The above Queens are reared from select- 

 ed Red Clover Mothers. For Gentleness. 

 Beauty, and Good Working Qualities no bet- 

 ter BEES can be found. Our Queens are all 

 large, well-developed Queens, reared entire- 

 ly by the BEES. We use no artificial plans 

 to rear Queens— the BEES far better under- 

 stand the job than MAN.

 country as a bee-country, and is so infatua- 

 ted with it that he is closing out his bees in 

 Arizona. He has been to great e.\pense in
