How Moore's strain of Italians roll in honey 

 down in Texas. 



Hutto, Texas, Nov. 19., 1902. 



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

 regard to queens purchased of you. I could have 

 wriiten sooner, but I wanted to test them thor- 

 oughly and see if they had those remarkable 

 qualities of a three-banded Italian bee. I must 

 confess to you I am more surprised every daj^ as 

 Iw^tchtheui. They simply "roll the honey in " 

 It seems that they get honey where others are 

 idle or trying to rob- and for gentleness of hand- 

 ling, I have never seen the like. Friend E. R. 

 Root was right when he said your bees have the 

 longest tongues; for the^' get honey where others 

 fail. I will express my thanks for such queens. 

 I am more than pleased. I will stock my out- 

 apiaiies next spring with your queens. 

 Yours truly, 



Hknry Schmidt. 



The above is pretty strong evidence that red 

 clover is not the onlj' plant which requires long 

 tongued bees to secure the greatest amount of 

 nectar, hut there are pages more, fully as strong, 

 in one of the neatest little circulars that ever 

 was sent out by a queen breeder. Send for this 

 circular and read full pai ticulars in regard to 

 how these queens are bred, the prices at which 

 thty can be obtained, etc
