QUEENS 



The successful beekeeper is the one wlio has the strong- 

 est colonies just as the hone.y flow opens. Do you know 

 of anything that gives more downriglit pleasure to the 

 beekeeper than to have all colonies extra strong, to 

 have all hives filled with emerging brood, and to have 

 liives and supers crowded witli bees just as tlie honey 

 flow begins? And when a thunder storm suddenly comes 

 up, doesn't it make one's soul glad to see the beautiful 

 yellow bees pour into their hives in countless hordes so 

 as to darken the sky? If a large percentage of your 

 colonies are not in this condition, there is still some- 

 thing to be desired in your management. In a major- 

 ity of the cases where indifferent work is accomplished 

 by certain colonies, it is due to old or inferior queens. 

 Many have noticed a marked increase in the amount 

 of honey secured after purchasing some of our queens 

 and requeening with them or their progeny. Then 

 again, it is a great pleasure to work with gentle bees. 

 Isn't it a plaguy nuisance to liave cross blacks or hy- 

 ]>rids and have the pesky things dancing around in 

 front of your face for hours at a time? Our bees are 

 never guilty of such indecorous conduct. 

 Our cells are built in powerful colonies, made exces- 

 sively strong by adding brood taken from other colo- 

 nies, so that the larva in the queen-cell has more royal 

 jelly than it can possibly consume. Scientific research 

 lias proved what we have long known in a practical 

 way — the magic of royal jelly. Our embryonic queens 

 have it in abundance. In addition, our queens are not 

 hatched in cell protectors or nursery cages so that the 

 emerging queen has every opportunity to measure up 

 to the high .standard for which our queens are noted. 

 The strongest guarantee goes with every queen.
