AND BEES 



Golden or Leather Colored Italian, the best that money can buy anywhere. 

 THAT IS WHAT QUIRIN OFFERS YOU. 



Our business was established in 1888, and we know what good stock is. 

 This year our bees in outyards were ready for sections in April; in the fall 

 they fill their brood-nest, and then in the spring they are ready for business. 



We have 450 swarms back of our business, and are now ready to send 

 you queens, nuclei, or full colonies. We warrant every queen sent out. 

 For a dozen good unsolicited testimonials see Gleanings for April or May 1st 

 issue. 



We guarantee safe arrival 

 of queens and bees. For prices, 

 see table to right. Add the 

 price of queen wanted with nu- 

 clei or colonies. 



No order too large, or none 

 too small. Free circulars. 



Queens Go by Return Mail.

I have made a specialty of producing 

 honey for the last 25 years; have pro- 

 duced hundreds of tons of honey, and 

 thousands of queens. Having procur- 

 ed the services of A. E. Titoff , the Rus- 

 sian expert, who has been with The A. 

 I. Root Co. for the last two years, I 

 have concluded to enlarge my business 

 and make a specialty of the queen bus- 

 iness. We have the very best of queens 

 for business— the bees that gathered 

 100,000 lbs. of honey in 1902; also the 

 very best of breeders from all the prin- 

 cipal breeders of the U. S. Untested 

 queens, $1.00; six, $5.00: tested, $1.50; 

 best breeders, $5.00.
