QUEENS OF QUALITY 



The editor of The Beekeepers' Review and his sons have 1100 colonies of bees worked for extracted 

 honey. With all those bees working with equal advantage, all having the same care and attention, they 

 have an opportunity unexcelled to ascertain without a reasonable doubt colonies desirable as breeders from 

 a honey-producers' standpoint. Likely, never in the history of beekeeping was there a better opportunity 

 to test out the honey-getting strain of bees than this. Think of it, 1100 colonies with equal show, and a 

 dozen of those colonies storing 250 to 275 pounds of surplus honey this last poor season (with us), while 

 the average of the entire 1100 being not more than 40 pounds per colony. We have sent two of our best 

 breeding queens (their colonies producing 275 pounds surplus each, during the season of 1915) to John 

 M. Davis, and two to Ben C. Davis, both of Spring Hill, Tenn., and they will breed queens for the Review 

 during the season of 1916 from those four superior honey-gathering breeding queens. Those young queens 

 will be mated witJi their thoroughbred drones. Our stock is of the three-bauded strain of Italians; also 

 that of John M. Davis; while Ben C. Davis breeds that disease-resisting strain of goldens that is becoming 

 so popular. , 



By this time you are ilkely thinking that your strain of bees may be improved some by the addition of 

 this superior strain of Review queens, and how you can secure one or more of those superior honey-gather- 

 ing queens as a breeder. We will tell you. They will be sold to none except Review subscribers. If you 

 are a paid-in-advance subscriber to the Review for 1916, we will mail you one of the daughters of those 

 famous queens in June for a dollar. If not a subscriber to the Review for 1916, send $1.75 for a year's 

 subscription to the Review, and one of those famous queens. These queens are well worth two dollars each 

 compared to the price usually charged for ordinary queens, but we are not trying to make money out of thie 

 proposition, only we are anxious to have every subscriber to Gleanings a subscriber to the Review, and 

 we are taking this way to accomplish the object. A few of the very first orders for queens that we receive 

 can be mailed in May, but the majority will not be mailed until June. Orders filled in rotation. Have your 

 order booked early and avoid disappointment. Address with remittance
