DR. MILLER'S ! 



HoneyQueens I 



One Untested Queen Free as a Ppemium 



for sending ONE New Subseribep 



to the American Bee Journal 



for one year. 



We have been fortunate in making- an 

 arrangement with DR. C. C. MILIvER— the 

 well-known honey-specialist — to rear queens 



^ EXCLUSIVELY FOR US DURING THE 



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



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



^ book orders now. 



3 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 



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



rS 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 S 



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



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



9 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. 



X The demand nowadays is for BEES THAT GET THE HONEY 



9 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 



^ pure Italian. 



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



iS thru us, according to our agreement. 



X 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. 



.S mii^lek's untbstbd honey-queens free as a premium. This offer 



^ is made ofi/y to our present regular subscribers. Orders for queens 



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



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



.S 118 Michigan Street, CHICAGO, ILL.
