 stories, while the old Queen is still laying 

 below— how you may safely introduce any

 bees — all about shipping Queens, queen- 

 cages, candy for queen-cages, etc.— all 

 about forming nuclei, multiplying or unit-

 everything about the queen-business which 

 you may want to know, send for " Doolit- 

 tie's Scientific Queen-Rearing;" a book of 

 170 pages, which is nicely bound in cloth, 

 and is as interesting as a story. Price, $1.00.
