GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

Get Caucasian and Italian 



BEES- 



UEENS 



from California 



^™— T?)E HAVE received a number of letters from bee-keepers all over the U. S. 



I Y j asking us how to get and where to get good queens of pure Caucasian 



VAy stock. The wonderful gentleness of Caucasian bees has attracted the 



*^ ^ attention of all practical bee-keepers, and therefore it is no wonder that 



they're going to introduce them into their apiaries and make a trial of them. 



We know that, to come to the right conclusion regarding the value of the testing 



race, the principal condition is to have the testing-subject from right source. So 



if one wishes to test Caucasian bees he must be assured he is testing pure Caucasians. 



In order to furnish pure stock of Caucasian bees, last summer we imported 

 numbers of Caucasian breeding queens direct from Caucasus from the best breeders 

 that there are in that country. From the best of these imported queens we are now 

 raising young ones for the market on a large scale, and we make very reasonable 

 prices, wishirg to give the opportunity to every one to have them. 



California with its high mountains and deep canyons gives us the opportunity 

 of having isolated places for the special yards for Caucasian bees. 



We sell only tested queens, and we guarantee the purity of the race. 



Also we have procured several Italian breeding queens from the principal 

 American breeders, and we have large quantities of three and five banded Italian 

 queens of the best honey-gatherers. 



Our method of raising is up to date. The man who manages this business has 

 spent thousands of dollars and years of time in studying the matter up. He is well 

 acquainted with the best apicultural establishments in both Europe and America, 

 and was for two years with the famous A. I. Root Company.
