GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



June, 1922 



QUEENS 



Queen-rearing at our apiary is now in full blast. The weather is ideal, 

 and flowers are giving up their nectar in a manner most conducive to 

 the production of high-grade queens. No work nor expense is spared 

 to produce the queens we send out. Each queen is reared by me per- 

 sonally and is the very best I know how to produce. 

 REMEMBER that I guarantee pure mating, safe arrival and that every 

 queen is first class in every respect. If any proves otherwise I want 

 to know of it, that 1 may have the opportunity of replacing her. 

 REMEMBER also it is the colony headed by a good queen that gets 

 the big yield of honey and I believe you will find mine are just what 

 you want. 



"Several years ago I had two of your queen.s and found them 



very good, in fact better than anv other Italians I ever 



had." — J. F. Fattig, Pataskala, Ohio. 



"Yes. the other breeder I' got of you in 1919 was the finest 



queen I ever saw. all the way around." — Cecil B. Hayes, 



Miami, New Mexico. 



"The queen I got of you last fall is the best I ever saw." 



Loel M. Seelye. .'Vvon, New York.

Another $200.00 Queen 



A descendant of the Root's famous two-hun- 

 dred-dollar queen was shipped by us to Mr. C. 

 B. Hamilton of Michigan on April 15, 1921, with 

 a two-pound package of bees and produced 577 

 finished sections of comb honey that sold for 

 $168.00. (See Gleanings for March, page 167.) 

 Mr. Hamilton says this queen kept 20 Standard 

 Hoffman frames filled with brood during the 

 season. THIS BREAKS ALL RECORDS SO 

 FAR. 



We have secured this queen for a breeder 

 and we are now booking orders for her queens 

 at the following prices, safe arrival, satisfac- 

 tion and freedom from diseased guaranteed.
