IMPROVED 



QUEENS! 



We can till orders for fine tested 

 Queens, mostly reared and tested 

 in the 



American Bee Journal 



Our Queen Mothers are the best 

 to be had in the United States, and 

 the Queen-cells are all started in 

 full colonies. 



We are very careful in the selec- 

 tion of our breeding stock, and 

 great care is taken in the propaga- 

 tion and culture of large, yellow 

 drones. We do not rear dollar 

 <}ueens. If a young Queen does not test A No. 1, she 

 is not worth paying express charges on, and we would 

 rather destroy her than disseminate poor stock. Fall 

 is the best time to Italianize colonies, and the best 

 •Queens are most profitable. Address.
