What Some Say orour~Stanaard- 

 Bred Italian Queens: 



George W. Yoi-k <fc Co.: — The two queens re- 

 ceived of you some time ago are fine. They 

 are good breeders, and the workers are show- 

 ing up fine. I introduced them among black 

 bees, and the bees are nearly yellow now, and 

 are doing good work. A. W. Swan. 



Nemaha Co., Kan., July 15. 



George W. York d- Co.;— After importing 

 queens for 15 years you have sent me the best. 

 She keeps 9'., Langstroth frames fully occu- 

 pied to date^ and, although I kept the hive 

 well contracted to force them to swarm, they 

 have never built a queen-cell, and will put up 

 100 pounds of honey if the flow lasts this 

 week. Chas. Mitchell. 



Ontario, Canada, July 22. 



George W. York cfc Co.: — The queen 1 bought 

 of you has proven a good one, and has given 

 me some of my best colonies.

Washington Co., Va., July 22 



George ir. York <£• Co.: — The queen I re- 

 ceived of you a few days ago came through 

 O.K., and I want to say that she is a beauty. 

 I immediately introduced her into a colony 

 which had been queenless for 30 days. She 

 was accepted by them, and has gone to work 

 nicely. I am highly pleased with her and 

 your promptness in filling my order. My 

 father, who is an old bee-keeper, pronounced 

 her very fine. You will hear from me again 

 when I am in need of something in the bee- 

 line. E. E. McColm.

 is unique in this regard. The first fe'^v 

 pages are devoted to an interesting 

 biograpliical sketch of Dr. Miller, tell- 

 ing how he happened to get into bee- 

 keeping. About 20 years ago he wrote 

 a small book, called "A Year Among 

 the Bees," but that little work has been 

 out of print for a number of years. 

 While some of the matter used in the 

 former book is found in the new one, it 

 all reads like a good new story of suc- 

 cessful bee-keeping by one of the mas- 

 ters, and shows in minutest detail just 

 how Dr. Miller does things with bees.
