GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



Talking Queens 



Laws' queens speak for themselves, 

 as "actions speak louder than words," 

 while pleased customers everywhere 

 have been boosting Laws queens many 

 years. 



Twenty-seven years' continuous ad- 

 vertising in this journal as queen- 

 breeder, with continuous careful breed- 

 ing from the very best Italians, places 

 Laws queens and Laws methods far 

 above the average. 



If quick service and reliable dealings 

 count with you, place your orders with 

 me. My capacity is from five to six 

 thousand queens in the next five months. 

 Five hundred young laying queens 

 ready now April 3, and many more be- 

 fore this reaches your eyes. 



Prices: Tested, each, $1; 12 for $10; 

 100 for $80. Untested, 90 cts.; 12 for 

 $9; 100 for $70. Breeding queens, extra 

 select, $5 to $10. 



There is not a known case of bee 

 disease in this or adjoining counties.
