 I ll£ll 1 llrcl Jt ^^^ ^^^^ before April 15 of the present season. " Dear Sir.-'-The queen I 



• ^*«»» V purchased of you last fall has already ^iven 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. Sai^azer. 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 ^C 

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

Try the Robey strain of three-banded Italians that 

 have become so famous all over the country as honey- 

 gatherers. W. L. Coggshall and E. W. Alexander

 tracting they IIIILL lU V. ^l^a-ys found

 Many of the largest honey-producers of this and 

 other countries use the Robey queens and pronounce 

 their bees high-rollers for honey. Warranted queens, 

 75 cts. each, $4.25 for six. Full colonies, with 

 queen, $4.00 each. Safe arrival and satisfaction guar-

QUEENS of 



MOORE'S STRAIN OF ITALIANS 



Produce workers that fill 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- 

 view, Flint.Mich. , says : " As workers, I have never seen 

 them equaled. They seem possessed of a stea4y, 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, 75c each; six, $4; doz., 

 $7 50. Select, untested, $1.00 each; six, $5; doz., $9.00.
