Breeding queens after June 15, with 2-frame nuclei, $15.00 each. 



Queens are reared from mothers whose colonies are GENTLE, HARDY, and as 

 HONEY GATHERERS will compare with any. Each and every queen reared by the 

 latest and most approved methods, thus insuring queens that are capable of duplicat- 

 ing the excellent characteristics of their mothers. 



I rear all my queens personally, and strive for QUALITY instead of quantity. You 

 may rest assured that when you order queens of us you are getting among the best 

 that can be produced. You take absolutely no risk in getting our queens for SAT- 

 ISFACTION and safe arrival guaranteed in the United States and Canada. Foreign 

 shipments at receiver's risk. I sell no bees by the pound, nor nuclei, only with 

 breeding queens. Try and estimate your needs for the approaching season and place 

 your order early.
