Names of Bee-Keepers Wanted We 



desire very rhuch to have the names and 

 addresses of all the . bee-keepers who 

 are in your locality who do not now 

 take the American Bee Journal. We 

 would like to get every one of them on 

 our list of regular readers. If you will 

 send to this office the names and ad- 

 dresses of such bee-keepers, we will be 

 pleased to mail each a sample copy of 

 the American Bee Journal. Perhaps 

 you could send in their subscriptions, 

 and thus earn some of the various pre- 

 miums that we offer from time to time 

 for getting new subscriptions. We feel 

 that every bee-keeper ought to read the 

 American Bee Journal regularly. He 

 would not only be more successful, 

 but would be less of a competitor of 

 his neighbor bee-keepers, if he were 

 more enlightened on the subject of 

 bees and honey. We would appreciate 

 it very much if all who can do so will 

 send us the names and addresses of 

 their bee-keeping neighbors who do 

 not at present receive the American 

 Bee Journal. 



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 

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

 about them : 



George W. York & Cti,;— The two queens received of you some 

 time ag-o are fine They are good breeders, and the workers are 

 showing up fine I introduced them among black bees, and the bees 

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



Nemaha Co , Kan , July 15. A. W. Swax. 



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

 have sent me the best She keeps 9 1-2 Langstrolh frames fully oc 

 cupied to dale, and. although I kept the hive well contracted, to force 

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

 100 pounds of honey If the flow lasts this week. 



Ontario. Canada July 22 Chas. Mitchell 



George W. York & Co. :— The queen I bought of you has proven a 

 good one, and has given me some of the best colonies. 



Washington Co., Va., July 22. N. P. Oglbsbt. 



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 10 work nicely. I 

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

 My father, who is an old bee keeper, pronoiince<l 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."

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

 troducing are sent with each Queen, being printed on the
