For a number of years we have been sending out to bee-keep- 

 ers exceptionally line Untested Italian Queens, purely mated, and 

 all right in every respect. Here is what a few of those who re- 

 ceived our Queens have to say about them : 



What They Say of Our Queens 



George W. York & Co.:— The two queens received of you Bome time 

 ago are flne. 'i'hey are sood breeders, and the wurkersare shuwinn up tine. 

 I introduced them among black bees, and the bees are nearly yellow now, 

 and are dninsr good work. A. W. Swan. 



Nemaha, Co., Kan., July 15, 1905. 



George W, York & Co.:— After importing queens for 15 years you have 

 sent me the be&t. She keeps 9X Lanpstroth frames fully occupied to date, 

 and, although I kept the hive well contracted, to force them to swarm, they 

 built a queen-cell, and will put up 100 pounds of honey if the 



CHAS. MITCHELL. 



^^^^ 



1 bought of you has proven a good 



. olonies. N. P. Oglksby. 



Washington Co.. Va., July a2. 1905. 



George W. York & Co.:— The queen I received of youafew days ago 

 came through U.K., and 1 want to say that she ia a beauty. I immediately 

 introduced her into a colony which had been queenless for 20 days. She 

 was accepted by them, and has gone to work nicely. I am highly pleased 

 with her and your promptness in filling my order. My father, who is an old 

 bee-keeper, pronounced her very fine. You will hear from me again when I 

 am in need of something In the bee-line. E. E. McColm. 



Marion Co., 111., July 13. 



We usually begin mailing Queens in May, and continue there- 

 after, on the plan of " first come first served." The price of one 

 of our Untested Queens alone is 75 cents, or with the monthly 

 American Bee Journal one year — both for $1. Three Queens 

 (without Journal) would be $2.10, or 6 for $4.00. Full instructions for introducing are sent 

 with each Queen, being printed on the underside of the address-card on the mailing-cage. You 

 cannot do better than to get one or more of our fine Standard-Bred Queens. 



A Great Bee=Book for Bee-Keepers 



Every one who has bees, or is thinlfing of keeping them, should have a good bee-book. 

 The one written by Prof. A. J. Cook, called 



The Bee-Keepers' fiuWe; or, Mannal of the Apiary 



is a tine cloth-lx)und book of 544 pages. It gives in detail much valuable information about 

 bees and the successful management. This book is in its 19th thousand, so it has had a large 

 sale. It is also the latest edition. In connection with the Weekly American Bee Journal it is 

 most helpful. It answers so many questions that constantly arise, especially among beginners, 

 and that of course cannot be repeated in a bee-paper. Prof. Cook is a bee-keeper of over 30 

 years' experience. He is also a close student of nature, a scientist — in short, a man who has 

 given his life to the study of bees and related subjects. You would wonderfully enjoy reading 

 his book, and at the same time be greatly profited. Better have a copy of it. 



This bee-book is $1.20 postpaid, or with themonthlyAmerican Bee Journal one year — 

 both for $1.45. It is the biggest 145 cents' worth of bee-literature to be found anywhere.
