BEES 

 QUEEN BEES 



We have imported this past 

 season some of the finest colo- 

 nies of Golden Italian Bees ever 

 brought to this country, and in- 

 sure a pure strain b)' having 

 secured control of all the bees- 

 within flying distance of our apiary. We find,, 

 after giving the subject careful study, that the 

 best strains of bees for gathering honey are the 

 Imported Italians. We have also secured some of 

 the best Five Banded Italians we could secure, bred 

 in this country, and we cross these directly with 

 the imported mother, making our queens beautiful 

 golden to the tip, and her bees the best honey 

 gatherers in the world. They enter the sections 

 readily, are quiet and not inclined to swarm. We 

 offer them at the following prices, which are very 

 low, considering the quality of bees we produce:
