QUEENS 



I hope you will send in your order for some of our High Grade Italian Queens 

 and become one of the large number of our satisfied customers. We are now enjoy- 

 ing a light honey flow from blue vine, making the conditions ideal for producing the 

 very best queens. In addition to this, we give the larvse the right start in the swarm 

 box and finish the cells in powerful colonies, so populous as to crowd a two-story 

 Jumbo hive. Cells are given to strong nuclei, and the young virgin receives the best 

 care at all times. No queens are hatched in nursery cages. I give the fullest guaran- 

 tee with every queen sent out, and will gladly replace any that proves other 'than first- 

 class. If the present favorable weather continues, I will be able to make prompt 

 shipments.. 



OUR GUARANTEE: I guarantee pure mating, safe arrival, and that all queens 

 shall be first class, leaving it to the customer to be the judge.

"Dear Mr. Smith: Received the queen you sent all O. K. She is just splendid 

 and vigorous. I have nearly finished requeening my apiai-y with the stock I bought 

 from you last year. Their progeny are true to type and color, laying so profusely 

 that I shall have to give them another super besides the brood chamber in which to 

 lay. I must say again how satisfied I am. Very faithfully. Otto Holt."
