Sees 81 Queens Soon as the season admits we sliall begin get- ting young, laying, Italian queens from the South. These we will sell at $ each. If cus- tomers prefer, they may have tested queens from our own apiary at the same price ; we replacing them with the young queens from the South. We have followed this practice the two past years, and have found that the introduction of a young queen early in the season usually prevents swarm- ing ; and it is that our tested queens may be sold off quickly, early in the season, that we offer them at such a low price. These tested queens that we offer were all reared last season, and are fine queens right in their prime. Our bees are wintering well, and we shall prob- ably have some to sell in the spring at the fol- lowing prices : Single colony, $; five colonies, $. each ; ten, or more colonies, $ each. The frames are Langstroth, eight in a hive, and the hives old style Heddon with loose bottom boards. They are similar to the Root Dove- tailed hive. Bees in the New Heddon hive can be furnislied at an advance of fifty cents per col- ony upon above prices. We also have about a dozen colonies of Carniolans. Would sell part of them at $ per colony. Orders for the above will be booked as re- ceived, and filled in rotation. W. Z. HUT
