From Wisconsin: "Last year when 

 my old-time beekeeping friends heard 

 that I had bought bees from a man in 

 Texas they called me a fool; but now 

 I have more bees and more honey than 

 any man in Green county. It is the 

 talk of this part of the woods. ' '

 for over a thousand dollars ' worth for 

 spring shipping.) 



From West Virginia: "The State 

 Apiarist pronounced my queen one of 

 the finest queens he ever saw. To say
