Two Thousand 



Nuclei For 

 Spring Delivery 



i A great many progressive beekeepers; 

 i of today buy nuclei to make up winter ; 

 I losses, or in the form of pound packages \ 

 \ to strengthen weak colonies. We know : 

 I this is a good investment, and for a good ; 

 I many years have raised bees in the ; 

 I South, sending them north to catch the ; 

 I honey flow in July and August. It is our ; 

 i policy, in furnishing our customers with ; 

 I bees from our southern apiaries, to fur- ; 

 I nish bees that give satisfaction to you, as i 

 ; they have to us for the past ten years, i 

 ; We are very particular as to the strain ; 

 I of bees we keep, and the rearing of our \ 

 : queens is in the hands of an expert. 



We maintain that the queen is the life \ 

 I of the colony, and they are reared under | 

 ; the most favorable conditions, that of [ 

 natural swarming, and they are fine large I 

 ones with energy to spare, and as good 1 

 as money can buy. However, we do not ! 

 sell queens, but we see that a good queen | 

 goes with every nucleus we sell. We guar- 1 

 antee you safety against disease, as our | 

 bees are inspected constantly, and our i 

 apiaries closely watched to see that no | 

 disease appears. Our prices as follows: I 



= Full colonies of bees, $12.00 per colony | 



I 1-pound package $2.50 | 



I 2-pound package 4.50 | 



I 3-pound package 6.50 | 



I For packages with 'queens add $1.50 for | 

 I each package. |
