GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Feb. 15 



Now is the Time to Plan 



for the coming season, and you are bound to need queens to replace those th-^t 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 hid bet- 

 ter plan 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 season. 

 I also offer another car of bees the coming season. 



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

 ble distance and time we guarantee safe arrival. Write

Extra Honey Queens 



I am offering to the honey-pi-oducers this year some 

 of the best Italian stock in Southern California. These 

 bees are not only extraordinary honey-gatherers, but 

 are also gentle, and build verj' little brace or burr 

 comb. They will bring in sage honey iong after other 

 stock has stopped working on sage and gone to work 

 on sumac- They arc, in fact, a good bee, and one which 

 I unreservedly guarantee. I sell only one grade — select 

 untested— as I do not sell any queen which is not select.

CAUCASIAN QUEENS! 



Caucasian bees are the gentlest of the PROFITABLE 

 HONEY-PRODUCERS. A trial will convince you. Have 

 your queens, both Caucasians and Italians, bred and 

 mated to order, and then you will have what you want.
