THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



Mar. 17, 19C4. 



withstanding tlie fact ttiat everybody that had 

 bees bad plenty of honey. 



I had been reading the American Bee Jour- 

 nal for a year, and had secured a copy of the 

 Langstroth booli, else I should have been " lost 

 in the fog," for they swarmed and swarmed ; 

 commencing May 25 they continued to swarm 

 all kinds of swarms, about 30 in all, until the 

 midst of a short drouth, July 15, after which 

 I had a chance to rest from hive-building and 

 " hiving." 



The 38 colonies were all enjoying a fine 

 flight to-day after their 4 weeks of imprison- 

 ment, during which the thermometer dropped 

 to 20 below zero, and the hives became badly 

 ice-bound across the entrances, but the bees 

 were working like Trojans at house-cleaning, 

 so they will go into the cold spell, that is 

 coming on to-night, with clean quarters and 

 a good chance to "weather it" through to 

 fruit-bloom, or feeding-time.

Honey-Tank— Diseoupaging Out- 

 look. 



I am very much interested in Mr. R. C. 

 Aikin's paper on the production of extracted 

 honey, page 6S, because I have been for sev- 

 eral years working along similar lines, and I 

 think I have succeeded in a tank with a 

 double bottom, in which are a series of parti- 

 tions, that in connection with a coil of pipe 

 or an oil-stove (or gasoline), I can force a 

 circulation of hot water between the bottoms 

 continually and regulate the heat as I want it. 

 If I do not want the heat I can take oti the 

 pipe and stove and use it as and ordinary tank.
