GET A GOOD QUEEN 



One that will keep the hive chock-full of bees at all times, make the biggest yields of 

 honey, stingless, and look the prettiest at a medium price. Over 25 years of select breeding 

 has brought our queens up to a standard surpassed by none and superior of many. We have 

 tried the principal races and every method known, and we have now selected the best of 

 both THE DOOLITTLE METHOD and the THREE-BAND BEES. Use the 3 Bands, 

 Why ? Because they get results. The foremost bee-men of the world use th'em. Our Queens 

 are sold by many of the largest dealers in the United States. 



Louis H. Scholl (one of the largest beekeepers of the Southwest) says; "Three-band 

 Italians have proven the best all-round purpose bee after trying out nearly every race, not 

 only in an experimental way while still at A. M. College, but in our own apiaries as well."—
