W. H. Laws says,' 



If there is a queen-breeder who can boast of better stock let him trot out 

 the proof. Testimonials enough to fill this book. Will give you only one. 

 Mr. J. C. King, Washington, D. C, writes, "For two years I have had one 

 of your queens in my apiary. Each season she has given me over 200 lbs. comb honey; last season she actually 

 stored while other colonies starved. I have over twenty strains in my three apiaries, but yours is the best." 



Now is the time to get a fine breeding queen; stock up this fall and double your crop of honey the coming 

 season. Single queen, $1.00; 6 for $5.00. Extra select breeders, $5.00. Safe arrival and satisfaction guaran- 

 teed. W. H. LAWS, Beeville, Bee Co. Texas. 



BREEDING- 

 QUEENS 



AT THIS SEASON OF THE YEAR better 

 queens are bred than at any other. This 

 is natural, as the conditions are most fa- 

 vorable to a high organic development of the 

 queen. For this reason this is the time of times 

 to look around for a breeding-queen of high 

 quality. By watching the performance of a 

 queen now, we are in a good position to judge 

 what she can do. Those who intend to get a 

 new breeder for next season's operation ought 

 to bear this in mind and get in their order for 

 what they will need in ample time. Even if 

 they do not require the queen at once it would 

 be safer and better in every way to order now 

 what is needed. 



Spring compared with summer is a poor time 

 to order select breeding-queens by mail for 

 several reasons, and we advise parties desiring 

 an extra-tine breeder to send their orders now. 

 If desired we will retain the queen till next 

 spring, sending it at the first favorable oppor- 

 tunity. We desire to impress on our customers 

 that it takes careful observation during the 

 height of the breeding season to determine 

 just what a queen is worth as a breeder for 

 producing fancy stock. Prices are as follows: 



Breeding-queen $5.00 



Select Breeding-queen 7.50 



Extra-select Breeding-queen. .10 00 

 Special breeding-queens at $25.00 and up a mat- 

 ter of- correspondence.

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- 

 view, 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, 75c each; six, $4; doz., 

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