How Moore's strain of Italians roll in the honey 

 down in Texas 



Hutto, Texas, Nov. 19, 1901. 

 J. P. Moore. — Dear sir: — I wish to write you in re- 

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

 ten sooner, bvit 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 am more 

 surprised every day as I watch them. They simply 

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

 where other.s are idle or trying to rob; and for gentle- 

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

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

 longest tongues ; for they get honey where others 

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

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

 spring 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.
