GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



HARDY 



Bees of the Superior Stock, furnished by J. V. Moore, 

 of Kentucky, are the best honey-ijatherers that I ever 

 owned. They are trentle — smoke is seldom necessary 

 in handling Ihem, and very little at that. Besides this, 

 they are very hardy — seem to have more than the ordi- 

 nary amount of vitality. We had a very strikintr exam- 

 ple of this the second spriuK that we had bees in North- 

 ern Michieran. About half of our bees were of this 

 strain, and the other half of several different strains. 

 The Moore strain of bees were quiet all winter, con- 

 sumintr very little honey, and coming out in the spring 

 fully as strong as they went in. Then, still further, 

 they "stood up" during the trying weather that fol- 

 lowed after they were set out of the cellar. When col- 

 onies of other strains were dwindling away and suc- 

 cumbing to the cold, these bees held their own; and 

 when the harvest opened up the last of June they cer- 

 tainly were far ahead of all the other bees we had in 

 the North. They were treated the same the previous 



fall, kept in the same cellars, protected and fed the 

 same in the spring, but they came out ahead. It was 

 simply in the breed of the bees. 



We brought 100 queens of Mr. Moore this year to use 

 in making increase. It was not that we did not have 

 just as good stock in our own yards, but we could buy 

 them cheaper than we could rear them. 



Now is the time to buy queens and have them intro- 

 duced and all ready to breed from next spring. I can 

 furnish queens of this strain (they will be sent out by 

 Mr. Moore I at SI. 00 each, or I will send the Review for 

 1909 and 1910 and one of these queens for only $1.50. 

 Mr. Moore has 700 nuclei, and will fill orders by return 

 mail. Send me $1.50, and I'll at once forward your 

 order to Mr. Moore, send you the back numbers of the 

 Review for this year, and then keep on sending it to 

 you to the end of next year.
