THE AMERICAN APICULTURIST. 



A SPLENDID BRKEDINC; Q('EEN\ 



Friend Alley : The queen I received 

 from you last fall is a splendid breeding 

 queen. Her bees are beauties and as 

 gentle as can be. I use no smoke nor 

 veil when I handle them, I wish all my 

 bees were like them.

LIVELY AND BRICIIT. 



Mr. Alley : The two golden Car- 

 niolan queens were received in fine 

 condition, as bright and lively as the 

 day they lefi the hive. They are beau- 

 ties.

BEST QUEEN IN CLINTON COUNTV. 



Mr. Alley : Two years ago I pur- 

 chased an Italian queen from you for 

 $\. Was well pleased, and she was 

 considered the finest queen in this 

 country. We want two more queens.

 order. I peeped into the cage and find 

 she is a beauty and I am delighted with 

 her appearance.

IIIEY ADMIRE THE ALLEY QUEEN. 



Henry Alley : The second queen 

 arrived a week ago to-day and in good 

 condition. The double cag^ seems to 

 have made the difference. Several of 

 my friends, one an experienced bee- 

 keeper, have had occasion to admire 

 the fine Allev queen.

UNQUALIFIED RECOMMENDATION. 



Henry Alley : I can give my un- 

 qualified recommendation to your drone- 

 and-queen trap, having used them in 

 my apiary this season with success.

IT WORKS SUCCESSFULLY. 



The self hiver I got of you works 

 successfully.

PRACTICALLY NON-STINGING. 



'I he golden Carniolan bees are prac- 

 tically non- stinging. Beekeepers who 

 are badly affected by stings should in- 

 troduce these bees into their apiaries. 



THAT IS OUR OPINION. 



Mr Alley : The queens you sent me 

 last are the best queens that ever came 

 into this neighborhood. 



Industry, Pa. CoL. R. Walton. 



NOT AFRAID OF THE GOLDEN CARNIOLANS. 



Mr. H. Alley: The two golden Car- 

 niolan queens received to-day, and not 

 a dead bee in either cage. Please ac- 

 cept thanks. Find cash enclosed for 

 one dozen more.

Henry Alley, Esq. : Eleven of the 

 twelve (peens received from you last 

 were fine. One proved to be mismaled. 

 Find cash for another dozen.

THE BEST BEK-PAPER. 



Please send me sample copy of the 

 Api, also price-list of queens if you are 

 still in the business. I am thinking of 

 t iking some bee journal and am told 

 yours is the best.
