MOORE'S STRAIN OF ITALIANS 



AS RED-CLOVER WORKERS. 



ly. C. Medkiff, .Salem, N. J., says: "I bought an un- 

 tested queen of j-ou last year and her bees liave filled 

 three comb-honey supers, and did not sw^arm, while 

 thirteen out of the fifteen other colonies did not get 

 more than half that amount 



I have queens from six different breede rs, and I 

 class yours 100 per cent above them all. Your bees 

 worktd veri' strong on the first crop of red clover. I 

 know they were yours, because I floured them with a 

 dredge-box and watched the hive. They al.so worked 

 strong on the second crop of red clover and lima-bean 

 blossoms." 



Intested queens, 75c each; six. $1 CO; dozen. 87.50. 

 Select untested, $1.00 each; six, $5.00, dozen, 89.00. Safe 

 arrival and satisfaction gviaranteed. 



Send for descriptive circular showing whv my 

 queen-trade lias grown .^o fast. I am now filling 

 orders by return mail, and shall probably be able to 

 do so till the close of the season.

U/ye Best Stock ! 



Twenty years' experience in rearing Italian queen 

 bees, and producing honey on a large scale has tqught 

 me the value of the best stock, and what the best 

 queens reared from that best stock mean to the hon- 

 ey-producer. I have always tried to improve my 

 stock by buying queens from breeders who breed for 

 honey-gathering instead of color; then bj' crossing 

 these different strains and selecting the best and 

 breeding from them I have secured a strain of stock 

 that is the equal of any for honey-gathering. 



Delanson, New York, .luly 10, 190'2. 

 Mb. Bobey— Dear Sir: The queens that I bought 

 of you two years ago were the finest lot, and the best 

 honey-gatherers of any queens I ever had, and I have 

 had over 1I100 queens from the principal queen-breed- 

 ers of the United States. E. W. Alexander. 



Warranted queens in any quantity, 60c. each. Safe de- 

 livery and satisfaction guaranteed or money refunded.
