QUEENS! 



Improved Golden and Iveather-colored : Ital- 

 ians are what H. G. QUIRIN rears. 



We have one of Root's best lone'-tong'ued Red- 

 Clover Breeders from their $21*0 queen, and a 

 Golden Breeder from Doolittle,who says if there 

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

 $KK), this one is worth that sum. The above 

 breeders have been added to our already im- 

 proved strain of queens for the coming- season. 



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

 Aug". 5th, 19tVi, saving 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 woik on Red Clover, 

 as they were the only kind in his locality and 

 apiary. 



A. I. Root's 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. AVe 

 have years of e.'fperience in mailing and rearing 

 queens. Safe delivery will be guaranteed, and 

 instructions for introducing sent with each lot 

 of queens.

Bees Wintered Fairly WelL 



I could not get alon^r without the Bee .Jour- 

 nal. My bees wintered fairly well last winter, 

 and they are in good condition. I now have 

 14 colonies. I commenced three years- ago, 

 hut lost the most of them the first two win- 

 ters. I tried to keep them in an out-house, 

 hut it was too cold. Last winter I had them 

 in the cellar under the house, and they did 

 well, and came out very strong this spring. 



This country is very good for bees. There 

 are lots of all kinds ot flow'ers. and white 

 clover that blossoms all summer. My bees 

 carried in pollen the last of March, but it is 

 quite cold in the winter, and the bees must 

 have a good cellar, when they will do well 

 here. I have had two swarms of bees this 

 spring. 



This was written by my son, Winfred 

 Schmidt. I gave him a swarm of bees to 

 start on, and he is going to be a bee-keeper 

 when he gets bigger. F. C. Schmidt.

Bees in a Hemlock Tree. 



I was in the woods all winter, and the first 

 tree that I cut down was a very large hemlock, 

 out of which I got a colony of bees. They 

 were in a hollow 62 feet from the ground. I 

 cut out the wood around the bees, making a 

 block about 3 feet long, which I rolled onto 

 the sleigh, and took home. W. E. Youxo.

Honey as Food and Medicine. 



I agree with Mr. Doolittle about honey 

 being good for both food and medicine. We 

 eat it the year around, and have no sickness 

 to speak of. It is so good for children, curing 

 colds, sore throat, and almost everything that 

 a child is subject to. We eat an average ot a 

 pound and a half a day. 



Our honey crop was very poor last year.

A Report from Tennessee. 



I caught a swarm of bees a few years ago, 

 subscribed for the "Old Reliable,'' became 

 interested, and now have 10 strong colonies 

 and one new swSrm. I have bought about a 

 dozen ([ueens, but don't have very good luck 

 with them, so we still have blacks and hybrids. 

 1 do not expect, nor desire, many swarms this 

 spring, but have nine new hives awaiting 

 occupancy. I use the .S-frame Simplicity, and 

 plain sections and fences. I don't think there 

 is any money in bees in this section, but there 

 is much pleasurable pastime. 



White clover is abundant, and has been in 

 bloom for two weeks. Bees are busy, but 

 have not done much work in the sections yet.

Perry Co., Tenn., May IS. 



From Wisconsin to Washington. 



Bees did not winter very well in this locality 

 as a general thing: some bee-keepers lost 

 (luite heavily while others did not lose any. 

 The spring has been very favorable tor them 

 to build up, and the prospect is for a good 

 honey-year. The weather has been very 

 warm, and somewhat dry, but lately we have 

 had plenty of rain. 



On the morning of May 16 I left home for 

 the Pacific coast, going by way of St. Paul, 

 passing through a portion of northern Wis- 

 consin, across Minnesota, North Dakota, Mon- 

 tana, a portion of Idaho, and into central 

 Washington — a jaunt ot nearly 4000 miles — 

 and I did not see a single bee-hive, although I 

 was on the lookout for bees. While in Lin- 

 coln Cotmty, central Washington. I heard ot 

 a man 15 miles away tlmt had some bees. I
