GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

IF YOU NEED QUEENS 



We can fill your orders by return mail. To 

 use the words of our customers, with the 

 "largest and finest queens you ever saw." 

 These queens are not only fine looking, but 

 are very prolific, and their bees are the best of 

 honey-gatherers; that means strong colonies 

 and full supers. Now, to prove that this is not 

 all talk, send for our price list of Italian 

 queens, and give us a trial order. 



The choicest of tested queens, $1.00 each. 



Untested, 75 cts. each ; $8.00 per doz. 



Safe arrival and satisfaction guaranteed on 

 every order.
