We have just invented a new-style cage for shipping bees, for which patent has been applied. This 

 cage allows the queen to lay while on the trip, which gives the purchaser from three to seven days' advantage 

 of the old-style cage. It is almost equal to a colony of bees. With every order for 100 pounds of bees we 

 will give one of these packages with a tested queen free. We have only one dozen of these cages, and will 

 not put them on the market till 1918, as our stock of cages was made up before we evolved the new cage. 



Our Mr. A. B. Marchant has retired from the production of honey and will manage our yards for the 

 package and queen trade. Therefore, we will be in a better position to fill all orders with dispatch. Having 

 doubled our capacity we believe we can fill all orders the day they are due. We have introduced new blood in 

 all our yards, and we have a strain of bese second to none. Our packages are shipped the same day they are 

 caged Our bees for our packages are all reared above an excluder; therefore, we ship nothing but young 

 bees, as young bees stand the trip better than older ones. We guarantee freedom from' all diseases and 

 safe arrival in the United States and Canada. Place your orders early, as first come first served. Write 

 for prices on large orders.

Will book orders now. Untested 

 Queens ready to mail April 1. 



As I am located in the southern part of the 

 state where we have an early spring, I can rear 

 Queens of High Quality much earlier than 

 most other breeders, and as I am a honey pro- 

 ducer as well as a queen-breeder, I believe I 

 am in a position to know the value of good 

 queens. I have never had a case of foul brood 

 in any of my colonies. If you want queens 

 that are exceptionally vigorous and prolific, 

 that produce bees that are gentle and the best 

 of honey-gatherers, let me book your order. Will 

 guarantee safe arrival in the United States and 

 Canada. Send for free circular and price list.
