QUEENS of 



MOORE'S STRAIN OF ITALIANS 



Produce workers that lill 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 Bcc-keepers' Re-jieiv. 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,

W. H. Laws 



says that, while his trade is very sat- 

 isfactory, and about as large as he can 

 handle, yet he does not want you 

 who are new to him to forget that the very best of honey gath- 

 erers and a square deal is what you will always get when you 

 buy Laws queens. 



You should try his strain of Red-clover Long-tongue Italians, 

 one firm alone having bought over 3000 of the Laws queens in 

 the past six years; and more than half the queens sold this sea- 

 son are sent to customers who have bought in former years. A 

 long string of testimonials testify to their merits, and you will 

 make no mistake in buying Laws queens. 



Single queens, $1.00; 6 for $5.00. Some very fine breeding 

 queens on hand. Safe delivery and satisfaction guaranteed at 

 $5.00 each. Address
