Untested Italian Queen-Bees 



$4.00 for 6 queens; $2.10 for 3; or 75c for 



For a number of yaars we have been sending out to bee-keep- 

 ers exceptionally fine 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 Tliey Say of Our Queens 



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

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

 1 introduced them among black bees, and the bees are nearly yellow now, 

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



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



♦** 



GEORGE W. YoPK & Co.:— After importing queens for 15 years you have 

 sent me the best. She keeps 9X Langstroth frames fully occupied to dale, 

 and, altliough 1 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 

 How lasts this week. CHAS. Mitchell. 



Ontario, Canada, July 22, 1905. 



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

 one, and has given me some of my best colonies. N. P. OGLS8BT. 



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



Georgb W.York & Co.:— The queen Ireceivsd of youafew days ago 

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

 introduced her into a colony which had been queenless for 20 days. She 

 was accepted by them, and has gone to work nicely. 1 am highly pleased 

 with her and your promptness in filling my order. My father, who is an old 

 bee-keeper, pronounced her very flne. You will hear from me again when I 

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



Marion Co., 111., 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-esge. You 

 cannot do better than to get one or more of our fine Standard-Bred Queens.
