AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL, Hamilton, Illinois 



QUEENS OF QUALITY,, 



The Editor of the BEEKEEPERS* REVIEW and his sons have 1,100 colftnles-'of bees 

 worked for extracted honey. With all those bees working with equal advantag'fe, *11 having 

 the same care and attention, they have an opportunity unexcelled to ascertainlwithout a 

 reasonable doubt, colonies desirable as breeders from a honey producer's standjibiht. Likely, 

 'never in the history of beekeeping, was there a better opportunity to test out the honey 

 getting strain of bees than this. Tl^ink of It, 1,100 colonies with equal show, and a dozen of 

 those colonies storing 250 to 275 pounds of surplus honey this last poor (with us> season, 

 while the average of the entire 1,100 being not more than 40 pounds per colony. We have 

 sent two of our very best breeding queens (their colonies producing 275 pounds surplus each, 

 during the season of 1915) to John M. Davis, and two to Ben. G. Davis, both of Spring Hill, 

 Tenn., and they will breed queens for the Review during the season of 1916, from those four 

 superior honey gathering breeding queens. Those young queens will be mated with their 

 thoroughbred drones. Our stock Is of the three banded strain of Italian, also that of John 

 M. Davis, while Ben. G. Davis breeds that disease resisting strain of goldens, that Is be- 

 coming so popular. 



By this time you are likely thinking that your strain of bees may be improved some by 

 the addition of this superior strain of Review queens and how you can secure one or more 

 of those superior honey gathering queens as a breeder. We will tell you: They will be 

 sold to none except Review subscribers. If you are a paid-in-advance subscriber to the 

 Review for 1916, we will mail you one of the daughters of those famous queens in June for 

 a dollar. If not a subscriber to the Review for 1916, send $1.75 for a year's subscription to 

 the Review and one of those famous young queens. Those queens are well worth two dollars 

 each, compared to the price usually charged for ordinary queens, but we are not trying to 

 make money out of this proposition, only we are anxious to have every subscriber of The 

 Beekeeper (Canadian postage free), a subscriber of the Review, and we are taking: this 

 way to accomplish the object. A few of the very first orders for queens that we receive can 

 be mailed in May. but the majority will not be mailed until June. Orders filled in rotation. 

 Have your order booked early and avoid disappointment. .
