Missouri-Bred Queens! 



My strain of bers is the result of many 

 years' breeding and selection. I believe 

 they are equal to any. and surpassed by 

 none. They are long lived, winter well, 

 breed early, and are unexcelled honey get- 

 ters. The workers are long-bodied, good- 

 sized bees, uniformly marked with bands of 

 orange yellow. They are good comb-build- 

 ers, gentle and easy to handle, and yet pro- 

 tect their homes from robbers. You will 

 make no mistake in introducing these queens 

 into yourapiary. I guarantee safe delivery 

 at your post-ottice. and make a speciality of 

 long and difficult shipments. I endeavor to 

 keep a large supply of queens on hand.

Names ol Bee-Keepers Wanted — We 



desire very much to have the names and 

 addresses Oi 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 atid addresses of 

 their bee-keeping neighbors who do 

 not at present receive the American 

 Bee Journal.
