THE AMERICAN AFICULTURIST. 



THE GOLDEN CARXIOLANS. 



This race of bees seems to be giving 

 good satisfaction. Of tlie four hundred 

 and more golden Carniolans shipped in 

 the season of 1891, as yet not one un- 

 favorable report has been received of 

 them. TheV are a large, beautiful, m- 

 dustrious and docile strain of bees. 

 Even this year, I am selling two golden 

 Carniolan queens to all others, includ- 

 ing the Funics. 



I shall rear about 600 more golden 

 Carniolan queens for sale the present 

 season. In order to give all a chance 

 to try them, the price will be as follows 

 the balance of the season : 

 One queen, by mail, 

 One queen and the Api, i yr 

 Six queens, 

 Twelve queens. 



These (jueens shall be large, of a 

 beautiful golden color ; worker progeny 

 well marked and very handsome ; in 

 fact I guarantee these queens to be 

 perfect and satisfactory in all respects. 



I shall be prepared Aug. 5 to ship 

 promptly by return mail. 



Those who desire to try these bees 

 can do so by sending us orders as per 

 prices. Prices of queens producing 

 five-banded bees and queens reared 

 from our famous strain of Italians, will 

 remain tl-.e same as given in \)ncQ list. 

 Now is a good time to requeen your 

 colonies having old queens.

Now, in order to introduce the Fu- 

 nics and give all a cbance to test them, 

 I will fill orders for the balance of the 

 season at $1 each. There is likely to 

 be a big demand for these queens, at 

 this price, and in order not to be called 

 a swindler and fraud if orders are not 

 filled by return mail, will state here so 

 that all will understand, that all orders 

 will be filled in rotation, and as promptly 

 as possible. 



Furthermore, I guarantee that all 

 these queens s'-.all be mated to pure Fu- 

 nic drones, but I will not guarantee that 

 a 1 will produce t\pical Punic bees. 



I have found that it is a very hard 

 matter to produce absolutely pure Funic 

 queens. There will be a few yellow 

 banded bees from a majorhy of the 

 queens. This will do no harm. 



I ship you these qut ens at one dollar 

 each, and you must take your chances 

 as to purity. If there is any other 

 trouble with the queens I will replace 

 them, as I guarantee everything satisfac- 

 tory but purity. 



If anyone desires to examine one of 

 our new drone-traps, the same as is used 

 in the perfection self-hiver, one will be 

 mailed on the receipt of sixty-five cents. 

 If desirable to use as a self-hiver, just 

 make a box as per description in July 

 Api. I want every reader of the APi to 

 use one of these traps. If not entirely 

 satisfactory, the money paid for them 

 will be returned. 



If any reader of the Api desires to 

 examine my self-hiver, as well as a 

 drone-trap that will catch and destroy 

 all drones as soon as they attemjjt to 

 leave the hive, send $1.50 and get both 

 the above by express. Bear in mind 

 that the trap used in this swarmer can 

 be used in the self-hiver, or separately 

 as a drone-trap. This is a feature no 

 other swarmer possesses. 



If you desire to test our Italians, yel- 

 low Carniolans and Punic bees, one 

 queen of each race will be sent for ^3, 

 and the Api for one year besides. Now 

 here is more for the small sum of $3 

 than can be had of any other dealer in 

 the world.
