QUEENS, QUEENS 



Old Standbys. — The A. I. Root Co., to whom we 

 have sold queens for many years, wrote us last May, 

 thus: "Are you running low on queens? We hope 

 not, as you seem to be our standbys. Send us 24 pet 

 week instead of 12, till further orders." 



Beat Any Thing He ever Saw. — The Cyprian queens 

 vou sent me last year beat any thing I ever saw rear- 

 ing brood and filling their hives with honey. — J. Niel- 

 son, Huntington, Utah, Sept. 4, 1901. 



Is Great. — The nucleus jou sent me last fall is great 

 — the finest queen that ever crossed the plains. 

 Please duplicate lier this time. Mr. Jordan says the 

 nucleus vou sent him cast two fine swarms. — G. R. 

 Warren, Fruitvale, Cal., May 12, 1901. 



$50 Queens. — My rice q\ieen that you sent me, and 

 I put in a liive with a handful of bees on the 6th day 

 of last June, has now nearly filled her30-lb. super foi 

 the third time. No man's joO.dO bill could take her. 

 Please send me another one like her as soon as possi- 

 ble, and keep a dozen ready for me like her for the 

 20th of April next, and I will tnake you a nice present.
