4^^d=kr%iz Vellow to the 

 LlCCIIi^ Xip, 



Great big yellow beauties, worth many times their 

 weight in gold. That is the kind of queens Trego 

 raises. 



Who Buys Them? 



Geo. E. Hilton, W. Z. Hutchinson, W. S. Hart, J. 

 P. Mclntyre, Jas. A. Green, and about 600 others not 

 SO well known. For the rest of the season there will 

 be very few drones near me except very yellow 

 ones, and nearly every queen should get 4 and 5 

 banded bees. 



Inclosed find $1.75 for one of your special mated 

 queens. One of your queens gave me 70 lbs. sur- 

 plus and the other 40 lbs. Three-fourths of the bees 

 here have made no surplus. J. F. Tbuesdell. 



Duncan Falls, O., Aug. 9, 1893. 



* * * * Stanley Bros, say slie is the yellowest 

 queen they ever saw. H. C. Mellen. 



Dixon, 111., Aug. 10, 1893. 



The quietest colony I have is from the dollar 

 queen I got of you; they have given the most honey 

 I have got from any one colony this season. 



Pances Park, Fla,, July 31, 1893, John Abbott, 



Inclosed please find $1.00 for a queen. I can get 

 them nearer home, but yours are the best I have in 

 my apiary. C. W. Brenner. 



Newburgh, Ind., Aug. 8, 1893. 



The 6 queens came to hand yesterday, in fine con- 

 dition, not a dead bee in the lot; the queens looked 

 as fresh and plump as though just taken from the 

 hives. They are decidedly the finest-looking queens 

 I ever bought; a friend from another county helped 

 me introduce them, and he said he had never re- 

 ceived one that came near them for beauty, and 

 had bought of the most noted breeders. I received 



one from yesterday, and can say nothing in 



praise lor looks. Jas. L. Gkav, 



Wholesale and Retail Supply Dealer.
