(OLD IDEAS) 



Following is from Pro- 

 gressive Bee-keeper (p. 13, 

 Jan. 3,1893): 



It is said tliat you will ruin 

 your apiary by' introducing 

 those yellow - to the - tip 

 queens. Let us see liow our 

 own yard has panned out the 

 past season. It contains the 

 following strains of bees: 

 Alley. Trej-o. Nebel. L.aws, 

 (laufihter.^ of Root's lioney- 

 queens and (Juinley's golden 

 queens. All these colonies 

 produced lOU lbs. of extracted 

 lioney each, half clover and 

 lialf fall honey; none casting a swarm. All were as near the 

 same condition a" they could be got. The Trfgo stock sup- 

 plied larvie for about .31)0 qiiei'n-cclls. and bees and brood for a 

 number of nuclei. None of the others were drawn on for any 

 thing. Some built queen cells in theii- upper stories. Three- 

 fourths ol the bees in the Trego colony are what .ire called 

 flve-banded. Now, there were fifteen colonies, all told, of the 

 (litl>rent strains that we worked for extracted hone.y, and the 

 gcdden rolored bees among them have made a record equal to 

 any. 



A neiglibor said to us recently: "My gelden bees 

 wintered the best of any I had." 



We guarantee entire satisfaction or return your 

 money. One warranted queen in May, $1.25; later, 

 $1.00." All queens reared from one that gets o7t 5- 

 banded bees. Reference, A. 1. Root. Money-order
