RE'S STRAIN OF ITALIANS 



AS RED-CLOVER WORKERS. 



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

 tested queen of you last year and her bees have filled 

 three comb-honey supers, and did not swarm, while 

 thirteen out of the fifteen other colonies did not gel 

 more than half that amount 



I have queens from six different breeders, and 1 

 class yours lOO per cent above them all. Your bees 

 worked very strong on the first crop of red clover. ] 

 know they were yours, becau.se I floured them with a 

 dredge-box and watched the hive. They also worked 

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

 blos.soms." 



Untested queens, 75c each; six. S4.00; dozen, S7.50. 

 Select untested, $1.00 each; six, §5,00; dozen, 89.00. Safe 

 arrival and satisfaction guaranteed. 



Send for descriptive circular showing whv my 

 queen-trade has grown so 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 vears' experience in rearing Italian queen 

 bees, and' producing honey on a large scale has taught 

 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 iny 

 stock by buying queens from breeders who breed for 

 honey-gathering instead of color; then by 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. ^i_ flQ 



Delanson, New York, July 10, 1902. 

 Mb. Robey— 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 1000 queens from the principal queen-breed- 

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



Warranted queens m any quantity, 60c. each. Safe<?e- 

 livery and satisfact ion guaranteed or money refund* d.
