'T'HIS is our 22nd year in breeding this race of 

 ••• bees, and, by careful selection, we claim to 

 have the finest Line-Bred Carniolans to be had. 

 They are very gentle, hardy, prolific, great honey- 

 gatherers, and builders of white combs. We have 

 wintered 500 queens for early orders. One untested 

 queen, $1.00: six for $.5.00: 12 for $SVOO. Tested, $1.50: 

 best breeder, $:3.00; best imported, $.5.00. Golden and 

 leather Italians same price. One L-frame nucleus, 

 $1.00: two, $1.7.5: three, $2.50. Add price of queen 

 wanted to nucleus. No foul brood here. Bees and 

 ciueens guaranteed to arrive in good condition. 



BANA.T BEES, from Hungary. 



'T'HIS wonderful new race of bees takes the lead 

 ■*• over all others, all points considered. Are great 

 honey-gatherers and builders of very white combs: 

 gather very little propolis: do not breed out of season 

 and use up their honey when none is to be had; are 

 very gentle and quiet on combs: are not inclined to 

 swarm, even with their hives boiling over with bees, 

 but keep right at work while other races are swarm- 

 ing. We consider this race of bees a model one for 

 producing fancy comt honey. Have wintered a choice 

 lot of queens for early orders. One untested queen, 

 $2.00: tested, $5.00: best breeding and imported, $8.00.

Queens that Please 



are not always "just for looks." Hear what one of my queens has done, 

 and that before April 15 of the present season. "' Dear Su':—The queen I 

 purchased of you last fall has already given me over 200 lbs. of honey this 

 season. I think that is good for so early in the season. Have your bees done as well? M. A. SAiiAZER. Pal- 

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

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

 extra-fine 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- six for $5 ^C 

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

 Better tHaxi am 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. ^ ^ ^ 1 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, $l..50. 

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

 double these prices.
