DR. MILLER'S ^ 



HoneyQueens I 



One Untested Queen Free as a Ppemium ^; 



fop sending- ONE New Subseriber ^ 



to the American Bee Journal ^ 



for one year. ^; 



We have been fortunate in making- an ^• 



arrangement -with DR. C. C. MILLER— the 5^ 



well-known honev-specialist — to rear queens ^■ 



EXCLUSIVELY "FOR US DURING THE ^ 



S SEASON OF 1900. These Queens will be mailed in rotation, begin- 5^ 



S ning about June 1, so " first come first served. " We are read}' to ^; 



^ book orders now. ^' 



* The Queens Dr. Miller will send out on our orders will be pre- ^ 

 S cisely the same as those he rears for his own use, so of course they ^ 

 ^ will be from his best stock. His best colony in 1899 had a queen ^; 

 5 reared in 1898 ; May S, 1899, it had brood in 4 frames, and he gave it 5^ 

 S at that time a frame of brood without bees. It had no other help, ^; 

 ^ but May 25 a frame of brood with adhering bees was taken from it, ^■ 

 9 and the same thing was repeated June 3, leaving it at that time 5 5^ 

 S frames of brood. It stored 178 sections of honej', weighing 159 ^; 

 ^ pounds (and that after July 20, in a poor season), being 2;3 times the ^; 

 5 average yield of all his colonies. A point of importance is the fact ^^ 

 S this colony did not swarm, and an inspection every week or 10 days ^ 

 ^ showed that at no time during the entire season was there even so ^[ 

 9 much as an egg in a queen-cell. Dr. Miller expects to rear queens ^■ 

 .S from this one during the coming summer. ^ 

 ^ The demand nowadays is for BEES THAT GET THE HONEY «; 



• when there is any to get, and Dr. Miller has such bees. You will 5^ 

 ^ want to have a queen from his best, we are sure, even if she is not ^ 

 ^ pure Italian. ^| 

 5 Do not send any orders to Dr. Miller, as all orders MUST come, 5^ 

 .S thru us, according to our agreement. ^ 

 ^ Remember, send us $1.00 for ONE NEW SUBSCRIBER to the ^; 

 5 American Bee Journal for one year, and YOU will get one of dr. 5^ 

 iS miller's untested honey-queens free as a premium. This offer ^ 

 ^ is made only to our present regular subscribers. Orders for queens ^' 

 ■5 to be filled in rotation, beg-iniiing about June 1st. ^ 



^ Address all orders to GEORGE W. YORK & CO., ^.
