^~~"~~^^"^^~^^~^^"^"^'^"^~ J. p. Moore, Morgan, 

 Kv. He has a queen, some of whose bees show a 

 TONGUE-REACH of 23-100 of an inch. Now, please 

 bear in mind that this is not the whole length of the 

 tongue by a good deal. It is the length of that part 

 only which extends beyond the mandibles of the bee, 

 and is, therefore, available in securing nectar from 

 the flowers. There are other ways of measuring that 

 would make these tongues show a measurement of 

 35-100 of an inch, perhaps. This queen is a daughter 

 of The A. I. Root Co. 's 8200 red-clover breeder, and is 

 of the typical leather color. See adv't on page 499.
