 their studios for exhibition in the handsome 

 art galleries of the Minneapolis, Minn., Ex-

 best of other features provided, this season's

A Mystery Explained. 



Chicago, Ills.— Mr. Alley : Do you keep 

 Black and Italian bees in the same apiary ? 

 If so, how do you keep the Italians pure ? 



R G. COLBCRN. 



Reply ;— Yes : we keep Black, Carniolan 

 and Italian bees in the same apiary. The 

 Italians are kept pure by placing the Alley 

 Drone-andQueen Trap on all hives but one 

 containing a select breeding queen. We do 

 not even allow the drones to Hy from all our 

 pure Italian colonies No helter-skelter mating 

 of queens is permitted in our apiary. No 

 dealer can send out all purely-mated queens 

 who does allow it even in an apiary where 

 all the colonies are supposed to be pure 

 Italians. We are credited with sending out 

 the best queens of any dealer, and can only 

 keep up that reputation by using the Drone- 

 and-Queen trap. 



Try one of our S3 Select Tested Italian 

 queens. Select warranted queens, $1.25 : 

 warranted queens. $1.00 ; tested, $1.50. The 

 AmericO'H ApicuUurist one year and select 

 queen, $1.50. Send for sample copy
