NOW IS THE TIME TO REQUEEN 



Now is the time to get ready for 

 next year. If you are just taking off a 

 big crop of honey, your queens will be 

 more or less worn out by their enormous 

 egg production, and will profit by being 

 replaced in many instances. 



Possibly you look for a big crop next 

 year. Now is is the time, then, to weed 

 out your poor stock, your black stock, or 

 your older queens. You should have 

 young and vigoi'ous queens to start the 

 season next year. 



Under any circumstances, weed out 

 your poor stock. 



We are in a position to furnish pure 

 stock, either leather colored, three-band, 

 or golden, as you prefer, in very short 

 order and at reasonable prices, and guar- 

 tee safe arrival and pure stock. 



Our prices for the balance of the 

 season are as follows :
