 »^ SURPLUS 



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

 honey, stingless, and look the prettiest at a medium price. Over 23 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 them. 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."—

QUEENS OF QUALITY 



Capacity of my yards over 1000 Queens a month 



After 20 years of careful selection and breeding. I now have a strain of bees that 

 cannot be excelled by any. My queens are all bred from IMPORTED STOCK, the very 

 best in the world for honey gathering and gentleness. They are not given to swarming. 

 What more do you want in bees than the three above qualities ? 



GUARANTEE 



You take no risk in buying my queens, for I guarantee every queen to reach you in 

 first-class condition, to be purely mated and to give perfect satisfaction. All queens 

 that do not give satisfaction I will replace. Send for circular.
