 bees. The best queens fill their hives with brood. The 

 best bees fill their supers with honey. Every bee- 

 keeper knows this, but does not know that our strain

How Moore's strain of Italians roll in the honev 

 down in Texas 



Hutto, Texas, Nov. 19, 1902, 

 ./. 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 thoroughlj- and 

 see if they had those remarkable qualities of a three- 

 banded Italian bee. I must confess to you I am more 

 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: aii'l tor gentle- 

 ness of handling. I have never seen the like. P'riend 

 )•',. R. R -ot 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 yut-apiaries next 

 tpring with your 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.
