When a Thing Needs Doing 



NO ^ is the time to do it. How about those worthless 

 queens? Will you tolerate them for another season, 

 when the best of stock can be obtained so readily? 

 Laws' bees and queens are bringing the best of reports. 

 I could fill many pages of testimonials, but give you 

 only one. Mr. T. P. Robinson, of Bartlett. Texas, says: 



"Dear Sir.— The car of bees shipped June 20th are 

 now all safely landed, and I have overhauled the entire 

 lot. The bees are from 25 to 40 per cent better than 

 contract, and you ought to hear my wife's exclamations 

 of delight at seeing those fine yellow bees so quietly 

 nestle between the combs at the very approach of 

 smoke. I can certainly recommend you. . ."

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

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

 two years 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."

CARNIOLANS our SPECIALTY 



\'17E HAVE been breeding this wonderful race of 

 YY bees for over twenty years, and during all this 

 time we have been making very careful selec- 

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



and purest races of Camiolan 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 Golden and 

 I^eatHer Italiax&s 



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. Best breeding, $2.50. Best imported. 



F. A. I^ocKhiart (SI Co.» 



$4.00. One L.-frame nucleus, 75c; two-L.-frame nucle- 

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

 queen wanted to nucleus. Special prices quoted on 

 large orders to dealers. 



Banater Bees from Hun^ar?' 

 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 b<.-'es; do 

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

 snowy-white combs, and are very gentle; in fact, no 

 smoke 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.
