Formerly of Wharton, Texas, 

 has moved his entire bee and 

 queen business to Hondo, Texas, 

 where he is now a member 

 of a joint stock company. 



The queen- rearing depart- 

 ment of our company will be 

 under the personal supervi- 

 sion of W. 0. Victor. The 

 same strain of bees and 

 methods will be used that he 

 formerly used in Wharton. 

 We will confine ourselves to 

 the long -tongue clover strain 

 of three-banded Italian bees, 

 as we consider them the best 

 all-round bees on earth.
