A STANDARD=BRED 



QUEEIf-BEE FPiEE 



To Our Regular Paid=in=Advance 

 Subscribers. 



We have arranged with several of the best queen-breeders to supply 

 us with The Very Best Untested Italian Queens that they can possibly 

 rear — well worth $1.00 each. We want every one of our present regular 

 subscribers to have at least one of these Queens. And we propose to 

 make it easy for you to get one or more of them. 



In the first place, you must be a regular subscriber to the American 

 Bee Journal, and your own subscription must be paid in advance; If it 

 is not already paid up, you can send in the neces.sary amount to make 

 it so when you order one of these fine Queens. 



A Queeo Free for Sending One New Snbscriber 



Send us $1.00 and the name and address of one NEW reader for the 

 American Bee Journal, and we will mail you one of the Queens free as 

 a premium. 



Now, go out among your bee-keeping neighbors and friends and 

 invite them to subscribe for the old American Bee Journal. If you want 

 some to show as samples, we will mail you, for the asking, as many 

 copies of the American Bee Journal as you can use. 



Should there be no other bee-keepers near you, and you desire one 

 of these fine Queens any way, send us $1.50 and we will credit your sub- 

 scription for one year and also mail you a Queen. Of course, it is un- 

 derstood that the amount sent will pay your subscription at least one 

 year in advance of the present time. So, if your subscription is in ar- 

 rears, be sure to send enough more than the $1.50 to pay all that is 

 past due. 



As the supply of these splendid Queens is limited, we prefer to use 

 all of them as premiums for getting new subscribers. But if any one 

 wishes to purchase them aside from the Bee Journal subscription, the 

 prices are as follows: One Queen, 7Sc.; 3 Queens, $2.10 ; 6 Queens 

 for $4.00. 



We expect to be able to fill orders by return mail, or almost as 

 promptly as that, so there will be no great delay at any rate. 



Now for the new subscribers that you will send us — and then 

 the Queens that we will send you! Address,
