GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

California Beats tlie World. 



An expert horticulturist has succeeded in grafting 

 the strawberry on the milk weed, and we now have 

 strawberries and cream the year round in California. 

 But our new bee beats that. 



I HAVE HAD OVER THIRTY YEARS' experience 

 in the bee business, twenty-three years in California 

 with large apiaries. Have produced hundreds of tons 

 of honey, and know what kind of bees it takes to do the 

 work. And that is the kind we offer to sell at a living 

 price. 



1 Untested Queen, $1.00 



6 Untested Queens, 5.00 



12 Untested Queens. 9.00 



Tested Queens. $2.00 each. 

 Breeders, $5.00 each. 



We have both the Leather and Golden bees. Either 

 strain same price. 



I have also 85 tons of No. 1 sage honey for sale.
