Forehand'^s Queens . . . Get a good Queen 



One that will keep the hive chock full of bees at all times, make the Vjiggest yields 

 of honey, sting less, and look the prettiest, at a medium price. 



Over 25 years of select breeding has brought our queens up to a standard sur- 

 passed by none, and the superior of many. We have tried the principal races and 

 every method known, and now we have selected the best race and method — the 

 THREE-BAND BEES and the DOOLITTLE METHOD. We USE THE 3-BANDS 

 —Why? Because they get results. 



Dr. Miller, Eoots, and Dadants use them. 



Our queens are sold by many of the largest dealers in the II. S. 



Louis H. Scholl (one of the largest beekeepers of the Southwest) says, "Three- 

 band Italians have proven the best all-around-purpose bee after trying out nearly 

 every race — not only in an experimental way while still at A. M. Col., but in our 

 own apiaries as well. ' ' (In Beekeeper 's Item.)

Queens from Dr. C. C. 

 Miller's Best 

 Breeders 



We have made arrangements with Dr. C. 

 C. Miller to keep us supplied with some of 

 his best breeders, and are rearing queens 

 from these superior mothers that we guar- 

 antee to be as good as can be reared. 

 These queens are not just individuals that 

 have made a good yield ; we all have some 

 colonies that made a good showing, but all 

 do not have a strain that holds the world's 

 record as his does. Think of it — a whole 

 yard of 72 colonies averaging 266 sections 

 weighing 244 pounds. You are getting at 

 a low price the results of fifty years of 

 careful breeding of one of the most success- 

 ful beekeepers in the world. Safe arrival 

 and entire satisfaction guaranteed on all 

 goods sold. 



One untested Miller queen, $1.00, $11.00 

 per dozen. Tested, $2.00. Ex. Select Test- 

 ed, $3.50. Breeders, $5.00 to $10.00 each. 



One pound bees, $1.25; ten or more, 

 $1.00 per pound. Two pounds, $2.25; ten 

 or more, $2.00 each. One frame nuclei, 

 $1.25; two frame, $2.25; three frame, 

 $3.25. Add price of queen wanted. Full
