BIG IMPROVEMENTS 



X \ ^ E WISH to say to our bee-keeping friends and customers, that we are now making big improvements in our 



\A/ queen-rearing yards. Our queen-rearing capacity will be twice as large this season as it was last, as the 



* * demand for our queens has increased so that we have now employed another expert queen-rearer for this 



season, and have added 500 more full colonies of bees to our apiaries. And our motto is going to be more 



queens and better queens. We are now booking orders for spring delivery. Why not let us book yours for any 



amount you may want in the way of queens and bees. No matter how large or small, we will be able to fill your 



orders promptly from one queen to 1000, and from one colony of bees to a carload. 



Untested queens from March 1st to November 1st, 75 cts. each; $4.25 for six, or $8.00 per dozen; all other 

 months, 25 cts. extra on each queen. Tested, from $1.50 to $2.50. Breeders, the very best, $5.00. One, two, and 

 three frame nuclei and full colonies furnished on short notice. Prices cheap on application. 



We can sell you dovetailed bee-hives made of yellow pine at about half the price of white-pine goods. Get 

 our prices. Quality and workmanship guaranteed. Send for catalog describing the six different races we breed.
