You Should Earn $25 a Colony from Your Bees This Season 



This can be accomplished if you have a young prolific queen and a strong colony when the 

 honey-flow arrives. Many beekeepers fail to secure the greatest possibilities from their bees because 

 their" colonies are not strengthened and built up early in the season, making it possible for them to 

 take advantage of the honey-flow when it arrives. This should be a good season for clover honey, as 

 weather conditions last year throughout the country were the best for securing a good strong stand 

 of clover we have had for many years. 



We now have a large queen-rearing outfit in Florida for the express purpose of supplying you 

 with EARLY QUEENS AND BEES IN PACKAGES. We are breeding from queens that gave a 

 surplus of 300 pounds per colony in a 24-day honey-flow. You should have this strain of bees in 

 your yard, and insure the placing of each of your colonies on a paying basis. We have a large 

 supply of queens at this time, but as orders are coming in rapidly, we recommend that you provide 

 for your requirements early.

The Rarest and Best Offer Yet 



A daughter of one of Dr. Miller's best honey-getting queens and the Beekeepers' Review one year for 

 only $2.00. Every one will want a (laughter of those famous World Champion Honey-producers. Listen to 

 the record: A yard of 72 colonies produced in one season 17,684 finished sections of comb honey, or an 

 average of 245 sections per colony. This is without a doiibt the world's record crop from a yard of that 

 size. Start breeding up a honey strain of bees by using one of those famous daughters this season! This is 

 the first time stock from this noted yard has been on sale. Our breeder, one of the very best in the Gulf 

 States, will breed from one of those best queens ; and as his original stock is of the best three-banded stock, 

 wonderful results are to be expected. Let us book your order at this time for one of those fine queens, for 

 we have for sale only something like 500 for June delivery. The queen is well worth all we are asking, 

 $2.00 and the Review for a year. 



1000 Pound Packages of Combless Bees for Sale with Queen 



Did you ever ask a breeder to quote you a price upon a thousand pound packages of combless bees? 

 If you did, you will have noticed that he took his pencil from his pocket, and began to figure what such a 

 sale would save him in advertising, postage, office help, etc., and the results would be that he would make 

 you a very close price. Now we have that very close price on one-pound packages of bees; and, as is usual 

 with us to charge no profit on supplies furnished subscribers of the Review, none will be charged upon 

 those ; but our subscribers will get all the advantage of this good buy. Notice that this close price is not 

 for a late fall delivery, but April and May delivery, later deliveries at a less price that will be quoted later, 

 or by mail for the asking. Upon this deal we have two big points: First, the price; second, an old experi- 

 enced breeder who has spent his life breeding bees and queens foi- the market. We mention this so yoii 

 will not get it into your heads that this is a " cheap John " lots of goods, but that they are as good as money 

 can buy, no matter what price you pay. The price is $16.00 for ten pound packages of those combless bees, 

 each containing a young untested three-banded Italian queen of this season's rearing. Additional pound 

 packages, without queen, one dollar each. 



For larger lots ask for special price, stating how many you can use and when the delivery is to be 

 made. They are shipped from .Mabama, in light well-ventilated cages, by express. Just a word to the 

 wise: Book your orders early! Addre.'^s
