Jonesboro, Ark., Oct. 7, 1902. 



Mr. Atchley, Sir;— The queen I got of you in 

 1901 has proved to be a dandy . The year of igoi 

 was so dry I did not get 200 pounds of honey from 

 100 colonies, but in 1902 I have secured as liigh as 

 140 pounds from one colony; and the queen I got 

 of you swarmed five times' and the first swarm 

 swarmed five times, and the original colony and 

 ihe first swarm, each stored 28 pounds of honey; 

 so you see I have 11 colonies from one, and 56 

 pounds of honey. I consider this extra for one 

 queen and colony; in fact,, it beats anything I 

 have ever seen or heard of. Besides this, I took 

 out eight q\ieen cells and made swarms, and 

 some of them made 56 pounds of honey. If any 

 of you scienlific men have had any queens that 

 would beat this, I would like to hear from you. 

 So you see, my Texas queen, as I call her, is a 

 dandy. I want no better. I think she is as good 

 as the best.
