6000 Pounds of Honey Lost >^ >^ 



Mr. Davis, of California, writes that he estimates his loss this season at six thousand pounds of honey by 

 rot getting all of his queens from us. . . He had three hundred colonies without our stock. Our queers gave 

 him an average of twenty pounds per colony more than what h* got from others.

 will make no mistake. Untestt^l, if 1 00; $9.00 per dozen. Tested, $1.50 each. Breeders, $3.00. Get prices on nuclei 

 and full color ies. A big stock of Dittmer's process foundation on hand at Dittmer's prices.
