Better tKan an Island 



This place is just as good as an island for breeding 

 queens, for there are no other bees within five 

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

 than an island when you order queens, for the fastest 

 trains stop here, and hence (lueens are not away from 

 the colony long enough to impair their usefulness. 

 Safe introduction is guaranteed if you follow my spe- 

 cial directions. >9 ^ ^ The best bees known are 

 the Banat Caucasians. The gentlest bees known ai-e 

 the Caucasians. The nicest bees known are the Gold- 

 en Italians. Banat Caucasian queen, $3.00; Caucasian

Wm. S. Slocum, Newport, R, I., writes: "My friend, 

 W. O. Sweet, West Mansfield, Mass., asked me about 

 two vears ago where he could get good queens, and I 

 referred him to you. To-day he called on me and 

 said he noticed the colonies with your queens were 

 storing much faster than others. He went immedi- 

 ately to his red-clover field, and saw bees working 

 there freely."
