GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

ees For Sale. 



My brother and myself will have about 600 colonies 

 of bees under our management the coming- season, 

 and to buy cans in which to store all of the honey 

 that we hope they will gather will cost not far from 

 $200. To secure money for that purpose I have de- 

 cided to sell a few of the bees here at home— perhaps 

 2o or 30 colonies. 



The bees are all pure Italians; most of the colonies 

 having queens of the Superior Stock. Not a queen 

 will be sent out that would not pass as a breeding 

 queen— such as dealers sell in the spring for from 

 $8.00 to $.5.00 each. The hives are 8-frame Langstroth, 

 have been used only two years, and are painted with 

 two good coats of white v>aint. The combs are all 

 built from full sheets of foundation, and wired at that. 

 In fact, the stocks are strictly first-class in every re- 

 spect—could not be better— and the price is $6.00 per 



colony, no more and no less, even if one man should 

 take the whole lot. 



I am ready to accept and book orders accompanied 

 by the cash, and when I have received orders for 30 

 colonies, this advertisement will be discontinued, and 

 no more orders accepted. The bees will be shipped 

 by express, about fruit-bloom time, and safe arrival 

 guaranteed in every respect. 



If you wish to stock your apiary with a strain of 

 bees that has no superior, here is a chance to get a 

 tested queen, already introduced, in a full colony, 

 whereby she can be shipped without injury, e.irlj in 

 the season, all at moderate price. 



To every purchaser of one or. more colonies there 

 will be sent, free of charge, the Review for 190", and 

 all of the back numbers for 1906.

The Lewis Hire Bodies are far superior, both in material and workman- 

 ship, to any I ever bought. As ever yours, E. D. Townsend.

Dear Sir: — I use Lewis Sections exclusively, there are none better — the 

 only perfect "V"-eut section that has come to my notice. They fold with- 

 out moistening. E. D. Townsknd.

 of the Albino.
