Missouri-Bred Queens! 



My strain of bees is the result of many 

 years' breeding and selection. 1 believe 

 they are equal to any. and surpassed tiy 

 none. They are long lived, winter well. 

 breed early, and are unexcelled lioney get- 

 ters. The workers are longbodied. 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. V ou will 

 make no mistake in introducing these queens 

 into yourapiary. I guarantee safe delivery 

 at your post-office, and make a speciality of 

 long and difficult shipments. I endeavor to 

 keep a large supply of queens on hand.
