/ "; whose picture appears alongside, has an article m 



\ the Bee-keepers' Review for April, telling how 



to prevent both natural swarming and increase, yet 



get the best results in comb-honey production. It 



is a modification of, or addition to, slowly swarming, 



wherein the young bees, as they hatch in the old 



colony, are transferred to the shook swarm on the 



old stand, thus keeping that booming and piling up the comb honey. 



Send ten cents for this number, and with it will be sent two other late but different 

 issues, and the ten cents may apply on any subscription sent in during the year. A cou- 

 pon will be sent entitling the sender to the Review one year for only 90 cents.

Warranted to give satisfaction, those are the kind reared by Qulrin=the=Oueen=Breeder. We guarantee 

 every queen sent out to please you, or it may be returned inside of (30 days and another will be sent 

 "gratis." Our business was established in 1888, our stock originated from the best and highest-prict d 

 Long-tongued Red=cIover Breeders in the U. S. We send out fine queens, and send them promptly. 

 We guarantee safe delivery to any State, continental island, or European Country. 



The A. I. Root Co. tells us that our stock is extra fine, while the editor of the American Bee Journal 

 saj^s that lie has good reports from our stock, from time to time. Dr. J. I,. Gandy, of Humboldt, Nebr., 

 savs that he secured over JOO pounds of honey {mos'.ly comb), from single colonies containing our queens. 



A FEW TESTinONiALS. 



P. F. Meritt, of No. 13 Breckenridge St., Lex- 

 ington, Ky.. writes: The bees sent me last Juh- 

 did splendidly. Each colony has at least 75 lbs. 

 of honey — pretty good for two-frame nuclei. 



Mr. J. Roorda' of Demotte, Ind.. wri'cs: Send 

 me six more queens, the -18 .sent me last spring 

 are hustlers. 



Mr. Wm. Smiley, of Glasgow, Pa , writes: 

 Your bees beat all the rest, now send me a breed- 

 er of the same kind. 



A. Norton, Jlonterev, Calif., writes: Your stock 



excels the strain of ilr. , which is said to 



outstrip all others. Your stock excels in profit- 

 able results as well as in beauty.

Extra Selected Tested— the best 



that money can buy 



Two-frame Nuclei, no Queen 



Add the price of whatever queen is wanted to thr-t 

 of nuclei. Our nuclei build up fast, and if not pur- 

 chased too late will make some surplus. 



Oueen-rearino- is our specialty; we give it our undivided attention, and rear as many queens (perha- s 

 more) as any breeder in the North. No order is too large for us, as we keep 300 to 500 on hand ready 

 to mail. Send all orders to

PERFECT QUEENS 



Until further notice, to keep up with orders for 

 Golden queens from old customers who find them to 

 be splendid workers, I shall discontinue the other 

 yards. I can send Holy Lands and Carniolans mated 

 in this yard at the same prices. These are good cross- 

 es. Untested queens, $1.00 each ; tested, SI. 25. A few 

 choice breeders, $2..'j0 each.
