A Few Testimonials 



F- A. Lockhart & Co..— Last Friday I was in the 

 New York office of The A. I. Root Co., and saw a three- 

 frame nucleus of Carniolan bees with queen, which 

 they had just received from you. They were the fin- 

 est Carniolans I ever saw, entirely free from any 

 trace of yellow markings, and 1 at once bought them, 

 though the Root people were not very anxious to sell 

 them. 1 am writing you to-day to ask if you can ship 

 me at once a three-frame nucleus of Carniolans with 

 plenty of drone-brood. Send hy express to me at 

 Columbia University. — J. H. McGregor, Dept. of Zool- 

 ogy, Columbia University, New York, June 17, 1905. 



F A Lockhart & Co .-—Enclosed you will find 75 

 cts. for one untested Carniolan queen. If this queen 

 proves to be as good as the first Carniolan queen 1 

 bought of you i will feel more than satisfied, for that 

 queen was wurth $100 to me. I put her in a hive that 

 was full of moths and worms, and only a handful of 

 bees or so; and as soon as her bets took possession 

 the moths and worms had to get, and the next year 

 they did finely. I am always ready to speak a good 

 word for your strain of Carniolans. — Walter Hemple, 

 Bagley, Wis., July 25, 1905. 



F- A. Lockhart & Co.:—Mv. T. C. Stanton won first 

 premium at the New York State Fair with the Carni- 

 olans you sent him, and I will add that your strain of 

 Carniolans has won ail the first premiums at the 

 New York State Fair for many years. Where I showed 

 your strain of Carnolians I won, and where I showed 

 some other strains of Carniolans I lost.— S. D. House, 

 Camillus, N. Y., Sept. 22, 1905. 



F. A. Lockhart & Co., Lake George, N. Y.
