Dear Sirs:— Yours of July 24th at hand 

 to-day. In regard to your question in 

 reference to ihe cappings of the honey 

 from these bees I will say that it is 

 simply perfect, beautiful snow-white 

 and every box perfect. 06 one-pound 

 sections now. 1 am quite sure they will 

 All two more supers, which will bring 

 the number up to 144. I would like very 

 much to have you see a few of those sec- 

 tions, and 1 will be glad to send you a 

 few. 



Now, I haven't told you Atx their 

 good qualities yet. I am sure they are 

 by far the most gentle bees to handle I 

 have. 1 could take off the sections with- 

 out smoke or veil without getting stung. 

 There are a lew traits about thi 



are quite remarkable aside from their honey-gathering; they don't seem to want to 



write you ayaln in a few weeks and let you know if they All the 144 ■—
