 1 for 75 cents. 



For a number of years we have been sending out to 

 bee-keepers exceptionally 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.York & Co.:— The two queens received of you some 

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

 showint? up tine I Introduced them among black bees, and the bees 

 are nearly yellow now, and are doing good work. 



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



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 queen-cell, and will put up 

 100 pounds of honey if the flow lasts this week. 



Ontario. Canada July 22 Chas. Mitchell 



George 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. Oglesbt. 



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

 ago 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 

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

 line. E. E. McColm. 



Marlon Co., 111., July 13. 



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.
