to qaestioD it ). then any (lueeu-breeder who 

 does not iisf your method, or one equally 

 good — for instance the Doolittle, is not 

 lookiujr to the interest of his pocketbook. 

 It was (t. M. Doolittle who first made a suc- 

 cess of havinii cells built in regular ' rows 

 on a stick. ' A good many have since 

 made a successor his plan, although some 

 of us did not succeed to our satisfaction. It 

 was J. D. Fooshe, I believe, who first made 

 a practical success of raising queen-cells 

 from drone-cells. As I judge, you have 

 simply followed out or elaborated his plan. 

 One thing is certain, friend Tones: If you 

 and Fooshe and Doolittle can get such re- 

 sults as these, then we old fogies who have 

 not made a like success had better work and 

 plan until success is achieved. You may he 

 sure the plan outlined above will be fairly 

 tested in our apiary: and if we do not suc- 

 ceed we shall keep on fussing until we do.

First and last there has been a god deal 

 said about the low prices at which queens 

 have been sold, some breeders asserting. 

 that good queens could not be reared at the 

 prices at which queens are usually sold. In 

 the first place we must remember that the 

 price of almost every thing is very low com- 

 pared to what it was years ago, and that 

 such scientific and exact methods for get- 

 ting cells as is described in the foregoing 

 article, coupled with such methods, for 

 instance, as that given in the last Review, 

 whereby queens are fertilized and kept for 

 sale in very small nuclei on the top of full 

 colonies, and to this add the improved 

 cages and food that enable tlie breeder to 

 ship queens with almost no losses; when all 

 of these things ars considered it is no won- 

 der that really good queens can be furnish- 

 ed at a low price by those breeders who are 

 really up with the times.

Queen J©uyeps, 



Consider these facts : Feing in the South, I get 

 started so early in the seasdn that I have a stock 

 of queens on hand before the rush of orders be- 

 gins. I have such a largo stock of bees to work 

 wiih that there is no likelihood of getting behind 

 with orders. For inblance, 1 have 50 faultless 

 breeders in full colonies. When I say that 1 can 

 send queens by uetubn m.\il, it if- not done sim- 

 ply for the sake or the sonnd, but because I can 

 and IJO. The best known methods are employed 

 for securing queen ceils. Thcie are no black 

 bees in this ■n icini'y, and no drooPS allowed to 

 fly in my yard except those from straight, five- 

 banded stock, and they are so numerous that a 

 rnismate<l (lueen is a rarity. Some idea of the 

 fine marking-i of my bees may be gained from 

 the fact that they took first premiums at the 

 State fairs of Mich.. Ind. and Wis., and the 

 queens at Ills, and Ind. No foul brood or bee 

 paralysis in this section. Untested queens, 

 75 cts each ; 6 for $4.00; or $7. .50 per dozen.
