Italian Queens 



The queen is the life of the colony. 

 You cannot afford to keep poor 

 queens or a poor strain of bees. I 

 have been in the bee business for 

 more than twenty years and have 

 made every effort to improve the 

 honey-gathering qualities of my 

 bees by purchase of breeders and 

 by select breeding. I believe that 

 my bees are unsurpassed by any. 

 When you buy Untested Queens 

 from me you are getting select un- 

 tested queens. I will begin mailing 

 queens about June 1.
