ITALIAN BEES.
I will furnish six full swarms of Italian Bees, each in Controllable Hive; the brood section (six moveable comb frames) filled with comb, honey, eggs and hatching brood well supplied with bees; a healthy prolific queen; everything ready for work; full swarms, strong and healthy; first class in every respect, with full set of boxes (the two sizes) in place on the hive each box containing comb ready for the bees to fill with honey; feeder on each ready for feeding. I will furnish the six swarms as described, for One Hundred Dollars.
I will furnish one swarm of Italian Bees in Controllable Hive with boxes, feeder and all fixtures required for Twenty Dollars.
Spring is the best time to commence Bee Keeping on my plan.
No one need be prevented from obtaining these bees no matter how great the distance they reside from me. I guarantee safe delivery at any express office.
In ordering anything of me if you do not receive what you order, write, for I warrant everything ordered to reach purchasers and be as here represented.
