Imported Italian mothers only are used, and for 

 industry, gentleness, and beauty their bees are un- 

 surpassed. We have in our yard biishels of drones 

 from imported mothers and their daughters, and a 

 mismated queen is rare. No defective queens sent 

 out. Remember that we are in the far South, and 

 can send queens by return mail. Safe delivery.
