 (queen mother selected and tested by him). 



My drones are all bred from a colony tliat winter-

 tion, bees gei.tle and e.xcellent workers. 



This colony is the result of seven direct crosses of 

 golden Italians, selecting- the most desirable for 

 breeders each spring-, irgaidless of coJor. 



Nearly every queen mates witli selected drones as 

 there are no bees within several miles of my yard. 



Duvall strain will produce nearly all 5-banded 

 bees, Manum stock 3-banded.

Black and Hybrid Queens For Sale. 



For the benefit of friends who have black or hybrid queens 

 which they wish to dispose of, we will insert notices as below, 

 first insertion free of chalge. After the first, 10 cents per line. 

 We do this because there is hardly value enough in these 

 queens to pay for buying them up and keeping them in stock, 

 and yet it is oftentimes quite an accommodation to those who 

 can not afford higher-priced ones. 



I have 25 mismated Italian queens for sale at 30 

 cts. each, or 4 for $1.00. A good share of their bees 

 are yellow. Albert Hines, 



Box .532, Independence, la.
