G-LEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



April, 1917 



SOUTHERN -BRED BEES AND QUEENS 



REARED IN THE GULF COAST COUNTRY 



THREE-BANDED ITALIANS. We are breeding from the best selected from 

 ELEVEN YARDS. Tea per cent discount on all orders received 30 days before ship- 

 ment is to be made. We believe that there is a BRIGHT FUTURE before the North- 

 ern beekeeper in making up his winter loss and strengthening up his weak colonies by 

 getting bees from the South in 1 and 2 lb. packages; and you can always have your 

 queens sent safely this way. Every beekeeper knows what it means to have strong 

 colonies at the commencement of the honey-flow. Every northern beekeeper ought to 

 try from 2 to 5 packages this year. It will not cost you much, and may mean much 

 to you in the FUTURE. We guarantee safe arrival on all bees in 6 days of here.

Bees sometimes starve with plenty of honey in | 



the hive. Why not avoid this risk by placing a | 



plale or two of candy on the frames when you i 



pack for winter? It is a good life insurance, i
