RED GLOVER QUEENS

BL.'iCK Rock, N. Y., Sept. 3, 1'501. 

 Fkiend 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. lu the spring- of l'>i)(> they came out in fine shape, wintered perfect. I raised them 

 up in Alay and g-ave Ihem 8 frames more so the queen would not want for room. I never saw such 

 a colony of bees as they were in June, and they were actually storingr 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 candied soon after cold weather set in. I packed this colony in a chaflf 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 fly- 

 ing 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 July I noticed that they needed more room. I gave them 

 super, 24 boxes, and in 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.
