Dowagiac, Michigan, November 20, 1878. 



In regard to your bees, if you were my enemy, and I had anything to sav 

 about your stock, I should say the truth, that 1 count yours worth more than twice 

 that of any of the numerous strains that I have tested. They converted me to 

 yellow bees, notwithstanding that they are not near as yellow as those I had for- 

 merly. I advise you not to buy, or take as a gift, any other blood ; but Just stand 

 right where you are, and perfect the strain by carefully breeding out any imner- 

 fections that may show themselves, and breeding in all the good qualities your 

 bees now possess. I shall do the same, purchasing of none but you I have hy- 

 brids crossed by your stock, that are quiet, good-natured, and splendid comb- 

 huilders and storers. Tours truly, JAMES HBDDON. 



Extractors, Smokers, Bee Veils,
