We have arranged with one of the oldest and best queen-breed- ers (having many years' experience) to rear queens for us the coming season. His bees average quite a good deal the longest tongues of any yet measured. The Breeder he will use is direct from Italy, having imported her himself. Her worker-bees are large, somewhat leather-colored, very gentle, and scarcely requiring veil or smoke. They stored red clover honey last season.
