Spring Delivery | 



A great many progressive beekeepers J 



i of today buy nuclei to make up winter | 



losses, or in the form of pound packages § 



to strengthen weak colonies. We know! 



this is a good investment, and for a good | 



many years have raised bees in the i 



South, sending them north to catch the | 



honey flow in July and August. It is our g 



policy, in furnishing our customers with g 



bees from our southern apiaries, to fur- 1 



nish bees that give satisfaction to you, as | 



they have to us for the past ten years. | 



: We are very particular as to the strain | 



: 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 | 

 : of the colony, and they are reared under | 

 \ the most favorable conditions, that of | 

 ; natural swarming, and they are fine large 1 

 : ones with energy to spare, and as good i 

 ; as money can buy. However, we do not 1 

 ; sell queens, but we see that a good queen | 

 I goes with every nucleus we sell. We guar- 1 

 ; antee you safety against disease, as our § 

 : bees are inspected constantly, and our | 

 ; apiaries closely watched to see that no | 

 i disease appears. Our prices as follows: I 



I Full colonies of bees, $12.00 per colony | 



I 1-pound package $2.50 | 



I 2-pound package 4.50 | 



j 3-pound package 6.50 |
