TWENTY YEARS 



OF 



Careful Breeding 



In regard to the origin of 

 my strain of Italians. I would 

 say that they were developed 

 bv selection and crossins. 

 The first Italian queen that I 

 ever possessed was of the 

 Thos G. Newman stock. The 

 next was of A. I. Root's red- 

 clover stock: purchased in 

 1881 In 1882. 1 purchased one 

 of friend Root's hest imported 

 queens, for which T paid 

 $6 00. She was a valuable 

 queen, indeed; producing 

 workers which were hardy 

 and regular hustlers for 

 gathering honey. I stocked 

 my apiary with her daugh- 

 ters, saving onlv a few queens 

 of the other stock to furnish 

 drones. This gave me a di- 

 rect cross, which, I think, is 

 the secret of my success. 



In 1R83 I found one of the 

 danehters of the Root import- 

 ed queen far out-stripping 

 everything in the vard in the 

 way of honey-gathering and 

 comb-building: and her bees 

 capped their honey so white 

 that it made it appear the 

 most beautiful comb honev I 

 ever saw In this queen I had 

 an acquisition. I used her as 

 a breeding queen. Her bees 

 were not as handsome as the 

 Newman stock: but beautiful 

 HONEY attracted mv eye and 

 pocketbook more than fancy 

 bees. 



If von wish for a strain of 

 bees that are really "Suner- 

 ior," and at a much lower 

 orice than sold by Mr. Hutch- 

 inson, send for the handsom- 

 est queen circular that was 

 ever printed.
