DR. MILLER'S |: 



HoneyQueens | 



One Untested Queen Free as a Premium ^: 



for sending ONE New Subscriber S^ 



to the American Bee Journal ^ 



for one year. ^'. 



We have been fortunate in making^ an ^' 



arrang-ement with DR. C. C. MILLER— the ^ 



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



^ EXCLUSIVELY FOR US DURING THE ^■ 



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



:^ ning about June 1, so " first come first served." We are ready to ^ 



[^ book orders now. ^[ 



^5 The Queens Dr. Miller will send out on our orders will be pre- ^ 



:^ 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 ^; 



'^ reared in 1898; May 5, 1899, it had brood in 4 frames, and he g-ave it ^ 



US 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, ^; 



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



:.S frames of brood. It stored 178 sections of honey, weighing 159 ^ 



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



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



:.£ this colony did not swarm, and an inspection every week or 10 days ^ 



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



^5 much as an egg in a queen-cell. Dr. Miller expects to rear queens 5- 



vS 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 ^ 



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



1^ pure Italian. ^\ 



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



:.S thru us, according to our agreement. ^ 



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



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



:.S miIvLKr'S untested honey-queens free as a premium. This offer ^ 



i^ is made owAc to our present regular subscribers. Orders for queens ^| 



^5 to be filled in rotation, beginning about June 1st. ^
