NO BETTER BEES THAN THESE 



From April 15 to July 1 we shall have 30 pounds of combless bees a day. These 

 bees are bred from Dr. C. C. Miller 's best — and there are no better. The demand from 

 the North for such bees is likely to be large this spring. Beekeepers are going to be 

 on the jump this year because of the bright prospects ahead. So book your order early 

 with us and you will know just when the bees will be shipped — and remember we will 

 not book more than we can supply. Here are our prices.
