Black and Hybrid Queens ! 



IN FACT 



ALL INFERIOR QUEENS! 



should be replaced with good young 

 ones. With such queens you will 

 have better success in wintering, and 

 a strong colony for the earliest hon- 

 ey-flow. I am a hone.y-producer as 

 well as a queen-breeder, and know 

 the value of a good q«een in a honey- 

 hive. I have selected for my moth- 

 ers, queens that 1 consider perfect in 

 every respect. Their bees are large, 

 gentle, and wonderful honey-gather- 

 ers. My drone-mothers are also care- 

 fully selected. 



Queens Go by Return Mail. 



One untested queen, 50c ; 12 for $5 .50. 

 One tested queen, 11.00; (i for |.5.50 ; 

 12 for $8. .50. Write for prices on larg- 

 er numbers.
