10. I've had no practical experience in the matter, but 

 it is said that after the close of the season a queen may be 



successfully int'-oduced. Other things being equal, the 

 absence of brood that you mention would be favorable. It 

 is also a time at which there could be no loss from a break 

 in laying, as there would be at the beginning of the harvest.

Good Report and Good Prospects. 



As the season is over for 1904, I will 

 give a report of my honey crop. I have 

 taken 1450 pounds this season, 77 

 pounds of which is extracted. My best 

 colony gave me 152 pounds, and the 

 average was 96 pounds per colony, 

 spring count. 



I had 15 colonies last spring, and 

 have increased to 30, and they are in 

 fine shape for winter My bees are the 

 red clover Italians. 



This was a good season for honey in 

 this locality, and there is a fine growth 

 of young white clover which makes the 

 prospect look good for next season.

Good Market for Chunk Honey. 



Our bees have done fairly well this 

 season, though some colonies did not 

 store enough to take them through the 

 winter. Others filled two-story hives 

 full. I run mostly for chunk honey, 

 as the farm and poultry take up too 

 much of my time for working for sec- 

 tion honey. Besides, it pays equally 

 as well in our market to cut out the 

 honey and sell it in quart, half-gallon, 

 and three-quart pails, and by cutting 

 only alternate combs it keeps the bees 

 building all straight combs.

Finding and Hiving a Swarm. 



One Sunday last June I went out and 

 sat down under a big tree. I had been 

 sitting there perhaps two minutes 

 when I looked up and saw bees thick 

 as spatter in another tree. 



Two weeks later I went out to see 

 how my pels were. I sat down about 

 10:30 in the same place, and in five 

 minutes they started to swarm ! There 

 I was. They came out and alighted 

 on a nice little bush. Now, what would 

 you have done ? I will tell you what / 

 did. 



I went half a mile and brought a 

 soap-box, came back, bees still there. 

 I pulled grass and weeds " to beat the 

 band ". Then I set the box down, cut 

 the limb, shook the bees otT, and do 

 you know they couldn't all get into the 



box? There I was. So I hunted till I 

 found "the lady of the house", and 

 put her up in the farthest corner. 



Then I thought of a friend of mine
