RED CLOVER ITALIAN BEES and queens in 

 two and three-pound packages for sale. My bees 

 have taken first prize at the North Carolina State 

 Pair. Our bees are giving wonderful results the 

 entire U. S. A. over and Canada. We have shipped 

 bees to nearly very State in the U. S. and have 

 had wonderful success. We ship bees by parcel 

 post mostly with the privilege of the cages returned 

 to us. Our bees are wonderfully good honey-gath- 

 erers, and are beautiful queens, free from foul-brood 

 disease of any kind. You will make no mistake in 

 buying them. First come, first served. Deliveries, 

 May and June, 1920. Write us your needs.

 three times over. Let me book your order now with
