llO STANDS OF BEES 



As my health has failed, and I have decided to re- 

 move to Col. this fall, 1 offer my bees at a bargain. 

 Almost all my frames are wired, and will stand ship- 

 ping. I will sell by the colony, by the pound, by the 

 nucleus, or any way to suit purchaser. Write what 

 .you want, and I will give you low prices and fine 

 stocks. I have a large number of $1.00 queens on 

 hand; can furnish a number of Presses before I re- 

 move to Col. Write for our late postal circular.

 T. F. Binoham, Ahronia, Mich.:— 



Dear Sir:— Please send me by mail two Large, six 

 Extra, and four Standard Bingham smokers. Your 

 four-years-old smoker is still in use, and does good 

 service; the only trouble being, it is too small. I 

 require the Large size. I have a Large and Small 

 Quinby; Large one condemned; the other I got 

 along with by repairing often. As far as I have 

 tried them, I prefer yours above all, and shall keep 

 them in stock. Yours truly, Jas. D. Enas.
