How Moore's strain of Italians roll in the 

 honey down in Texas. 



HuTTO, Tex., Nov. 19, 1902. 



J. P. Moore.— Dear Sir:— I wish to write you 

 id reg-ard to queens purchased of you. I could 

 have written sooner, but I wanted to test them 

 thoroughly and see if they had those remarka- 

 ble 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 g^et honey where 

 others are idle or trying to rob; and for g-entle- 

 ness of handling, I have never seen the like. 

 Friend E. R. Root 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 out-apiaries next 

 spring with your queens. 



Yours truly, Henky 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.

 improving, at 15@16j for fancy white comb; 

 14SilSc for No. 1; 13@14c for No. 2. Production 

 of honey in this vicinity is very light. This

 more this season than ever. Extracted honey, 

 'IdplUc for white; 6(a 6!^c for mixed and buck- 

 wheat. Beeswax, 28(oj30c. H. R. Wright.

HlLDRETH & SeGELKEN. 



Cincinnati. Sept. 18.— The extracted honey 

 market has weakened a little as white clover 

 is offered quite plentiful; prices of sales I made 

 ruled as follows: Amber, in barrels, S@5S^c; 

 water-white alfalfa, 6(a'65^c; fancy whiteclover,

Most of the comb on market is of small lots, 

 and while being very steadily held, fails to 

 move as readily or to as good advantage as 

 would straight carload lots of uniform and 

 high grade. Extracted is in high request, with 

 offerings of only moderate volume, and market 

 firm at prevailing values.
