HIGHLAND FARM QUEENS 



are the result of years of careful selection and judicious breeding 

 from the best honey-gathering strains of superior long-tongue red- 

 clover Italians In America and Italy. Highland Farm methods will 

 produce perfectly developed, long-lived, and prolific queens. If you 

 want bees that will winter well, build up rapidly in the spring, and 

 roll in the honey. Highland Farm queens will produce them. We are 

 now booking orders wnich will be filled in regular rotation, beginning 

 May 15. You should get in line by placing your orders early, and avoid the rush of the busy season. Single 

 queens, $1.00: 6, $5.00; 12, $9.00. Safe delivery and satisfaction guaranteed.

CRAY CAUCASIAN QUEENS 



igo^-igo6 Queen-breeder in Apiary of Dept. of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. 

 During that time Caucasians were being distributed by the department so that I handled many 

 of the imported queens and bred much of the stock which other breeders are using, and am in 

 a position to furnish the best of Caucasian queens. They are hardy and prolific, but not great 

 swarmers; are builders of white combs, great honey-gatherers, and their extreme gentleness 

 has won for them the name "STINGLESS. " Queens are reared from imported mother of 

 gray type. Have three-band or leather-colored Italians also. They are hustlers.
