and their numerous expressions of the superiority of my queens war- 

 rant me in continuing the arrangement of my queen apiaries in 1902 

 as in 1 901. I have watched carefull}^ and have selected the queens 

 whose colonies gave me the best results in HONEY, for my queen 

 and drone mothers. 



Yard No. 1 consists of a combination of the Root Long-Tongued Clover Stock, the Supe- 

 rior Stock so much Advertised by Hutchinson, and a Selection of My Own Stock that I have been Breed- 

 ing for years, in regard to wliicli I liave the following-: 



Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 31, 1901. 

 My Dear Victor: — Queen and nucleus arrived safely yesterday; made 

 entrance to nucleus and allowed them to fly yesterday. Transferred them to 

 a Dovetailed hive this morning, icitliout sinoke, and handled them, patting 

 them on the baclz, and I never saw such quiet and docile bees. If their work- 

 ing qualities are as superior as their handling, I am prepared to say you 

 have the best bees I have ever met with, which would include some 25 or 30 

 different breeders, and all the well-known races. 



Yours very truly, Orel L. Hershiser. 



The colony of one of the queens I have selected for a breeder in this yard gathered 

 right about 400 pounds of honey last season. I have not measured her bees' tongues, but they 

 are ALL RIGHT, LONG OR SHORT. 



Yard No. 2 consists of imported Italians, daughters and granddaughters. For 

 further description see ad. later. Testimonials on application.
