" There are few queens their equal and yione better" 



What Bees Do Headed By Our Queens 



" One swarm made 185 sections of honey and another 206 sections. I am well pleased." — Melvin WysONG, Kimmell. Ind. 

 " Your bees a\ eraged 150 pounds of surplus honey each 1 find them not only hustlers but gentle."— Fred H.MAY.Meredosia, III . 

 ■■ 1 have tried queens from several different places and like yours best of all."— C. O. Board. Alabama, N. Y. 

 " We are only one mile from Lake Krie and exposed to high cold winds; in fact, this is the windiest place along the great lakes. 

 Your bees were able to stand the winter with only an insigniticant loss, and we would have no others As for honey they averaged 

 175 pounds of extracted surplus, did not swarm, and gave an artificial increase of 30 percent, which is as fine a record as can be had 

 in this locality, especially when the work is done entirely by amateurs." Name furnished on request. North East, Pa.
