What Some Say of our Standard- 

 Bred Italian Queens: 



George W. York <{• Co.: — The two queens re- 

 ceived of you some time ago are tine. 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 ifc Co : — After importing 

 queens for 15 years you have sent me the best. 

 She keeps 9' 2 Langstroth frames fully occu- 

 pied to date, and, although I kept the hive 

 well contracted to force them to swarm, they 

 have np.ver built a queen-cell, and will put up 

 100 pounds of honey if the flow lasts this 

 week. Cbas. Mitchell. 



Ontario, Canada, July 22. 



George W. York <fc Co.: — The queen I bought 

 of you has proven a good one, and has given 

 me some of my best colonies. 



N. P. Oglbsbt. 



Washington Co., Va., July 22 



George W. York tt 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 ber into a colony 

 which had been queenless for 20 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.
