MORE STRONG TESTIMONY 



in Favor of 



Moore's Strain of Italians 



On page 436 of Gleanings for June 1, 1900, " Uncle 

 lyisha " says : 



" 1 was talking not long ago with one of the most enterpriz- 

 ing bee-keepeis of oui- State, who has hundreds of colonies. 

 He told how he had bought queens fToin a number of queen- 

 breeders. S.ime had been quite worthless, while others were 

 valuable. From one breeder he thought he had the best 

 working bees in his yards. He had introduced several of 

 these queens, which had proved the mo^t industrious bees he 

 had." 



" • How about swarming ! ' I inquired. 



" He said he had never if I remember rightly, had a hive of 

 these bees swarm." 



I am happy to state that I am the breeder to w^hom 

 " Uncle Lisha " refers in the above extract, as I have 

 just received a letter from him to that effect. Such 

 disinterested testimony as this is very encouraging to 

 me indeed, and is certainly very convincing. It has 

 taken years of patient labor in selecting and crossing 

 to produce such st' ck as this. 



Warranted queens, 75c each; 6 84 00; 12, 87.50. Se- 

 lect warranted, 81.00 each; 6, 85 00; 12, 89.00. Strong 

 3 frame nucleus, with warranted queen, 82.50. Safe

I am filling all orders by return mail, and shall 

 probably be able to do so till the close of the season.
