The Thrcc-bandcd 



Long-tongued Strain 



of Italians. 



We are breeding exclusively the above strain of 

 bees, as from years of experience we consider 

 them the best all-round bees that can be had. We 

 have been making, from time to time, very careful 

 selections for the following 



Superior Qualities. 



Honey -gathering, size of bees, non-swarming, 

 docility, uniform markings. 



Our selection of bees awarded diploma at the 

 PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION for being the 

 best bees there. And we guarantee them the 

 equal of any bees anywhere at any price

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 queens are not away from 

 the colony long enough to impair their usefulness. 

 Safe introduction is guaranteed if you follow my spe- 

 cial directions. ^ >f ^ 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. .$1.50; Golden Italian queen, 75 cts.
