 did splendidly. Each colony has at least 75 lbs. 

 of honey — ^pretty good for two-frame nuclei.

 me six more queens, the 4» sent me last spring 

 are hustlers. 



Mr. Wm. Smiley, of Glasgow, Pa , writes: 

 Your bees beat all the rest, now send me a breed- 

 er of the same kind.

How Moore's strain of Italians roll in honey down 

 in Texas. 



Hutto. Tex., Nov. 19, 1902. 

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

 gard to queens purchased of you. I could have -writ- 

 ten sooner, but I wanted to test them thoroughly and 

 see if they had those remarkable qualities of a three- 

 banded Italian bee. I must confess to j ou I am more 

 surprised every day as I watch them. They simply 

 ■•roll the hon'e>- in.' It seems that they get honey 

 where others are idle or trying to rob: and for gentle- 

 ness of handling. I have never seen the like. Friend 

 E. R. Root was right when he said your bees have the 

 longest tongues; for they get honey where others fail. 

 I will express my thanks for such queens. I am more 

 than pleased. I will stock ray out-apiaries next spring 

 with your queens. Yours truly, 



Hez^ky Schmidt. 



The above is pretty strong evidence that red clover 

 is not the only plant which requires long tong^ed bees 

 to secure the greatest quantity of nectar.

 a sight to behold during a honey-flow, and the Goldens 

 are beyond description in the line of beauty, Vours 

 are the best for comb honey I ever .saw. I want more

 dandies. I introduced one into a weak nucleus in 

 May. and in September I took 285 lbs. of honey, leav-
