THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



Oueens KOU Should Have. imperial strain of Red 



Does blood tell in other stock? Why not in bees? 

 stock used for breeding the queens" offered, not 

 from a sport— but my pick out of an apiary giv- 

 ing, last season, an average .\ ield of 102 lbs. ex- 

 tracted, and 60 lbs. comb honey, per colonj-. be- 

 sides increase and winter-.stores. 



Quality of comb honev produced: "Man! it 

 would dazz e you." Wm. McEvoy, Onta io, Gov- 

 ernment Inspector of Apiaries. 



Wintering Qualities: "Up to the present, 

 Jan. 30, these bees have not shown the least un- 

 rest; always quiet. They are wintering per- 

 fectly." Frank T. Ad ms. 



General Commendation: "Out of (he 

 queens you .sent me. I hhve produced the best 

 .strain of bees I ever owned. Rem mber, that is 

 saying a lot, as I have tried everv breed imported 

 to this country. The bees winter better, build 

 up and stand the cold chilly win is in the sprii g, 

 and are more suitable than any bees I ever 

 owned. For the season the.v gave m ■ more in- 

 crease, aud double the honey stored by pure 

 Ital a s. Glad you are going into the tjueen 

 busines , and are going to join our ranks again. 

 We are much n need of a few men like you." 

 C. W. Post, ex-president of Ontario Be -Keepers' 

 Association, an 1 owner of 365 colonies. 



S. T. Pettit, Canada's most successf il c mb 

 honey produc -r, and bee-keeper, says; "The 

 blood in my apiary is largely the progeny of 

 que ns sent by you. They are gran I bees."

Freewater, O e. Jan. 9, 1902. 

 Mr. A. D. D. V\ OOD 



Dear Sir: — I wish to say that the 12 

 quee s you sent me by mail came in the most ex- 

 cellent condition from their long journey. For 

 the past two weeks their offspring have been 

 flying quite freely. They did excellent work the 

 last part of the season, while for color and gen- 

 tleness they are not excelled in this country. I 

 have been in the bee business for 20 years and 

 I praise them above all bees I ever handled I 

 realize I cannot recommend them too high y. 

 Yours Respectfully, C G. Rogers. 



Now friends you can have just such queens. 

 Hundreds of good bee-keepers got them last 

 season. You ought not to be without your share. 



The price will be, in June, 5100 for on« untest- 

 ed; 12 for 510.0D. Tested, 52.00 each; or, 12 for 

 520.00. After July i, 75c for one nnle^ted, or 5i.,so 

 for one tested.

Why handle sections twice over ^ 

 when by the use of the Rauchfuss, ^ 

 Combined '4.

and I'oundation P'astener, you can 

 put the sections together and fill 

 them with foundation all at one 

 operation. You can see a picture 

 of this machine on page 51 of the 

 Feb. Review, and you can get a 

 complete description, together 

 with the testimonials of prominent
