GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



June 15 



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

 apianes, 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 m any quantities, large or small, from one to a thousand queens. Nuclei and full colonies in season 



on®'" ^'^"t"®'' ^^^ of bees the coming season. 



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