 queen I ever saw. If I ever neefl more queens I now know

E. T. Flanagan, Belleville. Illinois. 



Dear Sir:— The four three-frame nuclei and one full colony I 

 bought of you last May, all arrived in excellent order and 

 have done exceedingly well, eonsidei ing the.v had a journey 

 of over two thousand miles to reach my place in Idaho. Three 

 of the nuclei gave a large natural swarm each. and. in addi- 

 tion, stored over 100 pounds of surplus comb honey each. The 

 other one did nearly as well. The full colony swarmed also, 

 and stored over 200 pounds of splendid comb honey in one- 

 pound section boxes I now have nine good strong colonies 

 with plenty of honey to winter on, and have taken from them 

 over 500 pounds of choice comb honey. I am well pleased with 

 my venture. Yours truly, B.F.White.

Don't Neglect Your Bees. 



Bee-keeping may be made uniformly suc- 

 cessful by judicious feeding. It is just as 

 important with bees as with other stock. 

 Success in feeding depends 

 very much on the feeder used. 

 When yf)U have tried the 



Boardnian Atmospheric
