QUEENS 



Our boos aro so busy raising queens that I 

 cannot afford wiiiskers this month. Besides, 

 several customers liave written nie, saying 

 tliey \ver(> tired of those whiskers and reconi- 

 iiiended a sliave. Now as I have complied 

 with those requests, I hoi)e you will comply 

 witli mine and send in your order for some 

 of our High-grade Italian Queens and be- 

 come one of the large number of our satis- 

 lied customers. We are now enjoying a 

 light honey flow fiom Blue Vine, nuiking 

 tiie conditions ideal for }>roducing the very 

 l)est queens. In addition to this, we give 

 the larvae the right start in the Swarm Box 



and finish the cells in powerful colonies, so 

 populous as to crowd a two-story Jumbo 

 hive. Cells are given to strong nuclei, and 

 the young virgin receives the best care at 

 all times. No (jueens are hatched in nursery 

 cages. I give the fullest guarantee with 

 every queen sent out, and will glady replace 

 any that proves other than first class. If 

 the present favorable weather continues, I 

 will be able to make prompt shipments. 

 Our Guarantee: I guarantee pure mating, 

 safe arrival, and that all queens shall be 

 first class, leaving it to the customer to be 

 the judge.

 "Dear Mr. Smith: 



"Eeceived the (|ueeu you sent all 

 O. K. She is just splendid and vigor- 

 ous. I have nearly fir.islied requeening 

 my apiary with the stock I bought from 

 you last year. Their progeny are true 

 to type and color, laying so profusely 

 that I shall have to give them another 

 super besides the brood-chamber in 

 which to lay. I must say again how sat- 

 isfied I am. Very faithfully,
