TESTED QUEENS 



Are usually sold for $2.00. I will explain why I wish to sell a few 

 at less than that. As most of my readers know, I requeen my 

 apiary each spring with young queens from the South. This is 

 done to do away with swarming:. If done early enough it is usually successful. It will be sem that the 

 queens displaced by these young queens are never more than a year old; in fact, they are fine, tested, 

 Italian queens, right in their prime; yet, in order that they m:iy move off quickly, and thus make room 

 for the untested queens, they will be sold for only ONE DOLLAR. Or I will send the Review for 1896 and 

 one of these queens for only $1.75. For $3 00 I will send the Keview, the queen, and the book "Advanced 

 Bee Culture." If any prefer the young, laying queens from the South, they can have them instead of the 

 tested queens, at the same price. A discount on large orders for untested queens. Say how many are 

 wanted, and a price will be made. Orders can be filled as soon as it is warm enough to iiandle bees and 

 ship queens with safety. _ . _
