 STRAIN of ITALIANS 



Produce workers that fill the supers, and are 

 not inclined to swarm. They have won a 

 world-wide reputation for honey-gathering, 

 hardiness, gentleness, etc. My queens are all 

 bred from my best long-tongued, three-band- 

 ed, red-clover stock (no other race bred in my 

 apiaries), and the cells are built in strong col- 

 onies well supplied with young bees.

HOW TO KEEP BEES

 bee-keeping three times, the talented author 

 is in a position to furnish the right kind 

 of advice. You can not go wrong in order- 

 ing this book. It is charmingly written and 

 easily understood. Price $1.10 postpaid by

QUEENS 



and bees — an Improved superior strain of 

 Italians is what QUIKIN RAISES. All yards 

 winter on summer stands with practically no 

 loss. Our stock is hardy, and will ward off 

 brood diseases. 



In the spring of 1899 we sent fifty nuclei to 

 J. D. Nixon, Lafarge, Wis., and on July 20th 

 (same year) he wrote us, saying they did just 

 splendid, as at that writing they had already 

 filled their supers, and that he would have to 

 extract them. We have files of testimonials 

 similar to the above.
