FOREHAND'S THREE BANDS 



The Thrifty Kind 



For over a quarter of a century our bees and queens have been giving satisfac- 

 tion to America's greatest honey producers. 



Careful selecting has brought our strain of bees up to a standard SURPASSED 

 BY NONE BUT SUPERIOR TO MANY. We are constantly selecting to improve 

 the thriftiness, hardiness, gentleness and beauty of our bees. 



Our queens are bred from mothers imported from Italy in the spring of 1921, or 

 the daughters of queens imported in 1920. Cross breeding with our domestic strain 

 lightens the color of the imported bee and brings them up to our standard, which is 

 surpassed by none but superior to many. We breed into them thriftiness and hardi- 

 ness. 



We guarantee our bees to be purely mated and to give satisfaction the world 

 over. Safe arrival is guaranteed in the United States and Canada.
