GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



\A/. M. 



Is now mailing queens every day except Sun- 

 day. These queens are going to almost every 

 State in the Union. A statement in public 

 print says, "The postofflce at Beeville has 

 probably cancelled more stamps on queen- 

 cages than any other postofflce in the world." 

 Whether this is true or not, it is true that 

 Laws' queens are giving eminent satisfaction, 

 and old customers are continually renewing 

 their orders. 



I am breeding: but the one strain of three-banded 

 Red-elovt-r Stock Italians. A square deal and g:ood 

 queens are all that I can promise. I shall be pleased to 

 have your order, which will be filled in rotation; how- 

 ever, I can also take care f>f rush orders. 



Prices: Singrle queen, $1.00; six for $5.00; 100, $76.00.

We sent fifty nuclei to J. D. Nixon, Lafarge, 

 Wis., and on July 20th (same year) he wrote 

 us saying they did just splendid, as at that 

 writing they had already filled their supers, 

 and that he would have to extract them. We 

 have files of testimonials similar to the above.
