haps a quart — the same as you would use tor 

 small chicks in a brooder; put the feed in 

 wheo quite warm and set it over the brood- 

 nest on the frames, then put an empty super 

 on, and cover the feeder up wilh something 

 warm ; then put on the hive-cover, and it will 

 have to be a pretty cold day to stop the bees 

 from taking the feed. This is a good way to 

 feed bees in a small way, for there is no leak- 

 ing or chance for robbing.

Not Wintered Well. 



Bees have not wintered very well here. The 

 winter was long and severe. Bees were con- 

 fined without a llight for about 21 weeks. 

 Bees kept out-of-doors were confined about 18 

 weeks. We had a snow-storm last night, 

 and the ground was covered this morning; 

 in some places the snow is piled up from 2 to 

 3 feet deep, but it is disappearing. I hope for 

 a good season after this. Clover looks well.

Hard Winter for Bees. 



The bees in this locality have had a hard 

 time the past winter, and they are having a 

 poor time of it yet. All the bees that were 

 not protected are dead, and a good many that 

 were protected. There is not much cellar- 

 wintering here, but those that protect their 

 bees put them into clamps packed with saw- 

 dust. Mine are in a clamp yet; it is too cold 

 for them to fiy, and we have had very few 

 days that they could fly yet. We had a hard 

 frost last night and the night before. 



I think I will lose 20 percent of 130 colo- 

 nies. And to all appearances the clover is 

 nearly all killed— smothered by ice.

Wintered Fairly Well. 



Bees have wintered fairly well — 4 colonies 

 dead out of 23. I put the bees out of the cel- 

 lar April 4. M. B. Ewing.

Bees Wintered Well. 



Bees wintered in fine shape on the summer 

 stands, with only a quilt protection over the 

 frames, and the entrances reduced to f'ax2 

 inches. Bees carried in pollen Feb. 24; All 

 had, and still have, an abundance of stores 

 without feeding. My first swarm was on 

 April 8. D. Neilson.

Propolized Cloth for Bee-Mittens. 



On page 280, Miss Emma Wilson gives a 

 little taKc about gloves for women bee-keep- 

 ers. May I take the liberty to tell the sisters 

 how 1 used to make them, though I seldom 

 use any ? 



Take a piece of cambric and use it as a cloth 

 on top of frames. Change its position once 

 in a while, so that one side will all be covered 

 wilh propolis. Make the glove or mitten 

 with a sheath for the forefinger, and the re- 

 maining fingers can all go in another sheath. 

 Make them long enough and big enough to 

 go half way to the elbows. 



Bees can sting through such a mitten, but 

 they don't care to; the scent of the propolis 

 seems to please and disarm them. Have the 

 propolis outside. Better put on several cloths, 

 for sometimes the bees pick them full of 

 holes. S. T. Pettit.

Wintered All Right. 



I think my bees have come through the 

 winter all right, notwithstanding the cold, 

 wet weather the last of March and nearly all 

 through this month. I have lost only 1 col- 

 ony out of 36 so far, and they are liusy carry- 

 ing in pollen to-day, and have been tor 2 or 3 

 days. I winter bees on the summer stands, 

 in single-wall hives, with a cushion over the
