Queens are reared from mothers whose colonies are gentle, hardy, and as honey gatherers are 

 hustlers. Each and every queen reared by the latest and most approved methods, thus insuring 

 queens that are capable of duplicating the excellent characteristics of their mothers. Satisfaction 

 and safe arrival guaranteed in U.S. and Canada. Anticipate your needs and place your order now.

1920 QUEENS 1920 



A colony of bees with a poor queen is worth the hive and fixtures. A colony of bees with 

 a good queen has no limit in value, the honey flow alone being the determining factor. 

 I am using my thirty-five years of beekeeping and queen-rearing experience to produce the 

 best that can be produced, and sell at a figure that will sustain the high quality of my queens. 



PRICES 

 One. $2; three, $5.50; six, $10; twelve, $19. .All amounts over one dozen, $1.50 each. 

 I sell only untested queens and make a specialty of this line. I select no queens, but try 

 to have them all so good that there is little chance for selection. 1920 circular now ready. 



Season opens April first.
