THE TRUE TEST! 



of a strain of bees is the amount of honey they gather 

 under like conditions, compared with others. Mr. D. 

 R. Keys, Dixie, Ga., an old tiee keeper, writes: "That 

 queen from you is simply splendid; has shown no dis- 

 position to swarm. Her bees have filled three supers 

 of K sections each, capped snow-7vhiie, while the 

 average is not one super so far. — June 6, 1901." See 

 back ads. and write for circular, fiee. I have care- 

 fully selected the best queens for breeders for years, 

 and culled out the poor ones. My stock is a five-band

LONG-TONGUED QUEENS! 



YARD NO. I. 



By special arrangements with THE A. I. ROOT 

 CO. to furnish them queens, I have secured their 

 assistance in procuring the 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 Y'S : " 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 25-100 of an inch."

HONEY QUEENS! 



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

 for which 825 has been offered and refused. You 

 make no mistake in liuying her daughters. 

 They are dandies. 

 Qoldens.— The Laws 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, untested, 75c; six for $4 00 Tested, 81.00; six 

 for $.5.00. Breeders, either race, $2. .50 each. Address 



W. H. Laws, Beeville, Texas.

 queens. 81.00; tested, 81.2.5; full colonies, 84.00:
