 Bees and Queens for 1907

 book orders for 1907 at the following prices: Each, 55c; 

 $6.00 per dozen; $45.00 per 100. Also eggs to hatch.

Golden Italians 



The yellow-all-over kind. 



Book all your orders before the rush 

 comes, and you will be sure to get your 

 queens on time. 



I rear queens from select mothers only. 



I am situated on an island that is en- 

 tirely Italianized, and pure mating is 

 practically insured. 



My stock originally came from the best- 

 known queen-breeders in the country. 



I will begin April 1st and fill orders 

 in rotation. 



Satisfaction guaranteed.

James Island, South Carolina 



Better tHan 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 >f ■<^ I consider the Banat Cau- 

 casian bees the best and gentlest in the world. Banat 

 Caucasian bees are bred here: other races in out- 

 yards. Queen-breeders should secure their breeding- 

 queens from this pure stock. Order now. Banat 

 Caucasian queen, $3.00. Caucasian queen, $1.50. 

 Golden Italian, 75c. Tested queens, one year old, 

 double these prices.

I will sell my choice Red-clover queens at 75 cts. each;

 guaranteed to produce bees that work on red clover.
