The Long Pole 



knocks the persimmon. The man best prepared out- 

 strips his fellows. The bee with the long tongue can 

 reach the /loney the short-tongued bee can't get. My 

 bees are long-tongued, large vigorous, good workers, 

 and gentle. Queens are »1 00 each; tested, 81.50; se- 

 lected, 82 00; breeding, 83.00 and up; latter tested for 

 tongue-reach, I'ffti to yj^'^ inch, E. R Root's method. 



I,ast August Mr Morrow bought queens from 8 of 

 the most prominent queen breeders. He writes: " I 

 put the second queen you sent me in a two-story hive 

 last Saturday , and she is now laying in 10 frames, has 

 an immense colony of bees, and they are gathering 

 more honey than any colony I ever had in the yard. 

 I would not take 825 for the colony."— Wm. H. Mor- 

 row, 719 Temple Court, Atlanta, Ga. May 1, 1901.
