EUROPEAN FOUL BROOD 



is spreading in various parts of the 

 country. The first step in its cure 

 is a vigorous strain of ITALIANS. 



The Root Strain of Bees have shown 

 Themselves to be Highly Resistant 



While we do not claim their introduction will alone cure European Foul 

 Brood, or that it will not make a start in their colonies, we have reports 

 of where they have, with a little help, fought themselves nearly clean of 

 European Foul Brood which was all around them in black and hybrid 

 colonics. 



PRICES.— Our regular price is $1.50 in June and $1.00 after July 1 for 

 untested queens ; but we will club them with Gleanings in Bee Culture 

 for one year and a queen for $1.50, provided we can fill orders for queens 

 when we have a surplus of them. This will probably be July and August.
