/\__ _ _ _- _ aL —a r|l/^o*»/fc ^^^ ^^^ always " just for looks." Hear what one of my queens has done, 

 IlllPPnx Tllfll ■ IcdSc ''^^'^ ^^^^ before April 15 of the present season. " Bear Sir:— The queen I 

 X *■•«** ■ ■*'*•''*' purchased of you last fall has already given me over 200 lbs. of honey this 



season. I think that is g-ood for so early in the season. Have your bees done as well? M. A. Salazeb, Fal- 

 furrias, Texas." I breed the Leather or Red-clover stock of Italians; also the Holy Land and Carniolan races 

 in separate yards. Of the Red-clover ^tock I can safely say there are none better. T have a few left of those 

 extra-tine breeding queens. If you are going to requeen your apiaries, one of these breeders will be of untold 

 value. Remember, I place a guarantee behind every Laws queen. Price of queens each, $1.00; sixfor$5.i.C 

 Breeding queens, $3.00 to $10.00. Circulars free. W. H. LAWS, Beeville, Bee County, Texas.

Better tHan an Island 



This place is just as good as an island for breeding 

 queens, for there are no other bees within five 

 miles, and so pure mating is guaranteed. It is better 

 than an island when you order queens, for the fastest 

 trains stop here, and hence queens are not away from 

 the colony long enough to impair their usefulness. 

 Safe introduction is guaranteed if you follow my spe- 

 cial directions. »? >J' >? I consider the Banat Cau- 

 casian bees the best and gentlest in the world. Banat 

 Caucasian bees are bred here; other races in out- 

 yards. Queen-breeders should secure their breeding- 

 queens from this pure stock. Order now. Banat 

 Caucasian queen, $3.00. Caucasian queen, $1.50. 

 Golden Italian, 75c. Tested queens, one year old, 

 double these prices.
