WoodclifF Queens. 



I will send a Guaranteed 5-Banded Yellow 

 Queen, bred from a Breeder selected from 

 1000 Queens (some producing over 400 lbs. of 

 honey to the colony); or a 3-Banded Italian 

 Leiither-Colored Queen direct from a Breeder 

 Imported from Italy. Oct. '94— at 75c., and 

 a special low price for a quantity. 



My secret is to sell an extra-large amount, 

 which enables me to sell at low prices. Will 

 run this spring 350 Nuclei— have 1 home and 

 4 out apiaries. No Queens superior to my 

 Strain.

Wliat About tlie 5-Banded Bees? 



Qiiery 979.— 1. Have you tried the five 

 banded bees? 

 2. If so, what do you think of them ?— Mass. 



E. France — 1. No. 



P. H. Elwood— 1. No. 



.Tas. A.' Stone — 1. No. 



C. H. Dibbern— 1. No. 



W. G. Larrabee — 1. No. 



Prof. A. J. Cook— 1. No. 



J. M. Hambaugh — 1. No. 



Rev. M. Mahin — 1. I have not. 



Eugene Secor — 1. A little. 2. Judg- 

 ment suspended. 



W. R. Graham— 1. I have. 2. I thlnk 

 they are as good as any, but no better. 



G. M. Doolittle— 1. Yes. 2. They are 

 good, but are only thoroughbred Italians. 



Mrs. L. Harrison— 1. No. 2. I think 

 that the extra bands were gotten up to 

 sell. 



R. L. Taylor— 1. Yes. 2. I think 

 they require further trial before adop- 

 tion. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater— 1 and 2. Yes, and 

 discarded them because they were so 

 cross. 



E. T. Abbott— 1. Yes. 2. They are 

 very pretty, but I do not want them only 

 to sell. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — 1. I have bred 

 them. 2. No better than any well-bred 

 Italians. 



Allen Pringle— 1. No. I don't care 

 much about the bands, if the bees are 

 bouncers to work. 



Dr. 0. C. Miller — 1. Not enough to be 

 thoroughly acquainted with them, be- 

 cause of bad season. 



Chas. Dadant & Son— 1. Yes. 2. They 

 are not so prolific, or so good honey- 

 gatherers as the others. 



Wm. M. Barnum — 1. Not personally. 

 2. I believe utility is to a considerable 

 extent sacrificed to the fancy. 



H. D. Cutting— 2. They are nice to 

 look at, and nice to take to a Fair, es- 

 pecially if the judge doesn't know his 

 business. 



B. Taylor — 1. Yes. 2. I am not im- 

 pressed favorably with them. My own 

 are extremely cross, and they have died 

 badly in winter. 



J. E. Pond — 1. I am the first person 

 who ever gave public notice that 5- 

 banded bees could be produced from the 

 Italians. 2. I think they are beauties, 

 and may or may not excel as workers, 

 etc., depending upon the same conditions 

 that govern bee-rearing generally. Some 

 prove first-class, and some the reverse. 



G. W. Demaree— 1. I am pretty well 

 acquainted with the much-banded bees, 

 and have had quite a number of colonies 

 of them at different times, in the past 

 18 years. They are easily bred to muny 

 bands, by selection. 2. No bees have 

 ever given me better crops of honey 

 than did my finely-bred banded bees. 

 But it is too much 'work to keep them 

 from running back to fewer bands.
