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 containing 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 ship- 

 ping hundreds of packages. The queens are tested 

 three-banded 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 location. Safe delivery by 

 express guaranteed. Delivery to be made between 

 April 20 and May 10. The regular price of pack- 

 age bees seems to be $2.00 per pound and tested 

 queens, $2 00 each, which would make one pack- 

 age 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. Address
