 from you. W. MCKAY DOUGAN, M. D.

Queen was received all right. Her progeny is 

 as well marked as herself, and she is the handsom- 

 est queen I ever received from any dealer.

The colony of bees you forwarded me last June 

 turned out very well, and such a colony of bees as 

 I had at the close of summer was worth looking at. 

 J. MATTHEW JONES, Halifax, N. S. 



A thousand thanks for the two Cyprian Queens. 

 They are both laving at the rate of 3,000 eggs per 

 day. C. A. STEVENS, St. Liboire, Ont., Canada,

 arc simply beautiful, and as for their honey-gath- 

 ering qualities, they cannot be excelled.
