GLEANINGS IN 



FOR SALE — 100% queens bred from extra- 

 select Jay Smith breeder. Larger queens from my 

 cell builders reinforced with hatching brood and 

 mated in standard frame nuclei. I guarantee safe 

 arrival and entire satisfaction and that every queen 

 lays before being caged. Also package bees. I am 

 after a name and reputation. Give me a trial. 

 Select untested, 1, $1.25; 6, $7.00; 12, $13.00; 25 

 to 100, $1.00 each. H. Peterman, R. F. D., La- 

 throp, Calif. 



PACKAGE BEES — 'While publishing the Bee- 

 keepers' Review I sold thousands of packages of 

 bees for others and I do not think I ever offered a 

 better bargain on bees than I can offer on 200 4-lb. 

 packages from Georgia. They are really a one-frame 

 nucleus containing 4 lbs. of bees, the comb contain- 

 ing the feed for the bees while in transit. There 

 is really no loss in shipping bees this way, as I 

 know from long experience in shipping hundreds of 

 packages. The queens are tested three-handed stock 

 less than a year old,except a few mismated ones 

 which will be replaced by young ones reared this 

 spring. There has never been disease in this loca- 

 tion. Safe delivery by express guaranteed. Deliv- 

 ery to be made between April 20 and May 10. The 

 regular price of package bees seems to be $2.00 per 

 pound and tested queens, $2.00 each, which would 

 make one package at market price cost $10.00. I 

 quote 10 4-lb. packages of bees with tested queens 

 at $60.00; 50 packages at $287.50; 100 packages, 

 $550.00. Large purchasers had better wire in 

 their order, as they will not last long at this low 

 price. Write or wire me here at my winter home.
