GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTUTIE.

ueens. 



Quirin-the-Queen-Breeder 



is, as usual, again on hand with his SUPERIOR IMPROVED strain of ITALIAN BEES 

 and queens. The editor of Gleanings, in observing the handling of our bees last fall, re- 

 marked that "such stock is in great demand." Years ago we used to be obliged to buy 

 bees each spring to keep us agoing; but now we sell perhaps a carload each season; get 

 tons of honey, and raise thousands of queens. We have bred our bees for business; they 

 have no superior either side of the ocean. For a dozen testimonials see our full-page adv't 

 in the Dec. 15th number of Gleanings, or ask for circulars.

 much attention and gives far better results.
