j You Should Earn $25 a Colony from Your Bees This Season | 



i This can be accomplished if you have a young prolific queen and a strong colony when the | 



I honey-flow arrives. Many beekeepers fail to secure the greatest possibilities from their bees because p 



i their colonies are not strengthened and built up early in the season, making it possible for them to = 



i take advantage of the honey-flow when it arrives. This should be a good season for clover honey, as s 



1 weather conditions last year throughout the country were the best for securing a good strong stand g 



= of clover we have had for many years. . = 



= "We now have a large queen-rearing outfit in Florida for the express purpose of supplying you s 



1 with EARLY QUEENS AND BEES IN PACKAGES. We are breeding from queens that gave a | 



^ surplus of 300 pounds per colony in a 24-day honey-flow. You should have this strain of bees in = 



1 your yard, and insure the placing of each of your colonies on a paying basis. We have a large ^ 



= supply of queens at this time, but as orders are coming in rapidly, we recommend that you provide g 



p for your requirements early. =
