TESTED QUEENS. — I make a practice of re- 

 queening all my colonies each year with young 

 (lueens. I am going to offer the tested queens for 

 sale. They are descended from the Moore strain of 

 leather-colored Italians. Only one year old this 

 coming summer, right in the prime of their lives, 

 ,iust old enough to thoroly test them. I will begin 

 mailing the queens the last of June, and finish in 

 .luly. I like to have enough orders in advance to 

 take them all, as I can work to better advantage in 

 requeening. I will receive and book orders now, 

 and will fill in rotation when I begin mailing them. 

 Price, $2.00 each; 12 for $22.00. A few choice 

 breeding queens, some two years old for $5.00 each. 

 Safe arrival and satisfaction guaranteed.
