BANAT BEES, from Htin^arsr. 



'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. One untested queen, $1.,50; six for $6.00; twelve 

 for $10.00. Tested, $3.00; best breeder, $5.00.

AfiAAnc iliot DIaOCA ^""^.^S^^l^^y® just for looks." Hear what one of my queens has done, 

 UllCClIzi lllcll rlCcl^C ^"^^ ^^^^ before April 15 of the present season. " Dear Sir:— The queen I 

 '^Mwwaaw mmm'mm m " '^'*"»"^ purchascd of you last fall has already given me over 200 Ibs. of honey this 

 season. I think that is good for so early in the season. Have your bees done as well? M. A. Salazkb, 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 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 OC 

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

Better tHan ar^ 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^ \ consider the Banat bees 

 the best and gentlest in the world. Banat bees are 

 bred here; other races in out-yards. Queen-breeders 

 should secure their breeding-queens from this pure 

 stock. Order now. Banat queen, $2.00. Abhasian 

 queen, $1.50. Golden Italian, 75c. Tested queens, 

 one year old, double these prices.
