BUY THE BEST 



Why buy inferior queens when the best can be bought at the same price? You 

 have heard of Dr. C. C. Miller's famous honey-gathering stock. How would YOU like 

 to have a strain of bees like his? You CAN have. LISTEN, and we will tell you how. 



We have made arrangements with Dr. ililler to furnish us breeders from his stock 

 that has produced 2G6 sections weighing 244 pounds. These breeders are FINE. They 

 are pure three-banded Italians, very gentle, and produce fine large daughters. Few 

 people ever have a chance at the best in the world — so grasp this chance while you 

 have it. 



To inquirers: — I am rearing no queens for sale, hut am keeping The Stover Apiaries supplied 

 with breeders from my best stock; and from thence you can obtain the saine queens you could get 

 directly from me. C. C. Miller. Marengo, III., March 1, 'IC.

BEE-LINE QUEENS 



GOLDEN AND THREE- 

 BANDED ITALIANS 



From CaraAvay 's prize-winning stock. Every queen purchased of me I will 

 guarantee to give satisfaction. If she does not I will replace her with another 

 queen or refund your money. They are hustlers, long lived, not inclined to build 

 burr-comb, cap their honey white, and are not given to swarming, and are gentle to 

 work with. 



My bees and queens are winners of over 100 first premiums in the past eight 

 years. This speaks for itself. If you are going to buy queens you cannot do better 

 than buy the Bee-Line Queens. 



Queens are postpaid, and- safe arrival is guaranteed to all points in United 

 States and Canada. No diseases of any kind in my apiaries. 



State inspector's health certificate with each shipment.
