Our bees art, hti.stlers for honey, prolific, gentle, very resistant to European Foul Brood, our cus- 

 tomers tell us. For years we have been shipping thousands of queens and pounds nf bees all over 

 the U. S. A. and Canada. We are continually getting letters with statements such as the following: 

 "Well pleased with your stock," "Best we ever had," "The tees we got from you are the tops (best) 

 we have in our 225 colonie-s," "Bees arrived in tine shape, well pleased," etc., etc. Write for cir- 

 culars giving details, etc. We are quoting a lower price for balance of the year, but will still hold 

 up the high standard of quality. 



I have a good proposition for 2 or 'S Northorn beekeepers that would like to come South this fall. 

 Write for particulars.
