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, $L00 each; six, 

 $5.00; dozen, $9.00. 



I am now sending queens by return mail. ^ 



Safe arrival and satisfaction guaranteed. Descriptive 

 circular free. Address

SWARMING PREVENTED 



A new method, just published, worthy of investiga- 

 tion by all progressive bee-keepers. Advantages claim- 

 ed for the plan of treatment: No clipping of queens' 

 wings; no caging of queens; not even necessary to 

 look for queens; no searching for nor pinching of 

 queen-cells; the bees do the pinching act; no shook 

 swarming ; no dividing; no sulking ; no swarming 

 out; no extra expense connected with the plan; treat- 

 ment extremely simple, and easy to carry out; saves 

 time and labor; last, but not least, a satisfactory hon- 

 ey crop secured. 



Send to Dr.H. Jones, Preston. Minn., for his book- 

 let describing his method of treatment. Price 25 cts.
