I vitality — Queens that successfully resist European foul brood j 



M Our select colonies for breeding purposes, iarv;ie, and select drones are those of the highest = 



s standard, the choice of over 1000 hustling honey-producing colonies of pure Italian bees. These se- 1 



M. lect colonies are located at such a distance from all other bees as to assure pure mating, and thus 1 



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



i 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 ^ 



1 stimulated by feeding. Thus we get large well nourished cells, which in turn produce large, long-lived, M 



= and hardy queens that give workers unexcelled for honey production. We use no baby n^.iclei. All § 



^ our queens are hatched and reared in strong three and five frame fuU-dpth hives. Thus natural s 



H conditions are preserved, and the best queens produced. s

These queens are guaranteed to be as good as 

 money can buy. They are bred by the same 

 and with the care as the high-priced ones. 

 They are bred from imported mothers, the best 

 in the world, and will produce bees that are 

 the best for honey-gathering, gentleness, and 

 not inclined to swarm.
