Bees Did Well. 



Bees did well this year. I started 

 with one colony in the spring' and in- 

 creased to 8, taking off about 60 pounds 

 of honey. The bees have a good sup- 

 ply of winter stores.

A Correction in Average Yield. 



On page 685 I am made to say that 

 my surplus will be 3 pounds per colony, 

 spring count. Of course this mistake 

 was made by the printer. I can make 

 a better showing than that. I have 

 harvested nearly 1200 pounds from 34 

 colonies, and increased to SO. 



G. Stout. 



Hennepin Co., Minn., Oct. 12. 



I In this instance the mistake was not 

 the printer's, but Mr. Stout's, as we 

 printed it exactly as he wrote it. But 

 we all make mistakes, sometimes. —

Bees that are Hustlers. 



I have what I think is a pretty good 

 showing for a colony of bees. On 

 June 28 I received from a dealer one 

 pound of bees and one of his red-clover 

 queens, and they filled a lO-frame 

 brood-chamber solid full. The frames 

 are 17j2x9'4, and the super contained 

 28 one-pound sections. This is what I 

 call hustling. 



The American Bee Journal is one of 

 my best friends, and I look forward to 

 its coming with as much interest as I 

 would that of an old friend

Two "Swell" Encounters with the 

 Bees. 



My first experience with bees was 

 when Gen. Sherman took me and a lot 

 of others from Atlanta, Ga., down 

 through that State, and a fine time we 

 had. Before we got to Savannah we 

 were rather short of rations, and had 

 to do some jayhawing. One day we 

 were out after something to eat, and 

 came across a lot of bee-hives. Of 

 course, we all wanted some honey, but 

 none of us knew how to handle bees, 

 and I tell you we were " done up " in 

 great shape by them. 



The next morning the Orderly Ser- 

 geant looked at me and said, "What 

 are you doing here ? Go to your regi- 



ment. What regiment do vou belong 

 to ?" I told him I belonged to the 2d 

 Iowa yesterdaj', and that I would like 

 to stay with it. He said, " Is that you, 

 Snider? Well, this is the worst case 

 of poison-ivy I ever saw. Report to 

 the doctor right off ". I reported to 

 the doctor, telling him what had hap-
