How Moore's strain of Italians roll In the 

 honey down in Texas. 



HUTTO, Te.x., Nov. 19, 1902. 



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

 in regard 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 get honey where 

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

 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, 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.

The business for many years conducted by George W. York & Co., 

 at 144 E. Erie St., as agent for The A. I. Root Company's Supplies, is 

 this day transferred to The A. I. Root Company, to be conducted as a 

 Branch Office. All outstanding accounts will be paid George W. York 

 & Co. 



The policy of Branch House will not be changed. We shall continue 

 to serve the interests of bee-keepers to the best of our ability, and to 

 increase our facilities whenever possible for such service. Mr. York 

 will still be in the same office with us.and the benefit of his years of ex- 

 perience with this trade will thus be available. 



Please note change of name to avoid confusion in our work.

STATEMENT BY GEORGE W. YORK & CO. 



■^ To Our Customers AND Friends: ^' 



•5 In transferring back to The A. I. Root Company the bee-supply business which ^• 



r5 '^^ took over from them some years ago, we do so with regret, as we have labored to ^: 



:.£ build up a large and honorable trade in bee-appliances, and value beyond expression 2; 



!^ the generous patronage accorded us during the years. We trust the same will be 1^, 



•^ continued to our successors in the business. ^] 



■5 Please note that this transfer does not in any wise affect our publishing the ^: 



:^ American Bee Journal, or handling bee-books and queens. But we expect from now ^^ 



!^ on to be able to devote more time to the Bee Journal, as for years we have had "too ^. 



■^ many irons in the fire'Mto give it the attention it requires. ^'
