BEE NOTES. 



August is the month to get the stocks 

 in good condition tor winter. The 

 bees that are reared this month and 

 in September are the ones that go 

 through the winter. Examine your col- 

 onies, and if any have inferior ([ueens 

 re(]ueen at once. 



No doubt there are some localities 

 where there has not been sufficient for- 

 age to keep the bees in a prosperous 

 condition as to brood-rearing. A little 

 sugar syrup fed occasionally will act 

 as a stimulant and keep up brood-rear- 

 ing so that when the fall harvest comes 

 on, the colonies will be strong enough 

 to gather sufficient stores for winter. 



If bees are to be made a success 

 they should not be allowed to he in a 

 tlormant condition at any time during 

 the warm months. Keep them rearing 

 brood all the time l)y feeding a little. 



If you do not feel able to invest in 

 the Punic bees, send and get some of 

 the golden Carniolan. If these bees 

 do not give perfect satisfaction, other 

 (luecns will be sent, or money refunded. 

 Just two (2) dollars will get a select 

 golden Carniolan cpieen and the Api 

 one year. 



A good many of our Carniolan bees 

 have but one yellow band, but that one 

 band covers nearly the entire length of 

 the body. The bees in color are al- 

 most a solid golden yellow. This one 

 band is wider and covers more of the 

 body of the bee than all five of the 

 bands of the 5 -banded Italian. 



A sample of these bees will be mailed 

 to any address on receipt of ten cents 

 If they are not as yellow as above sta- 

 ted, we will forfeit $1.00 to each person 

 who sends ten cents for a specimen. 



This fact of the wide bands should 

 convince anyone that the yellow Car- 

 niolan bees are a new and distinct 

 strain, as no other l)ees in the world 



HOW IS THIS FRANK B. ? 



Mr. Ai.lky : My experience with the 

 Carniolan bees is somewhat in line with 

 yours. My breeding (pieen was pur- 

 chased from Frank IJenton, and he sent 

 me a queen whose progeny was to show 

 no yellow bands. Her bees are of a 

 steel gray, but I have not reared a sin- 

 gle queen that does not produce bees 

 with yellow on them.

Yourc'xperieiico Is the same as every per- 

 son wh ) li.i> Ivied to rear CaruioLin bees 

 ill Aineriea. A few of tiie queens sent 

 here do not produce l)ees with any yellow 

 l):nids. Ijut the ijroyeny of ail the young 

 queens do. 1 1. talics l)aci<. Mr. F. B. will 

 tfU yon all tlic yonny- ([ueens mate with 

 yellow drones. They do not; yellow is 

 tlie natural color of the Carniolans.- Kd.] 



QUEEN nOING NICELY. 



Mr. Alley : The queen you sent me 

 in June has all the combs of her hive 

 filled with brood of her own, and the 

 bees are doing nicely.

THEY REATTIIK BKST ITALIAN. 



Mr. E. L. Pratt : The golden Car- 

 niolans I purchased of you last season 

 have done better with me this year than 

 my best Italians.

WE DO IT evb;rytimb. 



Friend Alley : If you send all your 

 subscribers who accept of your offer 

 such large and beautiful yellow queens 

 like the ones you sent me, they surely 

 will all l)e pleased. I am well pleased 

 with the way all three of my queens 

 went to filling up the brood-nest with 

 eggs. I have every indication they 

 will be very prolific.
