F. B. Simpsox. Editor E. R. Root passed through Chi- cago on his homeward journey Monday even- ing, July 15, stopping in the city only be- tween trains. He had covered about 6000 miles, making some 45 stops, and was feeling well, having gained several pounds in avoir- dupois. The Texas " bee-keepers' ; mentioned by him in a recent editorial item in his paper, is already greatly overstocked with bees and bee-keepers, so no one need get ready to move there right away. In Colorado and Utah, however, there are unoccupied locations that are excellent for bee-keeping. LosG-ToxgtED Hoxet-Bees.—I am mak- ing a study of the length of tongue in the honey-bee, and its relation to honey-produc- tion. I shall be glad to have all readers of the American Bee Journal, who are interested in the subject, send me bees from their best and their poorest colonies for honey-produc- tion. Send not less than 10 or 15 alive in a queen-cage. Do not put bees from different colonies in the same cage, and do not send bees from colonies where a new queen ha? been introduced this season, unless within two weeks, as it will be best to have all the bees in a cage from the same queen. If any have bees from queens that have been reconi- mended to produce specially long-tongued stock. I shall be glad to receive some of the bees and measure their tongues. Send full in
