Better Queens and Bees for Less Money | 



20 years of select breeding gives us bees and queens of highest | 



quality— Queens for Honey production — Queens of unusual | 



vitality— Queens that successfully resist European foul brood | 



Our select colonies for breeding purposes, larvw, and select drones are those of the highest = 



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



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



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 largo well nourished cells, which in turn produce large, long- g 



lived, and hardy queens that give workers unexcelled for honey production. We use no baby nuclei. ^ 



All our queens are hatched and reared in strong three and five frame full-depth hives. Thus natural s 



conditions are preserved, and the best queens produced. =
