THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL.

bees had been handled so poorly ; I 

 think that is the reason they did noth- 

 ing. 



We expect a fairly good crop of 

 honey this summer. We commenced 

 extracting this morning. 



We have put our bees in double-wall, 

 chaff-top hives, with IS frames instead 

 of 10. Uo you think they will winter 

 as well as in the single-wall, 10-frame ? 



We have also found a new scheme 

 for foundation that we have never read 

 of any where, and so far there is no 

 dissatisfaction, no breaking down of 

 combs, no crooked ones, and just as 

 smopth as need to be. We take wrap- 

 ping-twine or carpet-warp, and dip 

 it into wax which has been melted, 

 using it as hot as possible, then lay it 

 along the center of the top-bar. It is 

 cheap, and quickly done.

A Little Too Wet. 



Bees are doing splendidly, though it 

 is still a little too wet. There is any 

 amount of white clover, and consider- 

 able alsike clover here. The bees win- 

 tered very poorly in this locality, and 

 now they are trying to make up for 

 lost time. 



I use the Langstroth hives, but make 

 my own. Leonidas Carson.

New York Bee-Keeper's Experience. 



I saw in last week's number of the 

 American Bee Journal a reference to a 

 Methodist experience meeting. It has 

 been my lot to attend such meetings 

 for the last 40 years, and I find they 

 are very helpful in the religious life. 

 I am situated within 2]% miles of where 

 Ethan Allen made the demand for the 

 surrender of Fort Ticonderoga, on the 

 shore of Lake Champlain, and our val- 

 ley is covered with white clover this
