LONG-TONGUED QUEENS! 



YARD NO. I. 



By special arrangements with THE A. I. ROOT 

 CO. to furnish them queens, I have secured iheir 

 assistance in procuring the finest breeding queens 

 that a thorough knowledge of the bees of the 

 country and money can procure. Among them 

 is a select daugh/er of their $200 queen that they re- 

 fuse to quote me prices on. Thi-> queen shows every 

 superior quality of her mother. Her bees show 

 an actual reach of 21-100 of an inch ; are large, 

 gentle, and beautiful to look unon. 



MR. E. R. ROOT SA VS : "You have as fine 

 bees as there are in the United States ; and with 

 a direct cmss of their breeders you should be 

 able to produce queens whose bees show a reach 

 of 2.5-100 of an inch."
