Queens that are Queens 



My Adel strain of Golden Italians are a wonder. They 

 gather honey from every honey-producing flower, and 

 are practically non-swarmers. The queens quickly fill 

 ten L. frames with brood, winter in fine condition, and 

 rapidly build up in spring. Testimonials of their good 

 work, with an eight-page leaflet on queen-rearing, free. 

 Best breeding queens, $1.00; half dozen, $5.50; dozen, 

 $10.00. Every trade more than satisfactory. I have the 

 most valuable strain of bees in the world.

The Demand for 



MOORE'S - STRAIN - OF - ITALIANS 



becomes greater each year; the fol- 

 lowing report shows the reason why : 



EXCEL IN STORING CAPACITY 

 B. S. Taylor, a large honey-producer of Perris, Cal., 

 who sent me an order for 75 queens at one time, says: 

 " I have a large apiary mostly of your stock, and I have 

 never in my thirty years' experience, seen so quiet and 

 gentle bees to handle, and in storing capacity they 

 excel any thing I have ever had." ::: ::: ::: 



I am now filling orders by return mail and shall prob- 

 ably be able to do so until the close of the season.

AN - OPEN - LETTER 



The queens I purchased of you last fall have 



proven to be the best 1 ever owned, both for gentleness 

 and good honey-gathering qualities. Some have given 

 three supers of sections, other colonies only one (my 

 old stock). You certainly deserve credit for breeding up 

 such a strain. I have had queens from several of the 

 leading queen-breeders, but yours are by far the leaders. 



Philadelphia, Pa., July 5, 1905. John P. TuLL. 



This is one of our many pleased customers. 

 Are you one? If not, give our Italian queens 

 a trial. You will not be disappointed. Un- 

 tested, 50c; $6.00 per dozen; tested, $1.00.
