QUEENS of 



MOORE S STRAIN OF ITALIANS 



Produce workers that fill the supers, and are not inclined to swarm. 

 They have won a world-wide reputation for honey-gathering, 

 hardiness, gentleness, etc. 



Mr. W. Z. Hutchinson, editor of the Bee-keepers^ Revieiv. Flint, 

 Mich., says, "As workers, I have never seen them equaled. 

 They seem possessed of a steady, quiet determination that enables 

 them to lay up surplus ahead of others. Easier bees to handle I 

 have never seen." 



My queens are all bred from my best long-tongued three-banded 

 red-clover stock (no other race bred in my apiaries), and the cells 

 are built in strong colonies well supplied with young bees. 



Prices: Untested queens, $1.00 each; six, $5.00; doz., $9.00. 

 Select untested, $1.25 each; six, $6.00; doz., $11. Select tested, 

 $2.00. Extra select tested, $3.00. Breeders, $5.00 to $10.00.

W. H. Laws 



Is again on band for the com- 

 ing season with a larger stock 

 of queens than ever before. 

 He sold 400 queens to a New Mexico producer last 

 May who wrote, "Your stock is far ahead of those 

 Eastern queens I have been buying," and has placed 

 his order for 1000 more of the Law queens to be de- 

 livered in May and June coming. 



Others write that, if they had purchased all Laws 

 queens, their crop of honey would have been doubled. 

 Testimonials enough to fill this book. If you are go- 

 ing to improve your stook, had you not better investi- 

 gate?
