 dition ; after being on the road 21 days, only three bees dead. Thank

 for a breeder, and every customer that bought her daughters has re-

THREE-BANDED QUEENS 



BEES IN PACKAGES FOR 1922 



After twenty-six years of select breeding we have a strain of Bright Three-banded 

 Italian Bees that are unsurpassed for their disease-resisting (especially European 

 foul brood) and honey-gathering qualities. Read what others say about them: 



"Enclosed fined $75.00 for 50 queens. I want 

 these for requeening colonies that have Euro 

 pean foul brood as I find your strain resist 

 ant. One of the queens bought of you last sea- 

 son built up from a nucleus and made 360 

 pounds of surplus honey." — Pennsylvania. 

 "I find your bees gentle, best of workers, and 

 they stand the long winters here fine." — Man- 

 itoba, Canada. 



"The two-pound packages I got of you last 

 year made an average of 150 pounds of Biir- 



plus honey. I find your bees not only hust- 

 lers but also gentle." — Illinois. 

 "The one-pound packages bought of you made 

 a surplus average of 175 pounds of extract- 

 ed honey and an increase of 39%, which is 

 as fine a record as can be had in this local- 

 ity, especially when the work is done entire- 

 ly by amateurs." — Pennsylvania. 

 "I am well pleased with the bees I got from 

 you last year as they paid for themselves and 

 made a nice profit." — Iowa.
