GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Jan. 15 



CAUCASIAN QUEENS. 



Guaranteed mated to pure Caucasian drones. 

 Good honey-gatherers. Gentlest bees in the 

 world. Can be handled without veil or gloves. 



Notice the distinct gray bands on my strain 

 of Caucasians— can be easily distinguished 

 from other races. I am breeding queens from 

 a mother of wonderful gentleness, whose bees 

 have never stung me, even when I have put 

 them to tests that would have infuriated the 

 gentlest of Italians. I have no mismated 

 queens for sale— only pure Caucasians; and I 

 guarantee every queen sent out to be mated 

 with a pure Caucasian drone. There are very 



few imported Caucasian queens in this _ _ ,»,_,„ ,»■- r> k> > -r a ... a u u 



country; I am the owner of two from which I D. E. LYON, Ph. D., MATAWAN, N. J. 



shall breed. Price of Queens. $3.00 Each. twelve years' experience with bees. 



Place orders now with P. O. money-order, as queens will be shipped first to those who place their orders now. 



Now is the Time to Plan 



for the coming season, and you are bound to need queens to replace those that are 

 old and worn out. Many of my customers have written me that the queens bought 

 of me were the only ones that gave any surplus the past poor season. You had bet- 

 ter plaa to supply yourself with a lot of those fine young queens from the Laws 

 apiaries, and double your crop of honey. 



I AM BREEDING THE LEATHER AND GOLDEN ITALIANS, 



also the Holy Lands. So many calls have come for Carniolans that I have added this splendid race to my 

 list, and there is no doubt that the Carniolan, or the Carni-Italian cross, will cap their honey whiter than 

 any of the Eastern races. I am not only prepared to furnish you with the best bees and queens in existence, 

 but in any quantities, large or small, from one to a thousand queens. Nuclei and full colonies in seasoi . 

 I also offer another car of bees the coming season. 



PRICES: Queens, each, $1.00; six for $5.00. Breeders, each, $3.00. Write for quantity lots.
