Red Glover Queens. 70^ 



Warranted Purely Mated. 

 The Long--Tong"ue Variety. 



How to get One for Only 30 cts. 



We have arranged with the queen-breeder who furnished Long-Tong-ue 

 Red Clover Queens for us during the past season, to fill our orders next sea- 

 son. Although fully 95 percent of the untested queens he sent out were 

 purely mated, next season all he mails for us will be warranted purely mated. 



We want every one of the readers of Gleanings in Bee-Culture, who is 

 not now a reader of the old weekly American Bee Journal, to have one of 

 these Superior Red Clover Queens. We have received most excellent reports 

 from the Queens we supplied during the past season. And next year our 

 breeder says he expects to be able to send out even better Queens, if that is 

 possible. He is one of the very oldest and best queen-breeders. His bees 

 average quite a good deal the longest tongues of any yet measured. The 

 Breeder he will use is direct from Italy, having imported her himself. Her 

 worker-bees are large, of beautiful color, very gentle, scarcely requiring veil 

 or smoker. 



Orders for these fine, "long-reach " warranted Queens will be filled in 

 rotation — " first come, first served " — beginning as early in June, 1902, as 

 possible. It is expected that orders can be filled quite promptly (even better 

 than the past season), as a much larger number of queen-rearing nuclei will 

 be run. (But never remove the old queen from the colony until you receive 

 the new queen, no matter from whom you order). 



In order that all who are not now readers of the American Bee Journal 

 can have one of these fine Queens, we will make the price only 30 cents 

 each, when taken in connection with a year's subscription. That is, send us 

 $1.30 (if you are a NEW subscriber), and we will book your order for a War- 

 ranted Queen, and enter your name on our list of subscribers and send you 

 the Bee Journal every week from the time we receive your name and $1.30 

 until the end of next year (1902). So the sooner you send in your order the 

 more copies of the Bee Journal you will receive. If you have not seen the 

 weekly American Bee Journal, send for a free sample copy. Address,
