GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



April, 1922 



PURE ITALIAN BEES 

 AND QUEENS 



Mr. Honey Producer: — One way to get lar- 

 ger yields per colony is to head each col- 

 ony with a good young queen. I offer you 

 the best queens I can produce, reared from 

 breeders tested last fall. Drone mothers 

 are selected with as great care as breeders. 

 My queens are light-colored, large and 

 prolific, and will produce workers that will 

 gather honey for yon. Every queen sent 

 out is reared by me, and is therefore of 

 personal interest to me. 

 Record of safe deliveries last season was 

 98';?:. for packages and 95% for queens 

 (including 2% lost in packages). Packages 

 arriving in bad order replaced to extent 

 of damage on receipt of express bad order 

 bill. 



Queens arriving dead are replaced on re- 

 ceipt of dead queen which should be sent 

 back by return mail. I guarantee pure 

 mating so I make prices on untested 

 queens only.

 QUEENS. 



1 to 6 (selected) $1.50 each 



6 to 12 1.25 each 



12 to 50 1.15 each

Beekeepers' 

 Legal Rights 



The American Honey Producers' 

 League has accepted the offer of Mr. 

 Colin P. Campbell of Grand Eapids, 

 Michigan, to compile and make a di- 

 gest of all of the court decisions af- 

 fecting the bee business and the legal 

 questions arising from beekeeping. 



This work will be published by the 

 League in booklet form and will be 

 sold to beekeepers, who will thus have 

 available a handy reference book in 

 case of legal difficulty or unjust dis- 

 crimination. It will cost about $500 

 to publish this work. 



Will you help? 



Donations are requested from bee- 

 keepers everywhere and from dealers 

 in honey or bee supplies. Make cheeks 

 payable to American Honey Produc- 

 ers' League and mail to Secretary, 

 San Antonio Texas.
