Jonesboro, Ark., Oct. 7, 1902 



Mr. Atclilej', Sir: — The queen I got of you in 

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

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

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

 140 pounds from one colony; and the queen I got 

 of yon swarmed five times and the first swarm 

 swarmed five limes, and the original colony atid 

 the first swarm, each stored 2S pounds of honey; 

 .so yon see I have 11 colonies from one, and 56 

 pounds of honey. I consider this extra for one 

 qtieen and colonj'; in fact,, it beats anything I 

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

 otit eight queen cells and made swarms, and 

 .some of them made 56 pounds of honey. If any 

 o'' you scientific 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.
