BUYING BEES IS LIKE— 



Janlarv, 1922 



Mr. Beekeeper! Buying bees is like buying other stock. The first consideration in the puiclia.se of bees or 

 (lueeiis is to get hardy, vigorous stock. Our bees and queens are noted to be very hardy, vigorous, and 

 very resistant to diseases. The second consideration is getting them in time for the honey ^ow. Send 

 us your order (larsje or small) ; you will not have to worry about lees not arriving on time, loss in t' an- 

 sit, disease, etc. Do you realize that a nice frame of emerging brood is equal to a !b. of bees? Each 

 package is shipped on a frame of emerging brood with honey. Also nuclei, full colonies. Pre-war prices. 

 10% will book vour order. First-ilass references if desired. Write for pr'ce list and other informa- 

 tion. ■ M. VOINCHE, BUNKTE, LA. 



Thagard's Italian Queens 



"BRED FOR QUALITY" 



The secret of ):)uying queens is not a matter of what you pay for them, but 

 what kind you get. More and more beekeepers are discovering that Thagai-d 

 Italian Queens have all the good qualities they desire. They are hardy, pro- 

 lific, disease-resisting and honey producers. Place our queens against any you 

 may obtain anywhere, and note the results. Safe arrival, pure mating guar- 

 anteed. Write for descriptive catalog.

l^ U J-J-tL/i 1 U Package Bees 



Our queens will fill your hives, with bees full of "Pep" ; to fill your supers full of honey, and your 

 pockets bulge with money. Pure Three-Banded Italians only, at prices greatly reduced. Having 

 spent the greater part of my life in Wisconsin and knowing conditions there, I want to call the at- 

 tention of Northern beekeepers that we are especially interested in their welfare. Our bees and queens 

 won Blue Ribbon at Mississippi State Fair this fall over all competitors. We constantly try to im- 

 prove our stock and methods. We know we have the best mating hives especially for chilly spring 

 weather. Cells are not given to mere handfuls of bees to hatch and mate. Ten-frame hives divided 

 in three compartments and eight-frame in two. This is expensive equipment in that it takes lots of 

 bees, but we are justified in doing this as there is a steady and growing demand for our queens. A 

 postal brings our folder of prices, testimonials, etc. 



We have the very best of shipping facilities, being on main line connecting North and South; few 

 transfers have to be made to reach any point in northern U. S. and Canada. Shipments reach the 

 following cities in record-breaking time: Chicago via St. Louis, one change, 26-30 hours; Detroit, 42 

 hours; New York, N. Y., 48-50 hours; St. Paul, Minn., 38-40 hours; Toronto and Montreal, Canada, 

 1)5 and 74 hours respectively.
