 HONEY QUEENS! 



Leather-colored Long-tongues. — I have a breeder 

 for which 825 has been offered and refused. You 

 make no mistake in buying her daughters. 

 They are dandies. 

 Qoldens. — The Laws strain is as good as years of 

 patient selection and breeding can establish.

 workers, with no vindictive traits, easily han- 

 dled, are becoming popular, especially in South. 

 The above races of bees are each bred in separate 

 apiaries, and you can get them in their purity. Am 

 filling all orders by return mail, and I sell at the fol-

How Moore's strain of Italians roll in the honey 

 down in Texas : 



Hutto, Texas, Nov. I9th, 1900. 



J. P. Moore.— Dear Sir: — 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 thoroughly and 

 see if they had those remarkable qualities of a three- 

 banded Italian bee. I must confess to you I amniore 

 surprised every day as I watch them. They simply 

 " roll the honey in." It seems that they get honey 

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

 ness of handling, I have never seen the like. Friend 

 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 your queens. 



Yours truly, Henrv 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.
