THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVlEv^, 



Bees Scooped ! 



i have at laHt suoceeded in buying all the bees 

 within 2*^ miles of my home apiary, except five 

 colonies, and these I have Italianize<l and liave 

 permission to control their drones. This prac- 

 tically gives me a clear field for breeding pure 

 Italian queens. I have had over twenty years' 

 experience in breeding and experimenting" witli 

 Italian queens and bees, and I now breed "for 

 business" from my own importations and Doo- 

 little's " Best." Poor stock is costly as a gift. 



One colony of Italians in single storv, S-frame, 

 D. T. hive, 1(5.00; 5 colonies, $27.. 50 ; lOcoh.nies, 

 $.')0.00;(>ne frame nucleus, $l,rO; two frame, 

 $1.7.5. Select the queen wanted and add price to 

 the above. During March and April, one tested 

 quoiQ, 2.00. Select tested queen, $3 00. After 

 May 1st, one tested queen, $1 5(l ; 3 for $4. 00; 6 

 for $7 .50 ; select tested, $2 .50. Untested (lueens 

 as early as tlie season will permit of tlu^r being 

 reared, one for f 1 00 ; 8 for $2.25 ; (i for $4 (K) ; 12 

 for $6 75. I have over 100 tested (jueens reared

Mr. L. B. Bell, formerly of Brecksville, Ohio,

 He wrote to me about it, and I told him if he

 them for him on commission. Here is a list of 

 the articles and the price at which they are 

 offered.
