QUEENS of 



MOORE'S STRAIN OF ITALIANS 



Produce workers that till the supers, and are not in- 

 clined to swarm. They have won a world-wide repu- 

 tation for honey-gathering, hardiness, gentleness, etc. 



Mr. W. Z. Hutchinson, editor of the Bee-keepers' Re- 

 ?,•(«(', Flint, Mich. .says: "As workers, I have never seen 

 them equaled. They seem possessed of a steady, quiet 

 determination that enables them to lay up surplus 

 ahead of others. Easier bees to handle I have never 

 seen." 



My queens are all bred from my best long-tongued 

 three-banded red-clover stock (no other race bred in 

 my apiaries), and the cells are built in strong colonies 

 well supplied with young bees. 



PRICES: Untested queens, $1 each; six, $5; doz., $9. 

 Select, untested, $1.25 each; six, $6; doz , $11, 



Safe arrival and satisfaction guaranteed.
