RED CLOVER HONEY=QUEENS. 



Spring Bluff, Wis.. July IR, 1903. 

 The a. I, Hoot Co.. Medina. Ohio. 



Dear Sirs:— I thought I would write 

 you a few lines in regard to the Bed 

 clover Queen 1 trot from you. They 

 haven't swarmed yet this summer, but I 

 have taken 48 sections from them and 

 there is 24 more all ready to come off. 



Just think, 72 nice sections of as nice 

 honey as ever was made, and only July 

 IRlh. It seems as though they will surely 

 fill 48 more. 



1 don't know whether their tongues 



urely such bees are worth 



Clover, but 

 money. 

 I use the 8-frame Jumbo frame.

C. E. Kellogo. Spring Bluff. Wis. 



Dear Sir .—We have yours of July I8th 

 and would be glad to have you advise us 

 by return mail with reference to the 

 capping of the honey. Some parties say 

 the capping from these bees is not 

 white, and we would be glad to have you 

 advise us how your honey is in this re- 

 spect, and oblige, " 



HpRiNG Bluff, Wis.. July 31, 1903. 

 The a. 1. KooT Co.. Medina. Ohio. 



Dear Sirs:— Youra of July 24th at hand 

 to-day. In regard to your question in 

 reference to the cappings of the honey 

 from these bees I will say that it is 

 simply perfect, beautiful snow-white 

 and every box perfect. 96 one-pound 

 sections now. I am quite sure they will 

 hll two more supers, which will bring 

 the number up to 144. 1 would like very 

 much to have you see a few of those sec- 

 tions, and I will be glad to send you a 

 few. 



Now. I haven't told you ALL their 

 good qualities yet. I am sure they are 

 by far the most gentle bees to handle I 



vrlte you again 1 

 they will.
