The Bee and Honey Co., Beeville, Bee Co., Texas CAUCASIANS The Wonderful Bees of Russia; the Coming Race for the Timid Apiculturist. We've gone to considerable time and expense in equipping an absolutely pure Caucasian breeding-yard, far away from all other bees, and shall rear this race during the coming season with as much pains and care as we have for years our Imperial strain of Golden-all-over bees, now of world-wide reputation and circulation. At this writing we have 32 strong colonies of pure Caucasians, all nicely packed for winter, and shall be ready to breed them in their purity early in the spring. At the present time there are three direct imported Caucasian queens in America, and we are the owners of one. As far as we know, we are the only breeders who made any attempt to preserve the seed of this race in its absolute purity outside of the National Government. There is now furious war raging in that part of Russia known as Caucasus, and it will be some time before any further importation of Caucasian bees can possibly be made from their native land. Our imported queen is at the head of a powerful colony, and there is no doubt of her wintering well-all queens will be reared from her eggs, and mated in a remote yard, where drones from at least 30 pure Caucasian colonies are in full flight daily.

Our ad. has been standing in Gleanings now for many years, and in twenty-five years we have learned a great deal that is helpful both to ourselves and to our customers. We have sent bees to all parts of our civilized world, and we have testimonials quite sufficient to fill Gleanings. We have long since abandoned the babynuclei plan of queen-rearing, and now raise our cells in full strong and rousing colonies, and mate queens in three-frame nuclei, of standard Langstroth-size frames; and this alone has increased our queen trade with wonderful rapidity among practical bee-keepers. We have our mating-yards from five to twenty miles apart, and we get satisfactory mating, which is another strong point. We raise threeband Italians, Carniolans, Holy Lands, Cyprians, Albinos, and Goldens, and use good drones in mating-yards. We can not think of any thing else that would be likely to convince the readers of Gleanings that we send out good stock at the following low prices: Untested queens, $1.00 each; $4.25 for six, or $8.00 per dozen. Tested queens, $1.50 each. Breeders, $2.00 to $5.00 each. We make an extra selection of any queens for 50 cts. extra. Safe arrival of all queens and bees guaranteed to U. S., Canadian, and Mexican points. We make a specialty of bees by pound. nuclei, and full colonies. Prices on application. We fill carload orders; in fact, we are queen and bee merchants and will fill your orders for what you want.

A Few Testimonials F. A. Lockhart & Co.:-Last Friday I was in the New York office of The A. I. Root Co., and saw a threeframe nucleus of Carniolan bees with queen, which they had just received from you. They were the finest Carniolans I ever saw, entirely free from any trace of yellow markings, and I at once bought them, though the Root people were not very anxious to sell them. I am writing you to-day to ask if you can ship me at once a three-frame nucleus of Carniolans with plenty of drone-brood. Send by express to me at Columbia University.-J. H. McGregor, Dept. of Zoology, Columbia University, New York, June 17, 1905. F A Lockhart & Co.:-Enclosed you will find 75 cts. for one untested Carniolan queen. If this queen proves to be as good as the first Carniolan queen 1 bought of you I will feel more than satisfied, for that queen was worth $100 to me. I put her in a hive that was full of moths and worms, and only a handful of bees or so; and as soon as her bees took possession the moths and worms had to get, and the next year they did finely. I am always ready to speak a good word for your strain of Carniolans.-Walter Hemple, Bagley, Wis., July 25, 1905. F. A. Lockhart & Co.:-Mr. T. C. Stanton won first premium at the New York State Fair with the Carniolans you sent him, and I will add that your strain of Carniolans has won all the first premiums at the New York State Fair for many years. Where I showed your strain of Carnolians I won, and where I showed some other strains of Carniolans I lost.-S. D. House, Camillus, N. Y., Sept. 22, 1905. F. A. Lockhart & Co., Lake George, N. Y.
