A daughter of one of Dr. Miller's best honey getting Queens and The Beekeepers' Review 

 one year for only (2 00. Every one will want one of tlie famous world champion honey pro- 

 ducers. Listen to the record; A yard of 72 colonies produced in one season 17.684 finished 

 sections of comb honey or an average of 245 sections per colony. This is without a doubt 

 the world's record crop from a yard of that size. Start breeding a honey strain of bees by 

 using one of those famous queens this season. This is the first time stock from this noted 

 yard has been- on sale. Our breeder, one of the very best in the Gulf States, will breed 

 from one of those best queens, and as his original stock is of the best three-banded stock, 

 wonderful results is to be expected. Let us book your order at this time for one of those 

 fine queens, for we only have for sale something like Suo for June delivery. The queen is 

 well worth all we are asking. $2.00 and the Review a year. 



1000 Pound Packages of Combless Bees for Sale With Queen 



Did you ever ask a breeder to quote you a price upon a thousand pound packages of 

 combless bees ? If you did. you will have noticed that he took his pencil from his pocket 

 and began to figure what such a sale would save him in advertising, postage, office help, etc., 

 and the results would be that he would make you a very close price. Now we have that 

 very close price on one pound packages of bees, as is usual with us to chaige no profit on 

 supplies furnished subscribers of The Review, none will be charged upon those, but our 

 subscribers will get all the advantages of this good " buy." Notice that this close price is 

 not for a late fall delivery, but for April and May deliveries, later deliveries at a less price 

 will be quoted later, or by mail for the asking. Upon this deal we have two big points: 

 First the price, second, the old experienced breeder who has spent his life breeding bees 

 and queens for the market. We mention this so you will not get the idea into your heads 

 this is a " cheap John " lot of goods, but they are as good as money can buy. no matter what 

 price you pay. The price is $i6 for ten one-pound package of those combless bees, each 

 containing a young untested three-banded Italian queen. Additional pound packages with- 

 out queens, one $1.00 each. For larger lots ask for special price. They are shipped from
