Can't Do Without the Bee Journal. 



Messks. George W. York & Co. 



Gentlemen: — Enclosed you will find my re- 

 newal for another year to the "Old Keliable." 

 I simply cannot do without your paper, and I 

 believe if I could not get it I would certainly 

 have to give up keeping bees, so closely is it 

 linked with my bee-keeping life. You can 

 certainly count on me for life, as I get more 

 pleasure and profit out of a single number of 

 your paper than a whole year costs.

For a number of years we have been sending out to 

 bee-keepers exceptionally fine Untested Italian Queens, 

 purely mated, and all right in every respect. Here is 

 vvlTat a few of those who received our Queens have to say 

 about them : 



CiEOnGE W. York & Co.;— The two queens received of you some 

 time ag"o are line They are grood breeders, and the woriters are 

 showing- up tine I introduced them among- black bees, and the bees 

 are nearly yellow now. and are doing: good work. 



Nemaha Co , Kan , July 15. .\. W. .Swan. 



George W. York & Co :— .\fter importing: queens for 15 years you 

 have sent me the best She keeps It 1-3 Langstrolh frames fully oc 

 cupled to date, and. although I kept the hive well contracted, to force 

 them to swarm, they have never built a queen-cell, and will put up 

 lUO pounds of honey if the flow lasts this week.

Georoe W. York &. Co.:— The queen I bought of you has prove»i a 

 g-ood one. and has given me some of the best colonies. 



Washington Co., Va., July 23. N. P. Oglesby. 



George W York &. Co. :— The queen I received of you a few days 

 ago came through O. K . and I want to say that she is a beauty. I im- 

 mediately introduced her into a colony which had been queenless for 

 20 days. She was accepted by them, and has gone lo work nicely. I 

 am highly pleased with her and your promptness in tilling my order. 

 My father, who is an old bee keeper, pronounced her very fine. You 

 will hear from me again when I am in need of something In the bee 

 line. E. E. McColm.

We usually begin mailing Queens in May, and con- 

 tinue thereafter on the plan of " first come first served." 

 The price of one of our Untested Queens alone is 90 

 cents, or with the old American Bee Journal for one 

 year — both for $1.60. Three Queens (without Journal) 

 would be $2..j0. or 6 for $4.50. Full instructions for in- 

 troducing are sent with each Queen, being printed on the 

 underside of the address-card on the mailing-cage. You 

 cannot do better than to get one or more of our fine 



Standard-Bred Queens.
