QUEENS OF QUALITY 



The Editor of the i^cf/ifeV-fVi' AV;'/t?»/ and his sons have iioo colonies of bees that they 

 work for extracted honey. With all those bees working with equal advantage, all having 

 the same care and attention, they have an opportunity unexcelled to ascertain without a 

 reasonable doubt colonies desirable as breeders from a honey-producers' standpoint. 

 Likely never in the history of beekeeping was there a better opportunity to test out the 

 honey getting strain of bees than this. Think of it, iioo colonies with equal show, and a 

 dozen of those colonies storing 250 to 275 pounds of surplus honey this last poor with us) 

 season, while the average of the entire IIOO was not more than 40 pounds per colony. We 

 have sent two of our very best breeding queens (their colonies producing 275 pounds sur- 

 plus each during the season of 11/I5) to John M. Davis and to Ben G. Davis, both of Spring 

 Hill. Tenn., and they will breed queens for the Rez'ie-cv during the season of 1016 from those 

 four superioi honey-gathering breeding queens. Those young queens will be mated with 

 their thoroughbred drones. Our stock is of three-banded strain of Italians, also that of 

 John M. Davis, while Ben G. Davis breeds that disease resisting strain of goldens that is 

 becoming so popular. 



By this time you are likely thinking that your strain of bees may be improved by the 

 addition of this superior strain of AVt'/Vic queens, and how you can secure one or more of 

 those superior honey-gathering queens as breeders. We will tell you; They will be sold 

 to none except /i'fiwn' subscribers. If you are a paid-in-advance subscriber to the A'lfi'wa 

 for igi6. we will mail you one of the daughters of those famous queens in June for a dollar 

 If not a subscriber to the /fct'/fKi for 1016. send $1.75 for a year's subscription to the Review 

 and one of those famous youngqueens. Those queens are well worth $2.00 each compared 

 to the price usually charged for ordinary queens, but we are not trying to make money out of 

 this proposition, only we are anxious to have every subscriber of the American Bee Jour- 

 nal a subscriber of the Review, and we are taking this way to accomplish the object. A few 

 of the very first orders for queens that we receive can be mailed in May, but the majority 

 will not be mailed until June. Orders filled in rotation. Have your order booked early 

 and avoid disapDointmt-nt. Address, with remittance,
