John M. Davis, Spring Hill, Tenn. 



Put a good queen in each colony now, when good 

 queens can be had promptly at low prices. The wise 

 beekeeper does not buy queens in spring when they 

 are scarce, high in price, delivery uncertain. He 

 bu.vs now and insures disease resistance, safe win- 

 tering, and a good honey crop. Our Italian queens 

 give these three qualities and are now at their best ; 

 I, 75 cts.; 6. $4.25; 12, $8.00; 25, $15.00; 100, 

 $50. J, B, Hollopeter, Queenbreeder, Rockton, Pa.

Curd Walker, Jellico, Tenn. 



I think so much of my Walker queens and bees 

 that I have been able to induce my friend Mr. Walter 

 Hall to try one. I am quite sure he will find them 

 as good as I recommend. I have in my apiary 

 queens from four different breeders of queens, but 

 the Walker beats thera all. When I want more 

 queens yours are good enoutrh for me even if the 

 ])rice is a little steep. J. M. Meadows, Dorton, Tenn.

TRADE NOTES 



BEE.SW.AX M.\RKKT. 



With a slackening demand the market for bees- 

 wax is easier, and it is offered at prices at least 

 tliree to six cents per pound lower than were being 

 asked several weeks ago. Tlie wax which we take 

 in from this time on for some montlis is accumulated 

 for next season's use in making comb foundation. 

 Since we shall not need it for some time, we are 

 not so keen to buy as we wore a few weeks ago in 

 the height of the sea.son. In view of an easier mar- 

 ket and a less urgent need we reduce the price we 

 pay from this date to 36 cts. per lb. cash, or 38 cts, 

 in trade delivered in Medina. One to two cents less 

 at our branches. 



GLASS .JARS FOR HONEV. 



After a good deal of delay we have furnished the 

 1-lb. round .iars ottered in the April issue from
