Boynd to Please! 



My flve-banded golden 

 Italian queens are bound 

 to please any reasonable 

 person. Here is how one 

 customer is pleased: 



"The queen I got of 

 you Sept. 35, 1891, is yel- 

 low all over, her bees are 

 .'j-banded, they gathered 

 96 pounds of white - 

 clover honey, and are 

 now at work on buck- 

 wheat. My next best 

 colony gathered 73 pounds. James Pratt. 



Corning, la., Aug. 33, 1893. 



I guarantee every queen to be purely mated; i. e., 

 to get bees with no less than 3 plain broad bands. 

 Nearly all of the brood that has hatched from this 

 year's queens is 4 and 5 banded; but I will not 

 wfirrant for over 3 bands, nor do any of the 

 breeders. 

 One warranted queen, $1.00; 6 for S5.00.
