CARNIOLANS our SPECIALTY 



■\\7E HAVE been breeding this wonderful race of 

 yy bees for over twenty years, and during all this 

 time we have been >t!aking very careful selec- 

 tions, and we now claim to have one of the best 

 and purest races of Carniolan bees in this country. 



They are very gentle, hardy, and prolific; the best of 

 workers; they come out of winter quarters healthier 

 and stronger in bees; they build up very rapidly in the 

 spring, are great comb-builders, and their sealed combs 

 are of snowy whiteness. 



Also Breeders of GololeTi and 



L.'e&tHer Italians 



No foul brood or other bee- diseases here. Bees and 



queens guaranteed to arrive in good condition at your 



postoffice in the United States or Canada. Descriptive 



price list free. 



PRICES. -Untested queen, 75c; six, $3.90: doz., $7.00. 

 Tested, $1.25. Beat breeding, $2 50. Best imported,

 us, $1.50; three-L.-frame nucleus. $2.00. Add price of 

 queen wanted to nucleus. Special prices quoted ©n 

 large orders to dealers. 



Banater Bees from Hungary 

 This wonderful new race of bees takes the lead over 

 all other races, all points considered, that we have seen. 

 The three colonies we are testing are strong in bees; do 

 not offer to swarm; are great honey-gatherers; build 

 snowy white combs, and arc very gentle; in fact, no 

 ?moke is needed to handle them. They resemble the 

 Carniolans in color, though somewhat darker. We have 

 never seen a race of bees with so many desirable qual- 

 ities. We shall breed a limited number of queens for 

 sale, and have started a. queen-rearing apiary five miles 

 from other bees, and expect to have laying bees ready 

 to mail by July 15. Price $5.00 each. Pure mating and 

 safe arrival guaranteed.
