There is Money in Our 3-banded Italian Bees | 



20 Years of Select Breeding Gives Us Queens of Highest Quality j 



Queens for Honey Production - - Queens of Unusual Vitality j 



Our select colonies used for lireedins purposes, larvre and select drones are those of the highest ^ 



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



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 cian be seen and = 



handled, having just come out of the egg. These are placed in cells which in tiu-n are placed and ^ 



nourislied in strong ten-frame colonies, which, when honey is" not coming in sufticiently, are heavilv p 



stiniulated by feeding. Tims 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 we guarantee. M
