember, these are not cheap bees, but the best we jj:'* 



have been able to produce in all our experience. The •:•: 



combs are newly drawn from frames of foundation in jj^ 



metal-spaced Hoffman frames. Bees have been care- :^ 



fully inspected, with a guarantee they are free from -i^ 



disease. See Special Notices elsewhere for particulars. % 



Queens by Return Mail | 



We shall be able to supply this year about 10,000 ^ 



queens from our own queen-breeding yards. We shall ^ 



fiave, as heretofore, our own Apalachicola and bass- '^ 



wood strains of bees, and also our leather-colored |^ 



Uhrichsville stock. Remember that these queens are g 



reared with our own equipment, with our own bees, by j^ 



our own men, from the best breeders that we have. -I^ 



The cells are built in two and three story colonies. j:;: 



When we have a surplus we will sell them at verv low >f 



prices in lots of 25. 50, and 100. ;:•: 



OUR GUARANTEE | 



We sold last year something like 15,000 queens. J;|; 



There is reason for this, because our customers have '^>.
