I EUROPEAN FOUL BROOD I 



I is spreading in various parts of the 1 



I country. The first step in its cure | 



I is a vigorous strain o£ ITALIANS. | 



I The Root Strain of Bees have shown j 



I Themselves to be Highly Resistant | 



M While we do not claim their introduction will alone cure European Foul g 



g Brood, or that it will not make a start in their colonies, we have reports M 



g of where they have, with a little help, fought themselves nearly clean of g 



M European Foul Brood which was all around them in black and hybrid M 



M colonies. g 



m These queens will be ready for delivery about June 1. Orders will be g 



g filled in rotation. Later in the season we will make delivery promptly. g 



1 PRICES.— Our regular price is .$1.50 in June and $1.00 after July 1 for 1 



g untested queens; but we will club them with Gleanings in Bee Culture g 



m for one year and a queen for $1.50, provided we can fill orders for queens g 



g when we have a surplus of them. This will probably be July and August. g
