After 20 years of careful selecting and breeding I now have a strain of bees 

 that cannot be excelled by any. . . . My queens are all bred from IMPORTED 

 STOCK, the very best in the world for honey-gathering and gentleness. They are 

 not given to swarming. What more do you want in bees than the three above 



qualities'!
