MARCH 1, 1916 



Notice to Northern Beekeepers! 



We are making a specialty of the pound-package trade, and will ship from our 

 yards at Fitzpatrick and other points in Alabama packages and queens during 

 April and May at the following prices: 



Pound package with queen, $2.00; without queen, $1.25. Untested queens, sin- 

 gle, $1.00; six, $4.50; dozen, $8.50; in lots of 50 or more, 60 cts. each. Select tested, 

 $2.00. Breeders, $3.50. A special price quoted on packages of 50 or more, and 5 

 per cent discount on all orders by March 15. 



We have improved on the pound package, making it larger and lighter, also 

 giving it more ventilation. The vast experience of out Mr. A. B. Marchant with 

 The A. I. Root Company enables us to know what the trade wants and needs, and 

 we are well equipped to take care of any and all orders, regardless of size. 



Our aim is to carry a surplus so as to be enabled to fill orders by return mail, 

 and on the day they fall due. Our stock of three-band Italians has stood the test 

 for 20 years. There is no better. We have sold The A. 1. Root Company two car- 

 loads of bees and several hundred queens, and will sell them again this season. We 

 guarantee safe arrival free from disease, pure mating, no inbreeding, and your 

 money refunded if not satisfied.

The Rarest and Best Offer Yet 



A daughter of one of Dr. Miller's best honey-getting- queens and the Beekeepers' Review one year for 

 only $2.00. Every one will want a daughter of those famous World Champion Honey-producers. 

 Listen to the record: A yard of 72 colonies produced in one season 17,684 finished sei'tions of 

 comb honey, or an average of 245 sections per colony. This is without a doubt the world's record crop from 

 a yard of that size. Start breeding up a honey strain of bees by using one of those famous daughters this 

 season. This is the first time stock from this noted yard has been on sale. Our breeder, one of the very 

 best in the Gulf States, will breed from one of those best queens ; and as his original stock is of the best 

 three-banded stock, wonderful results are to be expected. Let us book your order at this time for one of 

 those fine queens, for we have for sale only something like 500 for .June "delivery. The queen is well worth 

 all we are asking, $2.00 and the Review for a year. 



1000 Pound Packages of Combless Bees for Sale with Queen 



Did you ever ask a breeder to quote you a price upon a thousand pound packages of combless bees? 

 If you did, you will have noticed that he took his pencil from his pocket, and began to figure what such a 

 sale would save him in advertising, postage, office help, etc., and the results would be that he would make 

 you a very close price. Now we have that very close price on one-pound packags of bees; and, as is usual 

 with us to charge no profit on supplies furnished subscribers of the Review, none will be charged upon 

 those; but our subscribers will get all the advantage of this good buy. Notice that this close price is not for 

 a late fall delivery, but April and May delivery, later deliveries at a less price that will be quoted later, or 

 by mail foi' the asking. Upon this deal we have two big points: First, the price; second, an old experienced 

 breeder who has spent his life breeding bees and queens for the market. We mention this so yo'u will not 

 get it into your heads that this is a " cheap John " lot of goods, but that thev are as good as money can buy 

 uo matter what price you pay. The price is $16.00 for ten pound packages of those combless "bees, each 

 containing a young untested three-banded Italian queen of this season's rearing. Additional pound pack- 

 ages, without queen, one dollar each. 



For larger lots ask for special price, stating how many you can use and when the delivery is to be 

 made. They are shipped from Alabama, in light well-ventilated cages, by express. Just a word to the Arise- 

 Book your orders early ! Address ?
