Untested Italian Queen-Bees

6 Queens for $4.00 ; 3 for $2.10 ; 

 1 for 75 cents. 



For a number of years we have been sending out to 

 bee-keepers e.xceptionally fine Untested Italian Queens, 

 purely mated, and all right in every respect. Here is 

 what a few of those who received our Queens have to say 

 about them : 



George W. Yoke &, Co. :— The two cjueens received of you some 

 time ago are fine They are good breeders, and the workers are 

 showing up fine I Introduced them among black bees, and the bee& 

 are nearly yellow now, and are doing good work, 



Nemaha Co . Kan , July 15. A. W. Swax. 



George W. York & Co.;— After importing queens for 15 years you 

 have sent me the best She keeps 9 1-2 Langstroth frames fully oc- 

 cupied to date, and. although I kept the hive well contracted, to force 

 them to swarm, they have never built a queea-cell, and will put up 

 lUU pounds of honey If the flow lasts this week, 



Ontario. Canada July 22. Chas. Mitchell 



Georoe W. York & Co. ;— The queen I bought of you has proven a 

 good one, and has given me some of the best colonies. 



Washington Co., Va., July 22. N. P. Oglesby. 



George W York & Co.;— The queen I received of you a few days 

 agro came through O. K . and I want to say that she Is a beauty. I Im- 

 mediately Introduced her Into a colony which had been queenless for 

 20 days. She was accepted by them, and has gone to work nicely. I 

 am highly pleased with her and your promptness In filling my order. 

 My father, who Is an old bee keeper, pronounced her very fine. You 

 will hear from me again when I am in need of something In the bee 

 line. E. E. McColm. 



Marion Co., Ill,, July 18, 



We usually begin mailing Queens in May, and con- 

 tinue thereafter on the plan of " first come first served." 

 The price of one of our Untested Queens alone is 75 

 cents, or with the old American Bee Journal for one 

 year — both for $1.40. Three Queens (without Journal) 

 would be $2,10, or 6 for $4.00. Full instructions for in- 

 troducing are sent with each Queen, being printed on the 

 underside of the address-card on the mailing-cage. You 

 cannot do better than to get one or more of our fine 

 Standard-Bred Queens,
