 we note the receipt of some comb from Lemoore.

 excellence would »ie hard to beatina'iy part of the

I see by Sept. ^o.ot GUanlngs,^r. O. E. Coon 

 wishes to know where he crtn procure Italian 

 queens that will pr<)duce yellow dnmes. Mr. Coon 

 can tret queens fruni Henry Alley, Wenhatu, Mass., 

 that will pro(1ui-e yellow drones and yellow bees 

 with three bands ; no two-i..iinded bees amoDg 

 them, and the worker bees are workers, as good as 

 the best. They are very docile (can be bandied 

 without bet-veil >. and are very hardy. I have had 

 Italian queens from Mr. Alley since V-^T-^. and have 

 never known a quefu to produce a durk-colored 

 drone, and the wi)rker bees need not be put on a 

 window to show their three I'ands. They will show 

 tnerii when empty. C. J. Aldex, Oakdale. Wia.,
