BEE-LINE QUEENS 



Golden and Three-banded Italians 



F?-om Caraway'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 j^our 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.
