Queens of 



Moore's Strain of Italians 



Produce workers that fill the supers, and are not in- 

 clined to swarm. They have won a world-wide repu- 

 tation for honey-tratherinK, hardiness, gentleness, etc. 



Mr. W. Z. Hutchinson, editor of the Bee-kee pers ' Re- 

 view. Flint, Mich., says, "As workers, I have never seen 

 them equaled. They seem possessed of a steady, quiet 

 determination that enables theni to lay up surplus 

 ahead of others. Easier bees to handle I have never 

 seen." My queens are all bred from my best lontr- 

 tontrued three-banded red-clover stock' no other race 

 bred in my apiaries', and the cells are built in strong 

 colonies well supplied with younc bees.

 Fine well-btcd queens are his specialty; and in all the queens 

 mailed during the past 18 years there is nota displeased customer 

 that 1 know of. On the other hand, letters of praise come from 

 every source. Mr. Wm. Hughes, of Washington, D. C, writes 

 that he has been handling queens for the past twenty years, and 

 he has never found any that equal or please him so well as the 

 two dozen he bought of me last season. I can and do mail 

 queens every month in the year, California and Cuba taking over 

 100 in the past month of December. I will mail queens from 

 now on at the one price of $1.00 each or 6 tor $5.00. Breeding
