N. B.— It will be noted that every fresh Queen imported, or one selected from the above Pedfgree strain, is grad- 

 ually worked into the existing combination 6y means of the MALE succession; and, though it is impossible to name 

 individual Drones, we effect the desired object by naming the parent of the selected Drone breeders. We know 

 exactly what Drones our Queens mate with, by rearing from one Queen only each year.
