Queens you sDoiild Have 



Does blood tell in other stock ? Give 

 your bees a chance. Stock used for 

 breeding" the queens offered — not from 

 a sport, but my pick out of an apiary 

 g-iving last season an average yield as 

 follows : 

 Honey-Gathering. 



102 lbs. extracted and 63 lbs. comb honey per 

 colony besides increase and stores for winter. 



Quality of Comb-Honey Produced. 



'*MauI It would dazzle you. "^Wra. Envoy, 

 Ontario Goverumeut Inspector of Apiaries. 



Wintering Qualities. 



Up to the present (January 30i I never found 

 these bees to show the least indication of unrest 

 —always perfectly quiet. They are wintering^ 

 perfectly.— Frank T. Adams, Brantford, Can- 

 ada. 

 General Commendation. 



Out of those queens you sent me I have pro- 

 duced the best race or strain of bees I ever 

 owned. Remember that is saying a lot, as I 

 have tried every breed imported in this country. 

 The bees winter better, build up, and stand cold 

 chilly winds in spring better, and are more suit- 

 able than any bees I ever owned. For the sea- 

 son they gave me about double the honey the 

 pure Italians did, and more increase. Glad you 

 are going into the qneeu-business, and are going 

 to juin the ranks again. We are much in want 

 of a few men like you. C. W. Post, Ex-president 

 Ontario Bee-keepers* Association (owns 365 col- 

 onies). 



S. T. Pettit, Canada's most successful comb- 

 honey producer and bee-keeper, says: "The 

 blood in my apiary is largely the progeny of 

 queens sent by you, and they are grand bees."

 Tested, $2.00 each; $10.00 for 6; $18.00 per dozen. 

 Untested until July 1, $1.25 each; $7.00 for 6; or
