GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Apr. 1 



In opening my advertisement this season, I wish to thank my many friends for their frequent in- 

 quiries and orders for queens during the absence of my ad. since July last, which was caused by protracted 

 ill-health (rheumatism and indigestion). I am proud to say that I hope I am permanently cured. I am 

 ready with the same old true and tried stock of Italian queens and bees as of old. My queen-mothers in 

 yards No. 1 and 2 are .'erving their fourth year in that capacity, 1900-190o. Their daughters have pleased 

 The A. I. Root Co., W. Z Hutchinson, O. L,. Hershiser, G. M. Doolittle, R. F. Holtermann, F. B. Simpson, 

 and many others prominent in apiculture. In fact every customer has been pleased as far as I have heard. 

 I COUI.D FURNISH HUNDREDS OF THE VERY STRONGEST TESTIMONIAI^S, but space forbids. 

 Practically all the queens that I have sent from these yards were daughters and grand-daughters of the 

 two " Oil Wells," as we often call them. Untested queens, ready April 15, $1.00 each; select untested, $l.2.j 

 each; tested, 82.00; breeders, $S.OO to $7.00. Send for illustrated price list.

My specialty is queen-rearing 

 I rear two strains only — L,ong- 

 • tongue Red-clover Three-banded 

 and the Golden Five - banders 

 that work red clover as well as 

 the three-banders. These two 

 strains are the best bees in this 

 country, all things considered. 

 I furnish more dealers with 

 queens than any other breeder 

 in this country. Why? Because 

 the queens give their customers 

 the best satisfaction I insure all to be purely mated. 

 Untested, 75c each; tested, in April, 81 25— after April, 

 $1.01) each. My former address was Caryville, Tenn., 

 but my queen trade has doubled for several years and 

 I have moved to Texas. Remit by postal money order 

 to Daniel Wurth, Karnes City, Karnes Co., Texas.
