Bees & Queens for 1922 



Is there a great difference among bees and queens? Mr. Beekeeper, with bees and queens a 

 small difference counts high. A small per cent better laying queen will greatly increase the 

 field force; this will insure a larger honey yield per colony. A small per cent better worker 

 will aid wonderfully. A small per cent more gentleness will greatly reduce the stings; this 

 increases the efficiency and speed of handling, not counting the pleasure. A small per cent of 

 better marking adds wonderfully to the beauty of the colony. By developing the small quali- 

 ties of my bees and queens I have attained marked success in producing better queens and 

 bees. My aim is to produce bees nnd queens that will meet the high standard requhed by beekeepers. Let 

 me b<x)k your order for 1922. One-fourth the full amount will insure yonr getting bees and queens when 

 you want them- most next spring. Perfer-t satisfaction, safe delivery, and pure mating guaranteed. Pure 

 Italian bees and Three-Band Italian queens of the better kind.
