There is Money in Our 3 -banded Italian Bees 



20 Years of Select Breeding Gives Us Queens of Highest Quality 

 Queens for Honey Production - - Queens of Unusual Vitality 



Our select colonies used for breeding purposes, larvae and select drones are those of the highest 

 standard, the choice of over 1000 hustling, honey-producing colonies of pure Italian bees. These 

 select colonies are located at such a distance from all other bees as to assure pure mating, and thus 

 very effective use of our select drones. The larva we use in grafting is as small as can be seen and 

 handled, having just come out of the egg. These are placed in cells which in turn are placed and 

 nourished in strong ten-frame colonies, which, when honey is not coming in sufficiently, are heavily 

 stimulated by feeding. Thus we get cells that produce large, long-lived, and hardy queens, which 

 give workers unexcelled as honey-producers. We use no baby nuclei. All our queens are hatched and 

 reared in strong three and five frame full-depth hives. Thus natural conditions are preserved. 



All orders will be filled promptly by return mail or soon. We have no disease of any kind. 

 Satisfaction and safe arrival wo guarantee.
