GLEAKIKGS IN BEE CULTUEE. 



May 



"There's nothing- so successful as success." For 

 many years past, wc have labored to Improve the 

 Italian bee, aiming to obtain a strain of bees that 

 would safely survive our coldest winters. That we 

 can write success upon our (apiarian) banner Is in- 

 dicated by the fact that even in this most disastrous 

 winter, every colony of our large apiary is in fine 

 condition. Others report tine success with our Ital- 

 ians. On March l-lth, M. E. Loehr, of Palestine, lod., 

 wrote us that, last fall he had !)S colonies, and now 

 all are dead but three — two of these being very 

 weak. The other colony contained one of our 

 queens, concerning which he says: — "I was sur- 

 prised to find this colony strong and healthy, and 

 am sorry I did not purchase all my queens of you, 

 they being stronger in bees now than in the fall. 

 Could say much more in praise of your bees." To 

 the 



READERS OF CLEANINGS 



we would say: If you want bees that are peaceable, 

 industrioJS, aad hardy— in short, want to possess 

 the best bees, Try our Italian!!!.
