 Queens! 



bia^jfaii»s-.aMffl||n |||iilMI|i| III 



We have been telling j^ou through our advertisements of 

 the superior stock of queens we are furnishing this year, and 

 we have abundant testimony from others corroborating our 

 opinion. Look at the following, which is one of the numerous 

 endorsements received regarding a colony from our place on 

 the Exposition Grounds, with a tested Red-clover Queen.

Buffalo, N. Y.. July 5, 1901. 



The bees are working as I never saw them work before, and already there is over 100 pounds \9f 



of honey in the hive, and all from clover. I am led to believe that long tongues and good working 'i'

Now see this letter from one of the leading queen-breeders 

 of the United States, regarding Root's Red-clover Bees. 



Coronaca, S. C, August 8, 1901. 

 A. I. Root Co., Medina, Ohio. — Your letter in answer to my report on the queens you mailed 

 me last fall was received a few days ago, and you ask for a still further report. I am so well pleast d 

 with them that lam still of the opinion that I want my whole apiary stocked wiih this strain of 

 bees. All of these queens were introduced to nuclei last fall, and this spring while they were quite 

 weak two of them have built up to be as strong as any colony I have ; and one, my special breeder, 

 I have drawn from in order to keep her from building uo so strong, as it is tro iblesome to open up 

 a strong colony to get larvte for queen-raising. I consider the one I am breeding from one of the 

 finest oueens I have ever had in my apiary, and lam introducing her daughters to my colonies 

 every opportunity. J. D. FOOSHE.
