T'wenty-ji've years of Select Breeding from the Best 



After 25 years of select breeding, not all of the time in a commercial way, but as large honey pr(%' 

 ducers, therefore rearing a great number of queens for our own use, we have strains of pure Italian 

 bees which we believe are unexcelled for honey production, disease-resisting qualities, beauty, and 

 gentleness. Owning about 1,500 colonies of bees which we run for honey, gives us ample opportun- 

 ity to test them out in every way. As our apiary interests e.xtend as far north as northern Ontario, 

 we test them not only for honey production but also from a climatic standpoint. We find that our 

 bees stand the long winters there with very satisfactory results. They are very hardy and long- 

 lived. LisfcH what othcr.s xai/ about them: 



"M. C. Berry & Co., Hayneville, Ala. : The queens I got from you have all the others 



skinned! They are very gentle, best of workers, and stand *''p Iout w'ntero here finelv. Other 



queens coming from a shorter distance do not hold a ( andle to them." — Gilbert Plains Man., 

 Canada. (Name on request.) 



"M. C. Berry & C^o. : I wish to inform you that one of your queens made the most honey of 

 any in the yard. It made 250 pounds honey against an average of 103 pounds for the yard. All 

 of your queens made good. I never have had a queen from you that did not return a big per 

 cent on the investment." — Marion, Ind. (Name on request.) 



"M. C. Berry & Co.: One of your queens built up from a nucleus and made 360 pounds of 

 surplus honey. Enclosed find $75.00 for 50 queens. I want these for requeening European foul 

 brood colonies as I find your stock resistant." — Troy, Pa. (Name on request.)
