GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



July, 1922 



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 disease guaranteed.

Nordan's Three-Banded Italian Queens and Bees (Three-Banded Only) 



BEEKEEPERS: If you have one colony or five 

 thousand T want you to give my superior strain 

 of three-banded Italians a trial. I am fixing the 

 price right so you can. I am not a new man come 

 out; I have been in business almost all of my life 

 for honey production and improving my strain. I 

 have selected and bred my strain from the finest 

 mothers in mv yards which were selected for all 

 of the good qualities. For over a quarter of a cen- 

 tury I spared neither labor nor money in develop- 

 ing my strain until now I can put queens and 

 bees on the market which I know are surpassed 

 by none and I guarantee that money cannot buy 

 any better in the U. S, A. When you introduce 

 my queens, beekeepers, you can feel assured you 

 have a bee that cannot be surpassed by any in 

 U S. A., which is backed by over a quarter of 

 century improving and selecting from the finest 

 mothers and mated to drones that are selected. 



Bee Paralj'sis. I have found the foundation of 

 Bee Paralysis, which is in the queens, and now 

 after years of selecting and testing I guarantee 

 my strain resistant to it. Bee Paralysis is preva- 

 lent over the South. I will gladly replace any 

 bees I ship that Bee Paralysis breaks out in. 



QUALITY AND SATISFACTION.— Each and 

 every queen I send out, if it be one or five thou- 

 sand, is guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction; 

 otherwise advise me and I will gladly send more 

 to take their places. You don't run any risk. A 

 record of over a quarter of a century of fair and 

 honest dealings. You get your money's worth as 

 nearly as possible plus a very small profit, and 

 my price is fixed to a very small profit. 



All queens select; if they do not prove up pleas- 

 ing to the eye, they are not shipped. I do not 

 price a select untested and ship an untested. T 

 give the greatest care possible to produce the finest 

 (ineeus possible.
