 WHAT BEES DO. HEADED BY OUR. QUEENS 



"One swarm made 185 sections of honey and another 296 sections. I am well pleased." — Melvin Wysong, Kimmell, Ind. 

 "Your bees averaged 160 pounds of surplus honey each. I find them not only hustlers, but gentle." — Fred H. May, Meredosia, 111. 

 "I have tried queens from several different places and like yours best of all." — C. O. Board, Alabama, N. Y. 



"We are only one mile from Lake Erie and exposed to high, cold winds; in fact, this is the windiest place along the great lakes. 

 Your bees were able to stand the winter with only an insignificant loss, and we would have no others. As for honey, they averaged 175 

 pounds of extracted surplus, did not swarm, and gave an artificial increase of 30 per cent, which is as fine a record as can be had in 

 this locality, especially when the work is done entirely by amateurs." Name furnished on request. North East, Pa.

That Good Queen 



in your colony that is two years old. Are you going to try her an- 

 other year? Are you going to gamble on your next spring's crop? 

 Probably she has kept your colony booming for two years. If she 

 hasn't you don't want her. If she has Don't keep her. Why? Be- 

 cause she has "exhausted herself." She is no longer a young queen. 

 Next spring s.ie will fail you. Your colony will be weak. And in 

 the spring rush the flow will be over before you can get another. 

 Don't risk your 1919 crop for the sake of 75c. Why not requeen this 

 fall with
