GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Oct. 1. 



Moore's Strain of Italians 



tested by the side of other strains by Mr. Chalon 

 Fowls, a honey-producer, of Oberlin, O., and here is 

 his report, dated Aug. 29, 1900 : 



" I want to say, now that I have had a chance to test 

 your strain of Italians, that they are ahead of any 

 other strain that I have had for honey-gathering and 

 gentleness." 



Warranted queens, 7.5c each ; 6, S4.00 ; 12, 87.00. Se- 

 lect warranted, Sl.OO ; 6, 85.00; 12, 89.00. Safe arrival 

 and satisfaction guaranteed. I am filling orders by 

 return mail, and shall probably be able to do so till 

 the close of the season. Circular free. 



J. P. Moore, Lock box 1, Morgan, Pend. Co., Ky, 

 HARD TO BEAT! 



" I have several queens, bought of you two and 

 three years ago. The bees, for gentleness, beauty, 

 and honey-gathering qualities, are hard to beat — Jas. 

 Ives, Smithville, N. J , Aug. .31, 1900. 



See circular and ads. Queen-mothers give large, 

 fine queens, and queens that are large, vigorous, 

 peaceable, and best of honey-gatherers. Try a few.

SEETHEPO\UTS\ 



I have had fifteen years of experience in producing 

 honey and rearing queens ; and I am breeding queens 

 from a queen procured last spring from J. F. Mcln- 

 tyre, of Sespe, California. He describes this stock on 

 page 12 of Gleanings for Jan. 1st, as filling the supers 

 when other colonies were actually starving. The 

 drones in my yard are from exc?Ilent stock — such as 

 that of J. P. Moore, of Kentucky. I rear queens by 

 the Doolittle method, send them by return mail, and 

 guarantee safe arrival, purity of mating, and satisfac- 

 tion, at 50 cts. each, in any quantity. Money refund- 

 ed if queens are not satisfactory. Send for circular. 



L. H. ROBEY, Worthington, W. Va. 



HONEY QUEENS. 



I have thou, as daily letters testify. Recent conclu- 

 sions force the belief that the leather-colored strain 

 of three-banders excel in honey-gathering. If you 

 w^ant Goldens my strain takes the lead of all others, 

 and I have tried them all ; 250 colonies for honey, and 

 200 strong nuclei that will winter over. I am prepared 

 to send you a queen any day you may order. Tested 

 or untested queens, 81. 00. I^eather breeders, 82.50. 

 Owing to increased demand straight 5 band breeders 

 are 85.00 each.
