How Moore's strain of Italians roll in the honey 

 down in Texas : 



Hutto, Texas, Nov. 19th, 1900. 

 J.P.^Tooyt'.— DeaiSi}-' — I wish to write you in re- 

 gard to queens purchased of you. I could have writ- 

 ten sooner, but I wanted to test them thorounhly and 

 see if they had those remarkable qualities of a three- 

 banded Italian bee. I mu.st confess to you I am mo'e 

 suiprised everyday as I watch them. They simply 

 '"roll the honey in." It seems that thfy get honey 

 where others are idle or trying to rob; and tor gentle- 

 ness of handling, I have never seen the like Frierd 

 E. R. Root was right when he said your bees have the 

 longest tongues ; for they get honey where others 

 fail. I will express my thanks for such queens. I am 

 more than pleased. I will stock my out-apiaries next 

 spring with j'our queens. 



Yours truly, Henry Schmidt. 



The above is pretty strong evidence that red clover 

 is not the only plant which requires long-tongue bees 

 to secure the greatest quantity of nectar.
