 oolored Italians is what we rear 

 — 13 years' ejcpei-ieiice enables 

 us to furnisli Superior Stock. 



Humboldt, Neb., Aug. 5th, 1900. 

 Afr. H. G. Oiiirin. Dear Sir: — The colony contain- 

 ing the queen you sent rae has already stored over 400 

 lbs. of honey (mostly comb) for this season, and will 

 yet store quite a considerable before the season closes. 

 It would take 8100 to buy this queen. I have another 

 one from you which I think will turn out equally as 

 well. Bees from your queens certainly do work on 

 white clover, I can tell, as they are the only bees of 

 their kind in my locality. Hereafter when I want 

 more queens I shall know where to get thein. 



Yours truly. J. L- Gandy. 



At present we have two very valuable breeders 

 which will be used for the coming season. One is a 

 breeder from Root's S200.G0 red-clover queen. We are 

 now booking orders for April, May, and June delivery 

 at the following prices : 



Warranted Stock, $I.OO each ; 6, $5.00. 

 Tested Queens, $1.50 each ; 6, $8. OO. 

 Select Tested, $2.00 each ; 6, $I0.50. 



^X/l.|w. t-iri'f- let us book your order for one or half 

 TY ny llKJl, a dozen of these Superior Queens? 



We guarantee safe delivery. You take no risk. Re- 

 member queen-bees is our specialty in summertime.

 on Folding Cartons, and printed stationery. Parker- 

 town is a money-order office, .so please do not send 

 stamps if you can help it.

A Bear in the Apiary. 



I have just lost an entire api- 

 ary of 52 colonies by bear. I 

 had the very good fortune to kill 

 a very large one j\^M in the 

 midst of the wreckage. I have 

 a very good 5x8 picture of this 

 Bear, ifi the apiary he destroy- 

 ed. This is the greatest novelty 

 in the way of an apiarian view I 

 have ever seen. I will send you 

 one of these pictures for 35 cts. 

 postpaid, or as a premium for 

 each half dozen queens ordered. 



Don't forget that my specialty 

 is tne best qicee^ns frOiS the best 

 stock that it is possible to pro- 

 cure, and that my motto is 

 promptness. I also handle The 

 A. I. Root Co. 's supplies at their 

 prices, plus 55 cts. per 100 lbs. 

 to pay carload freight. Send 

 for price list.
