RED -CLOVER QUEENS! 



ESTABLISHED 1881. 



200 lbs. per colony is our record last season ; prin- 

 cipally from red clover. Will say that if any one 

 doubts our word, and if you come here and find that 

 our strain of bees don't work in red clover as well as 

 in white I will give you |100 down. No disease known 

 here. Ten years ago we bought an imported queen 

 from A. I. Root, and we queen our stock with her 

 The next year we found our bees worked red clover, 

 and so we call them red-clover queens. We use the 

 best queens that money and labor can procure. Our 

 trade has been doubling everv year the past ten years. 

 Prices: Untested queens, 81.00; dozen, SIO.UO. Tested, 

 $1.50. Breeding queens, 83.00 and up. We guarantee 

 safe delivery. All queens sent by return mail. Our 

 bees are beauties to look at ; gentle and prolific ; try 

 them. My money-order office is Guernsey. Address 



G. R. Routzahn, Menallen, Adams Co., Penn. 



HONEY QUEENS! 



Leather-colored Long=tongues.— I have a breeder 

 for which 825 has been offered and refused. You 

 make no mistake in buying her daughters. 

 They are dandies. 

 Qoldens. — The X,aws strain is as good as years of 

 patient selection and breeding can establish. 

 Holy Lands. — These are a deserving race of bees. 

 With two years' acquaintance I find them great 

 workers, with no vindictive traits, easily han- 

 dled, are becoming popular, especially in South. 

 The above races of bees are each bred in separate 

 apiaries, and you can get them in their purity. Am 

 filling all orders by return mail, and I sell at the fol- 

 lowing low prices, with the usual guarantees. Single 

 queen, unte.sted, 7oc; six for $4 00. Tested, 81.110; six 

 for $.5.00. Breeders, either race, S^-oO each. Address 



W. H. Laws, Beeville, Texas. 



If You Want to Secure 



a large crop of honey in 1902, stock your apiary with 

 daughters of Moore's 23-100 breeder. See ad. page 499. 



NOW READY. 



LONG-TONGUED QUEENS! 



YARD NO. 1. 



By special arrangements with THE A. I. ROOT 

 CO. to furnish them queens, I have secured their 

 assistance in procuringthe finest breeding queens 

 that a thorough knowledge of the bees of the 

 country and money can procure. Among them 

 is a select daughter of their $200 queen that they re- 

 fuse to quote me prices on. This queen shows every 

 superior quality of her mother. Her bees show 

 an actual reach of 21-100 of an inch ; are large, 

 gentle, and beautiful to look upon. 



MR. E. R. ROOT SA VS : "You have as fine 

 bees as there are in the United States ; and with 

 a direct cross of their breeders you should be 

 able to produce queens whose bees show a reach 

 of 2.5-100 of an inch."
