GI.EANINGS IN BEE CUI.TURE. 



795 



My bees have done well this summer. I now have 

 103 colonies. I expect to have about 2500 lbs. in all. 

 Our honey is from wild flowers mostly, and is of a 

 very fine quality. We get no dark honey here. A 

 bright amber is the darkest we get. The wild touch- 

 menot, of which you make mention in the ABC, 

 grows here by the acre, and willow-herb by the hun- 

 dred acres. Mrs. Math Williams.

Moore's Strain of Italians 



Medina, O., Sept. 28, 1900. 

 J. P. Moore, Morgan, Ky. — Dear Sir : — Samples of 

 bees are duly to hand. The tongues of bees No. 6 are 

 fol). I would say to you in general that the lengths of 

 the tongues of your bees are greater than any other lot 

 we have received. That queen that reared the f,fxi 

 length of tongues should be preserved. If her bees 

 are the red-clover kind, she would make good stock to 

 cross with our red-clover. 



Yours verj' truly, The A. I. Root Co., 

 E. R. Root.
