GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE

Queens 



Mr. Beekeeper, we are establisliiiig one of the most 

 modern queen-rearing outfits in the U. S. A. If you 

 want good quality, quick service, prompt atten- 

 tion, and perfect satisfaction, don't fail to place 

 Your orders with us, as we are ready to fill orders by return mail or your money re- 

 funded. Oui queens are bred by experienced queen-breeders; they arc reared by the 

 latest and most approved metliod and from the very best honey-gathering strain ot 

 Italians obtainable. Our ex])erience from boyhood up under our father (who had fifty 

 years of experience with bees) thus enables us to produce queens as good as can be 

 produced, but none better, and we sell at figures that will sustain the higli quality of 

 our queens. Our bees are hardy, gentle, prolific, disease-resistant, and honey gather- 

 ers. Eacli and every queen that leaves our yard is inspected by us personally, and 

 all inferior ones are killed.

Forehand's Queens 



They Satisfy — Why? 



Because of 28 years of experimental work, with both queen-breeding 

 and honey-production. With breeding and selecting of imported queens, 

 I have reached a standard which is ideal. Queens as good, but none 

 BETTEE. Why experiment? Take advantage of the life experience of 

 my breeders. 



OUR SERVICE STATION — We are ready to serve you at all times, 

 whether you desire queens or advice. Let us help you with your bee 

 problems. All questions are cheerfully answered.
