Bee -Supplies 



For Southern 

 Bee -Keepers 



I have been over 20 years in the bee-supply 

 business, manufacturing hives and fixtures, and 

 raising bees and queens. With all this experience 

 and the excellent facilities 1 have, I am able to fill 

 your orders promptly, and give absolute satisfac- 

 tion. Though I make my own hives I carry a com- 

 plete stock of The A. I. Root Company's manufac- 

 ture. Just specify " Root's Goods" and you will 

 get them. 



Bees and Queens 



I breed with scientific, intelligent methods, 

 from the best Imported and Long-tongued stock. 

 Cheap queens may be had elsewhere. My stock is 

 worth every cent of the price. You will be 

 pleased with it. I GUARANTEE IT.
