Golden Italian Bees 



"Buttercup Strain" 



Queens, Nuclei, and Full Colonies. 



I have kept and studied Bees for 5it 

 years. Have bought Queens for the 

 improvement of stock from the most 

 noted breeders from Langstroth down 

 to the present day. 



My foundation stock (from which 

 my improved " ISuttercup " strain was 

 evolved) was originally from Alley and 

 Pratt (Swarthmore). 



They are very gentle, very handsome, 

 very hardy, and great hustlers. I win- 

 tered 75 colonies on the simimer 

 stands last winter — the hardest on 

 record. 



Made more honey per colony last 

 (very poor) season than ever before. 

 Have no trace of disease. 



This season I shall propagate and 

 offer for sale after June 1st as follows:

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 : 



Georoe W. York .t Co.:— The two riueens received of you some 

 time aeo are fine They are eood hreeders. and the workers are 

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

 are nearly yellow now, and are doing: B:ood work.

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

 them to swarm, they have never built a queen-cell, and will nut UD

 mediately introduced her Into a colony which had been rnieenless for 

 20 days^ She was accepted by them, and has gone to work nicely. 1

 My father, who Is an old bee keeper, pronounced her very fine Yoii

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..30. 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.
