CARNIOLAN QUEENS 



and 



CHAFF HIVES. 



I am breeding only one race of bees. T have 

 tested the Carniolaus with the other races of bees 

 and find them superior to all of them, in some 

 particular. They have all the good qualities of 

 others, and do not have some of their b.id trais. 

 They are mi ch easier to handle, and, if rightly 

 manage ' (given plenty of room) they will not 

 swarm any n'ore than other races. They will 

 cip their comb mcch nicer, breed earlier, and, 

 therefore, store more hodey I grade out all 

 l)oor queen cells, kill pH small or imperfect 

 qurens before mating, and sell only the choice or 

 select, bred from the best honey gatherers and 

 comb builders. I am as careful about the drones 

 as about the breeding queens. 



One queen, $1.00; two, |i. 75; six, $450 

 1 also have a few new chaff hives for sale very 

 cheap. Hives or queens in exchange for good, 

 wliite, comb honey.
