FROM MANY FIELDS

Bees Did Well. 



My bees did very well last year. I have 7 

 colonies, 3 Italians and 4 blacks. I took 

 about 300 pounds of honey from the Italians. 

 Three of the blacks held their own, and one I 

 had to feed. In the spring I intend to kill all 

 the black queens and introduce Italians.

Not a Cold Winter. 



This morning (for the first time during this 

 winter) the thermometer went 2 degrees be- 

 low zero. No snow yet, but we may get more 

 than we like before bees swarm again.

Fine Season for Honey. 



Last season was fine for honey; I got over a 

 ton from 40 colonies, and could have gotten 

 much more if 1 could have found time to care 

 for the bees, but other work kept me busy so 

 I had to neglect them. 



I sold my honey at the house for 12'., cents 

 per pound, and have it all sold. The honey 

 was as fine as any I ever saw.

Swarms Deserting— Bulk Comb 

 Honey. 



Pass your cookies, Mr. Hasty. I would like 

 to try them. I suppose they are real honey- 

 cookies, as they should be. It doesn't pay to 

 be too " dead sure " that my bees did not go 

 to the woods (page 41). 



I have neither strength nor inclination for 

 anything but bee-culture, and loving it as I 

 do, I am — well — "Johnnie on the spot," you 

 might say. But my best reason, and one I 

 would like to hear commented on, is just this: 

 I have never, to my knowledge, had a colony 

 of bees swarm after once beginning work in 

 the super. I have been wanting to air that 

 for a long time. Is it locality, or what is it; 

 That it is not true of other places I know,
