 licited testimonials from those who have had our queens. 



WKat TKey S&,y of Oiar Queens. 



George W. York & Co..— The two q leens received 

 of you some time ago are fine. They are good breed- 

 ers, and the workers are showing up fine. I intro- 

 du 'ed thfm among black bees, and the bees are 

 neai ly yellow now, and are doing good work. 



Nemaha Co., Ks., July 15, 1905. A. V^. Swan. 



George W. York & Co .— After importing queens 

 for fifteen years you have sent me the best. She 

 keeps 9't' Langstroth frames fully occupied to date, 

 and, although I kept the hive well contracted, to 

 force them to swarm, they have never built a queen- 

 cell, and will put up 100 lbs. of honey if the flow 

 lasts this week. Chas. Mitchell. 



Ontario, Canada, July 22, 1905. 



George W. York & Co..— The queen I bought of 

 you has proven a good one, and has given me some 

 of my best colonies. N. P. Oglesby. 



Washington Co., Va., July 22, 1905. 



George W. York & Co..— The queen I received of 

 you a few days ago came through o. k , and I want 

 to say that she is a beauty. I immediately intro- 

 duced her into a colony which had been queenless 

 for twenty days. She was accepted by them, and 

 has gone to work nicely. I am highly plea.-^ed with 

 her and your promptness in filling my order. My 

 father, who is an old bee-keeper, pronounced her 

 very fine. You will hear from ine again when I am 

 in need of something in the bee line
