How Moore's strain of Italian roll in the 

 honey down in Texas. 



HuTTO, Tex., Nov. 19, 1902. 



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

 in regard lo 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 

 hooey in." It seems that they g-et honey where 

 others are idle or trying to rob; and for gentle- 

 ness of handling, t 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 mon- than 

 pleased. I will 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.
