GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



August, 1921 



THE OLD RELIABLE 

 THREE-BANDED ITALIANS 



Our Italians are of an exceptionally vigorous and long-lived strain of bees. They are gentle, 

 prolific, very resistant to foul brood, and the best of honey-gatherers. We have sold a good many 

 queens to parties who are using them in stamping out foul brood. If you want the very best quality 

 for the lowest price, send us your orders at once. Will guarantee safe arrival in the United States 

 and Canada.
