QUEENS! 



Improved Golden and Leather-colored Ital- 

 ians are what H. G. QUIRIN rears. 



We have one of Root's best loner-tongued Red- 

 Clover Breeders from their $2i-X) queen, and a 

 Golden Breeder from Doolitlle,who says if there 

 is a BREEDER of golden bees in the U.S. worlh 

 $UX), this one is worlh that sum. The above 

 breeders have been added to our already im- 

 proved strain of queens for the coming: season. 



J. L. Gandy, of Humboldt, Nebr., wrote us on 

 Aug-. 5tb, 19LKI, saying- that the colony having- 

 one of our queens had already stored over 400 

 pounds of honey (mostly comb>; he states that 

 he is certain that our bees work on Red Clover, 

 as they were the only kind in his locality and 

 apiary. 



A. I. Roofs folks say that our queens are 

 extra fine, while the editor of the American Bee 

 Journal tells us that he has good reports from 

 our queens from time to time. We have files 

 upon files of unsolicited testimonials. 



After considering the above evidence, need 

 you wonder why our orders have increased each 

 year ? Give us'a trial order and be pleased. We 

 have years of experience in mailing- and rearing- 

 queens. Safe delivery will be guaranteed, and 

 instructions for introducing sent with each lot 

 of queens.

A Report from Nebraska. 



I have s roll lilies of liees which I wiiitert-d 

 on the summer stands without any loss. They 

 were packed with tim- prairie hay. with a shed 

 over them which ojiened to the south. The 

 liees are not as stroui^' as they usually are at 

 this time of the year, Init we have a fine fruit- 

 bloom, and the bees are beginning to hustle, 

 so I think they will be in good condition for 

 heartsease, which commences to bloom in 

 July. Dan N. Haskix. 



Lancaster Co., Neb., May 12. 



Loss 15 Percent— "The Home 

 Circle." 



My bees came out of the cellar in the poor- 

 est condition thej' ever did, my loss being 

 about 15 percent when it usually is about 'J 

 liercent. The cause of loss was short stores 

 and mould. 



1 now have 49 colonies all in good condi- 

 tion, but I fear we are going to have another 

 dry spring like the one we liad last year, 

 which cut short the honey crop. I run my 

 liees for both comb and extracted honey. 



I think a great deal of Prof. Cook's home 

 talks, and hope he will continue them. Good 

 luck to the •• Old Reliable."

The California Honey Crop Again. 



We have just had a \'ery nice rain, aooord- 

 iiig to reports 1 have heard, varying from 

 one-half to V.^ inches. I presume the readers 

 of the American Bee Journal expect me to 

 talce off my hat and cry aloud — in fact, so 

 loud that I can be heard across the continent 

 — that California is going to have a wonder- 

 ful crop of honey, "Nit," And that is just 

 why I am writing this, I want to enter a 

 protest right here against bee-keepers becom- 

 ing so enthusiastic. It reminds me of a lot 

 of jiigs — throw an ear of corn in among a lot 

 of pigs, and when one gets hold ot it, instead 

 of quickly walking off to one side and enjoy- 

 ing his good fortune, he immediately starts 

 off and begins to siiueal, notifying the whole 

 hevil of what a good thing he is /joiiig to have, 

 and tliereliy loses his cluinee of getting what 

 he justly should have had. 



Now. don't mark me down as being hide- 

 bound and selfish, for I don't want all of the 

 " corn," but I do want all that I shell from 

 the cob, I have noticed more than one arti- 

 cle — in fact, I think several — since the pres- 

 ent season set in, that was ver.v misleading. 

 The writers were innocent of any intentional 

 harm, yet I think they have done consider- 

 aWe to the honey market, I will cite only 

 one instance to illustrate : Mrs, Harris, on 

 page 341 of Gleanings in Bee-Culture, says, 

 " And considering California's and Cuba's 

 |irospective large crops of extracted honey, I 

 shall operate my bees principally for coral) 

 honey," Now, I think Mrs, Harris must 

 have drawn her conclusions from what she 

 has read. 



As to Cuba's prospective crop. I would not 

 like to hazard even a guess, for I know noth- 

 ing about the country or its prevailing con- 

 ditions; but as to California, I do not think 

 the facts of the actual conditions here will 

 warrant any conclusions that California will 

 have a large extracted honey crop, I do not 

 believe it is right for any one to make an 

 assertion unless it is founded on facts that 

 will substantiate his argument, and as I have 

 iiniilif'l ili:it Ciilifoniia will not have a large 



croi' "I 1 :- I will endeavor to give the 



actual liiiidn iiMi~ hi'i-e, 



Pk-aM.- bear in luind one thing, that is, that 

 I am speaking comparatively with large crops 

 of the past seasons. The last time Southern 

 California had a good honey season Califor- 

 nia produced a great amount of honey. That
