CARNIOLANS 

 AND BANATS 



OUR SPECIALTIES 



Carniolans. — This 

 is our 24th year in 

 breeding this race 

 of bees; and by 

 careful selection we 

 claim to have the 

 finest "Line-bred" 

 Carniolans to be had. They are very gentle, hardy, 

 prolific, finely marked, great honey-gatherers, and 

 builders of white combs. 



Banats. — This new race of bees from Hungary, Aus- 

 tria, looks like the Carniolan, though darker in color; 

 are gc-ntle, hardy, great honey-gatherers, and builders 

 of white comb; do not breed out of season and use up 

 their honey when none is to be had; are not inclined 

 to swarm, even with their hives boiling over with 

 bees, but keep right at work while other races are 

 swarming. We consider this race of bees a model 

 one for producing fancy comb honey. 

 Mating yards miles apart. No foul brood here. 

 One untested queen, $1.00; select untested, $1.25; 

 tested, $2.00; select tested, $3.00; breeding queen, $3.50; 

 select breeding queen, $7.50; extra select breeding

Swarthmore's Pedigreed Goldens 



Swarthmore Apiaries, Swarthmore, Pa. 

 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-gathering, hardiness, gentleness, etc. 



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

 view, 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. 



Reduced prices: Untested queens, 75 cts. each; six. 

 $4.00; dozen, $7.50. Select untested, $1.00 each; six,
