It has long been my aim to get bees that would 

 work on red clover, anil I now have 100 colonies 

 of large, beautiful Italianti that work well on 

 red clover, and stored a nice lot of surplus from 

 this source last year. 1 can furnish untested 

 queens at 65 cts., or two for $1.25. Warranted

 machinery lor the manufacture of Bee- 

 Hives, Sections, etc. that there is in the 

 State. The material is cut from pat- 

 terns, by machinery, and is absolutely 

 accurate. For sections, the clearest and 



Whitest Ba^sfvood 



is used, and they are polished on both 

 sides. Nearness to pine and basswood 

 forests, and possession <if mills and fac-

Names of Bee - Keepers, i 



TYPE WRITTEN. 



B 



The names of my customers, and of those ask- 

 ing for sample copies, have been saved and writ- 

 ten in a book. There are several thousand all 

 arranged alphabetically (in the largest States) . 

 and, although this list has been secured at an ex- 

 pense of hundreds of dollars, I would furnish it 

 to my advertisers at $2.00 per thousand names. 

 A manufacturer who wishes for a list of the 

 names of bee-keepers in his own state only, or, 

 possibly, in the adjoining states, can be accom- 

 modated. Any inquiry in regard to the number 

 of names in a certain state, or states, will be an- 

 swered cheerfully. The former price was 2.50 

 per 1000, but I now have a type writer, and, by 

 using the manifold process, I can furnish them 

 at »2.00. W.Z. HUTCHINSON. Flint, Mich

" Favor is Deceitful ; Beauty is Vain.'' The } 

 beautiful yellow bees are going. Let them go. | 

 1 have a strain of bees that are hardy and pro- 

 lific, and remarkable for their longevity, besides 

 capping their honey the whitest of any. They 

 are the coming bees for our Northern climate. I 

 also have an apiary of golden Italians, and 

 from .Tune, throughtlie season can furnish un- 

 tested queens of either variety at 75 cts. each. 

 Tested, $1.00. Mrs OLIVER COLE,

The reason that qu°en breeders are 

 often so far bell nd with orders is they 

 don't have enough nuclei. I shall not do 

 business in that way. Just as soon as 

 the weather will permit I shall start 300 

 nuclei, and, if necessary, the number 

 will be increased to 500. I have taken 

 for my motto.
