Bees

A BIG MONEY PRODUCER
Samuel Ebert of Roberts is probably one of the biggest honey producers in this part of the state. Mr. Ebert is in the mercantile business at Roberts, but still finds time to give to his bees, and he is an expert apiarist. His bees are the three-banded leather colored Italian variety and Mr. Ebert believes there are no better kind of bees as honey producers. This year his bees produced nearly eight tons of honey of the finest quality. Besides producing honey for the market, Mr. Ebert raises queens for sale, and has already disposed of about 150 this year. He is as careful to keep his bees up to the highest standard of breed as would the breeder of pure bred livestock. --Paxton Record.
