Black Rock, N. Y., Sept. 3, I'K)!. 

 Friend Ernest:— I will try and tell you what you want to know about that queen. I got 

 her of you in 1899 as a premium with GLEANINGS. I never saw a small colony of bees build up 

 as that one did. In the spring- of l^fK) they came out in fine shape, wintered perfect. I raised them 

 up in May and g^ave them 8 frames more so the queen would not want for room. I never saw such 

 a colony of bees as Ihey were in June, and they were actually storing- honey when other bees in 

 my yard were starving. No! they were not robbing. I never saw those two best colonies of mine 

 trying to rob. THEY CERTAINLY WORK ON RED CLOVER. This is no guesswork, as I 

 have seen them. As you know, the past two seasons have been very poor, and what honey my 

 bees did get in 1900 caudied soon after cold weather set in. I packed this colony in a chaff hive 

 and left them out, thinking that such a strong colony would winter perfect. The snow came on 

 the middle of November, and those poor bees never a fly until the last of March or the first of 

 April. When warm weather at last came I thought they were dead, as they did not seem to be fiy- 

 iug much, so I did not pay any attention to them until in June. I noticed they were working a 

 little, so I opened up the hive and found them in the upper story. I took the lower story out and 

 left them in the one body. The queen was laying nicely, and I thought they would make a good 

 colony to winter. Along the last of J aly I noticed that they needed more room. I gave them a 

 super, 24 bcxes, and iu a few days they had it full. They have made 72 boxes of as nice honey as 

 you ever saw, and are drawing out some starters now, Sept. 2- 



Very truly yours, Geo. B. Howe.
