I have HI colonies of bees in the cellar in 

 apparently first-class condition, however there 

 may be many a slip lietween now and spring. 

 Twenty colonies at an out-yard appeared all 

 right at the last examination. 



The ground has been nearly bare of snow, 

 and only a few cold days, hence a fine winter.

Experience With Bees. 



In the early winter of 1900 we bought 5 

 colonies of native bees, which we put into the 

 cellar; two of Iheiii molded badly and died, 

 leaving a little honey in the hives; the other 

 3 came out in fair condition, producing 135 

 pounds of honey, and increasing to 7 colonies, 

 2 of which starved to death during the win- 

 ter; the remainder (5) gave us 50 pounds of 

 romb honey, and increased to 10; these we

Incubator Cleanliness Necessary.— Many ex- 

 perienced operators of incubators have often 

 deplored the fact that many incubators have so 

 little room for the little chicks underneath the 

 egg-tray. Then, again, a few machines have 

 considerable room in this space, but the chick- 



tray is so conf-tructed that it is extremely un- 

 pleasant and difiicuU to clean thoroughly and 

 disinlect the inside after the hatch is over. 



To overcome these objections was a problem 

 that set the Gem Incubator people to figuring. 

 A great many incubator users unite in deciding 

 that the Gem fulfills the necessary conditions. 



There are other points of superiority about 

 the Gem that would be interesting to mention, 

 which are taken up in detail in the handsome 

 new catalog. This catalog is free. Write to 

 the (lem Incubator Company, Box 52. Dayton, 

 Ohio, and kindly mention the American Bee 

 Journal.
