Carrkiolans.— We have bred this race of bees 

 for 20 years, and find they are among the gentlest bees 

 known; very hardy and prolific, and the best of honey- 

 gatherers, and work on red clover; great comb-builders, 

 and their combs are of snowy whiteness. 



Golderx ai\4l LeatHer Italians.— Are
