Dr. Miller's Honey- Queens. 



One Untested Queen and the American 

 Ree Journal one year, Both for $1.50. 



We have been fortunate in making an arrangement with DR. C. 

 C. MILLER— the well-known honev-^pecialist — to rear queens EX- 

 CLUSIVELY FOR US DURING THE SEASON OF 1900. These 

 Queens will be mailed in rotation, beginning about June 1, so " first 

 come first served." We are ready to uook orders now. 



The queens Dr. Miller will send out on our orders will be pre- 

 ci'-ely the same as those he rears for his own use, so of course they 

 wit; "be from his best stock. His best colony in 1899 had a queeii 

 reared u\ 1S'.I8; .Mav o, 1S9'.), it had brood in four frames, and he gave it at that time a frame of brood 

 without bees.' It had no other help, but May 26 a frame of brood with adhering bees was taken 

 from it and the same thing was repeated June 3, leaving it at that time five frames of tyood. It 

 stored 178 sections of honev, weighing 159 pounds (and that after July 20. in a poor season), being 

 2% times the average yield of all his colonies. A point of importance is the fact this colony did not 

 swarm, and an inspection every week or ten davs thowed that at no time during the entire season 

 was there even .so much as an egg in a queen-cell. Dr. Miller expects to rear queens from this one 

 during the coming season 



The demand nowadays is for BEES THAT GET THE HONEY when there is any to get, and 

 Dr. Miller has such bees. Y'ou will want to have a queen from his best, we are sure. 



Don't send any orders to Dr. Miller, as all MUST come through us, according to our agreement. 

 Remember, send us S1.-50 for the weekly American Bee Journal for one year, and one of dr. 

 MILLER'S u.vtestp:d HONEY-QUEENS. Quecn alone, SLOG. Orders for queens to be filled in rota- 

 tion, beginning about June 1st.
