lintested ITALIAN QUEEN-BEES 



OUR STANDARD-BRED 



6 Queens for $4.50; 



3 for $2.75; 1 for $1.00 



For a number of years we have been sending out to 

 bee-keepers exceptionally fine Untested Italian Queens, 

 purely mated, and all right in every respected. Here is 

 what a few of those who received our Queens have to 

 say about them : 



American Bee Journal— 



I'icntUntef! : — Last October I purchased three queens of you 

 for my experiments with different queens, and wish to ask you 

 if queens of thisseason will be of this stock ? One of the Queens 

 is the most remarkable queen I ever owned for prolificness. 

 which she transmits to all her daughters. 



Riddle. Oreg., July 4. lou. L. W. Wells. 



American Bee Journal— 



Gt'fitlemeii : —'Y\\e queen you sent me came in trood condition. 

 She was one of the best I have ever bought. I have her intro* 

 duced and she is doing business as if to the manor born I want 

 another of those beautiful queens as soon as I can possibly get 

 it for making up my fair exhibit. Please send a tine one. Such 

 queens certainly advertise your business. 



Darlington. Wis.. July 31. 1012. C. R. Bridgman. 



American Bee Journal— 



Gentlemen : —\ bought a queen of you about 35 years ago. and 

 from her I Italianized 1150 colonies of the finest beauties of 

 unusual good qualities. I lived near Milton Center. Ohio, at the 

 time. Yours truly. 



Portales. New Mexico, July 10, 1912. J. W. HouTZ. 



We usually begin mailing Queens in May, and con- 

 tinue thereafter on the plan of " first come first served." 

 The price of one of our Untested Queens alone is $1.00, 

 or with the old American Bee Journal for one year, both 

 for $1.60. Three Queens (without Bee Journal) would 

 be $2.75, or six for $4.50. Full instructions for introduc- 

 ing are sent with each Queen, being printed on the un- 

 derside of the address card on the mailing-cage. You 

 cannot do better than to get one or more of our fine 

 Standard-bred Queens. 



AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL, HAMILTON, ILLINOIS 



The ideal Hive-Tool Free as a Premium 



Exactly half actual size. 



Price, postpaid, 35 cents; or with the American Bee Journal 

 one year-both for $1.15; or mailed Free as a premium for 

 sending us one new subscription at $1.00. 



This is a special tool invented by a Minnesota bee-keeper, adapted for pry- 

 ing up supers, and for general hive and other work around the apiary. Made of 

 malleable iron, 8>^ inches long. The middle part is 1 1-16 inches wide, and 7-82 

 thick. The smaller end is 1% inches long, yi. inch wide, and 7-32 thick, ending 

 like a screwdriver. The larger end is wedge-shaped, having a fairly sharp, semi- 

 circular edge, making it almost perfect for prying up hive-covers, supers, etc., as 

 it does not mar the wood. Dr. C. C. Miller, who has used this tool since 1903, 

 says : "I think as much of the tool as ever."
