should be replaced with good young 

 ones. With such queens you will 

 have better succe.'^s in wintering, and 

 a strong colony for the earliest hon- 

 ey-flow. I am a honey-producer as 

 well as a queen-breeder, and know 

 the value of a good queen in a honey- 

 hive. I have .^elected for my moth- 

 ers, queens that I consider perfect in 

 every respect. Their bees are large, 

 gentle, and wonderful honey-gather- 

 et s. My drone-mothers are also care- 

 fully selected.
