^ nectar; in a high degree they are very resistant to disease, gentle and beautiful, not given to s 



s .swarming, hardy, long-lived. We breed from imported stock from Italy, the very best obtainable M 



s for lioney -gathering; they are known thruout the world; they don't need any recommendation. =
