What Bees Do Headed By Our Queens 



" One swarm made 185 sections o^ honey and another 2g6 sections. I am well pleased." — Melvin Wysong. Kimmell. Ind. 



" Your bees averaged 150 pounds of surplus honey each 1 find them not only hustlers but cent le.'*— Fred H.MAY.Meredosia. 111. 



" I 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 Erie and e.xposed 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 insignificant 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 SQ 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.
