GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



May, 1921 



A GOOD QUEEN 



may bring yon $50.00 worth of honey, wliile a poor one may bring yon 

 nothing, therefore the cost of a good queen is trifling compared 

 with the returns she brings. Every queen we send out is reared by me 

 personally, and I spare no labor or expense to produce those "good 

 queens" we all desire. I give the strongest guarantee with all queens 

 sent out, and if any should prove other than a tirst-class queen, I will 

 gladly replace her upon request. The customer's word is good. 1 could 

 not afford to do this, if I did not have faith in the queens I sell.
