$4.00 for 6 queens; $2.10 for 3; or 73c for 



^%y Italian Q»66n-B66 



For a number of years we have been sending out to beekeep- 

 era exceptionally line Untested Italian Queens, purely mated, and 

 all right in every respect. Here is what a few of those who re- 

 ceived our Queens have to say about them : 



What They Say of Our Queens 



George W. York & Co. :— The two queens received of you some time 

 ago are fine. They are good breeders, and the workers are showing up fine. 

 I introduced them among black bees, and the bees are nearly yellow nowi 

 and are doing good work. A. W. Swan. 



Nemaha, Co., Kan., July 15, 1905. 



George W. Yohe & Co.:— After importing queens for 15 years you have 



sent me the beat. She keeps 9X 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 pounds of honey if the 

 flow lasts this week. CHAS. MITCHELL. 



Ontario, Canada, July 22, 1905. 



George W. Yobk & Co.:— The queen I bought of you has proven a good 

 ODe, and has given me some of my best colonies. N. P. 06LS8BY. 



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



Georgb W.York & Co.:— The queen I received of you a few days ago 

 came througli O.K., and 1 want to say that she is a beauty. I immediately 

 introduced ber into a colony which had beeu queenless for 20 days. She 

 was accepted by them, and has gone to work nicely. I am highly pleased 

 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 me again when ] 

 am in need of something in the bee-line. E. B. MCCOLM. 



Marion Co., III., July 13. 



We usually begin mailing Queens in May, and continue there- 

 after, on the plan of '^ first come first served." The price of one 

 of our Untested Queens alone is 75 cents, or with the monthly 

 American Bee Journal one year — both for $1.20, Three Queens 

 (without Journal) would be $2.10, or 6 for $4.00. Full instructions for introducing are sent 

 with each Queen, being printed on the underside of the address-card on the mailing-cage. You 

 lannot do better than to get one or more of our fine Standard-Bred Queens.
