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

 ers exceptionally fine 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 & Oo. : -The two giie<^n8 received of yoo some time 

 ago are tine. I'hey are gut>d breeders, and the workers are showing up tine. 

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

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



Nemaha, Co., Kan., July 13, lft05. 



CHAS. Mitchell. 



George W. York & Co.:— The queen I bought of yon taas proven a ffood 

 one, and has given me some of my best colonies. N. P. OGLE8BT. 



Washington Co., Va., July 22, 190.''). 



George W. York & Co.:— The queen I received of yoaafew da^s ago 



came through O.K., and 1 want to say that she is a beauty. 1 immediately 

 introduced her into a colony which hud been queenlesa for 2n days. She 

 was accepted by them, and has gone to work nicely. 1 am highly pleased 

 with her and your promptness in tilling ray order. My father, who is an old 

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

 am in need of something in the bee-line. B. B. McColm. 



Marion Co., III., July 13. 



We usually begin mftiling 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 introdncing are sent 

 with each Queen, being printed on the underside of the address-card on the naailing-oage. You 

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