Yes, "By their fruits ye shall know them," and that is 

 why I have recommended your queens. Where Euro- 

 pean foul brood is found, the stock proves itself disease- 

 resisting as well as or better than any other we have test- 

 ed. When a beekeeper having a good apiary where Eu- 

 ropean foul brood was taking the apiary when inspected, 

 and he told me, after testing your queens, he would not 

 take $25.00 for the last queen you sent him, it speaks for 

 itself His apiary, now cured, is proof of the pudding.

Dr. Miller's Strain 

 of Italians 



We have made arrangements with Dr. C. C. 

 Miller to furnish us breeders, and therefore 

 (ift'cr you the finest queens reared from the best 

 stoclv on earth, as Dr. Miller holds the world's 

 record for an apiary of more than 70 colonies 

 Iiaving averaged 266 sections weighing 244 

 pounds. These are not queens bred from a 

 mother that has produced one good yield, but 

 it has been bred in them for generations until 

 their honey-gathering is a fixed quality. In 

 Gleanings, p. 788, Editor Root says, "Those 

 queens (Dr. Miller's) ought to be worth $10 

 to $25 each." 



To inquirers: — / am rearing no queens for 

 sale, but am keeping The Stover Apiaries sup- 

 plied with breeders from my best stock; and 

 from thence you can obtain the same queens 

 you could get directly from me.
