GLEANINGS IN BEE C17.TURE. 



Sept. 1 



Better tKan an Island 



This place is just as good as an island for breeding- 

 queens, tor there are no other bees within five 

 miles, and so pure mating is guaranteed. It is better 

 than an island when you order ciueens, for the fastest 

 trains stop here, and hence queens are not away from 

 the colony long enough to impair their usefulness. 

 Safe introduction is guaranteed if you follow my spe- 

 cial directions. '^ '^ V^ The best bees known are 

 the Banat Caucasians. The gentlest bees known are 

 the Caucasians. The nicest bees known are the Gold- 

 'en Italians. Banat Caucasian queen, $3.00; Caucasian 

 queen. i^.oO; Golden Italian queen. 7.5 ets.

MOORE'S - STRAIN - OF - ITALIANS 



as Red-elover Workers 



W.T.Davison, Velpen, Ind., says: "When other 

 bees are loafing, your bees go to work on red clover, 

 and they seem to have a kind of get-up about them 

 that tne other bees don't have. They have never 

 never failed to work on red clover, and many times I 

 have found them on it when there was plenty of 

 white clover.''
