CYPRUS ISLAND QUEENS. 



Having wintered our Cyprian Bees successfully, 

 we shall be prepared to furnish Queens the coming 

 season at $10. each. 



These bees were forwarded to us direct from the 

 Island of Cyprus, and as no other bees will be bred 

 in our locality, we can guarantee the purity of their 

 Queens. 



That we may give satisfaction to all, we shall fill 

 orders strictly in rotation, no order being booked un- 

 less $1. be forwarded. 



Safe arrival of Queens by mail or express guar- 



° Tipo^TEs mum queens. 



Previous to the arrival of our Cyprians we con- 

 tracted for a large number of Italian Queens. These 

 we will sell at $4. each— if they can be forwarded 

 .iust as received. If we are to select the largest and 

 lightest colored or retain them until their worker 

 progeny appear, we mast ask ^5. each. We will de- 

 liver at express office here in box as received, or 

 forward by mail, as requested.
