Queen-Rearing Articles 



are wanted by the BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. The May issue is to be a special number de- 

 voted to Queen rearing, and it is for that issue that the articles are wanted. Go briefly over the 

 subject, beginning with preparing the colony for cell-building, securing the eggs or larvae, 

 starting the cells, caring for them, starting nuclei, introducing virgin queens, or putting in 

 cells, caging and mailing queens, giving all the little hints possible. Also give a few hints that 

 will help the man who simply wishes to rear a few queens for his own use. For the best article , 

 on the subject, received before April 15th, I will pay $5.00 cash. For any other article on the' 

 subject, aside from the prize-article, that I think well enough of to print, I will send the writer 

 the REVIEW for 1900 and one of those Superior Stock Queens. 



The REVIEW is $1.00 a year ; but to each subscriber for 1900 I will send 12 back numbers 

 free. For $2 00 I will send the 12 back numbers, the REVIEW for 1900, and a queen of the.

I Beware of the Elephant | 



that you may get on j'our hands this season 

 in the shape of a horrible bee disease, by 

 buying queens indiscriminately. Better be 

 on the safe side, and buy from an apiary 

 where a bee-disease of any description was 

 never known in its region — that's ours — and 

 at the same time get the best that money 

 Imys. I claim for my strain of Italians the 

 desirable points of their own race and those 

 of the blacks combined. 



Orders booked now for delivery in season. 



Price $1.00 for warranted queens untested.
