GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



Mav, 1921 



Northwestern Headquarters for Italian Queens 



The queen is the life of the colony. You cannot afforJ to keejj poor queens or a poor 

 strain of bees. I have been in the bee business for more than twenty years and have 

 made every effort to improve the honey-gathering qualities of my bees by purchase 

 of breeders and by selective breeding. I believe that my bees are unsurpassed by 

 any. When you buy Untested Queens from me you are getting select untested queens. 

 I will begin mailing queens about June 1.
