A Standard-Bred Italian (Jneen-Bee Free ! 



For Sending One New Subscriber. 



As has been our custom heretofore we offer to mail a fine, Un- 

 tested Italian Queen to the person who complies with the follow- 

 ing conditions, all of which must be strictly followed; 



1. The sender of a new subscriber must have his or her own 

 subsc.'iption paid in advance at least to the end of this year 



2. Sending your own name with the $1.00 for the Bee Journal 

 will not entitle you to a Queen as a premium. The sender must 

 be already a paid-in-advance subscriber as above, and the new sub- 

 scriber must be a NEW subscriber; which means, further, that 

 the new subscriber has never had the Bee Journal regularly, or at 

 least not for a whole year previous to his name being sent in as a 



new one; and, also, the new subscriber must not be a member of the same family where 

 the Bee'Journal is already being taken. 



We think we have made the foregoing sufficiently plain so that no error need be 

 made. Our Premium Queens are too valuable to throw away — they must be earned in 

 a legitimate way. They are worth working for. 



We will book the orders as they come in and the Queens will be mailea 

 Will you have one or more? 



It you cannot get a new subscriber, and want one of these Queens, we will send tne 

 American Bee Journal a year and the Queen — both for only $1.50. Address,

may have had something to do with the 

 dwindling of the one colony. It probably 

 suffered also for want of ventilation, as shown 

 by the dampness while other colonies were 

 dry. Possibly its being nearer the ground 

 had also some effect. The flight March 5 was 

 hardly to blame. 



The early appearance of drones is no more 

 than a mark of prosperity, and also a result 

 of the fact that the season was earlier than 

 usual, notwithstanding the fact that there 

 has been so much backward weather since the 

 opening of spring that the season is now no 

 earlier than usual. 



You should not wait 8 days till after the is- 

 sue of the prime swarm before moving the 

 old colony to a new location, for usually the 

 second swarm issues at about that time. 

 About a week is long enough, and that's too 

 long if the prime swarm has been delayed as 

 to issuing by bad weather. 



I don't know whether the virgin queen you 

 returned was killer or killed. There was a 

 tight to the finish among all the queens pres- 

 ent, and the strongest remained victor.
