Wintering Well— Prospects Good. 



Bees are wintering well, while early 

 snow preceded by soaking- rains blan- 

 keted the best start of white clover we 

 have had for several years. The pros- 

 pects so far are not to be complained 

 of. H. G. AcKtiN.

The "Nameless" Bee Disease. 



The past year has been a poor one 

 for bees, but I think mine gathered 

 enough to carry them thru the winter. 



I had a little experience with the 

 "Nameless" bee-disease last fall. One 

 colony was so bad that it could not de- 

 fend itself from robbers. I covered 

 the hive with a sheet at night, and ex- 

 changed the stands, and the next 

 spring there was no sign of the dis- 

 ease left, and last fall they seemed 

 to be as good as any colony I have.

A Bee-Keepers' Institute. 



The bee-keepers' institute was held 

 at Johnstown, N. Y., Dec. 18, 1000, and 

 a goodlj' number of bee-keepers were 

 present. 



The meeting was called to order by 

 one of the State bee-inspectors, Chas. 

 Stewart. Mr. W. Z. Hutchinson de- 

 livered an able address on " The Use 

 and Abuse of Comb Foundation," and 

 an interesting disctission followed. 



At the close of this meeting an asso- 

 ciation was organized for Fulton atid 

 Montgomery counties, and the follow- 

 ing officers were elected : President, 

 J.'W. Hoffman ; 1st Vice-President, G. 

 H.Adams; 2d Vice-President, E. W. 

 Rean ; 3d Vice-President, G. W. 

 Haines: Secretary, T. I. Dugdale, 

 West Galway, N. Y.; and Treasurer, 

 D. E. Floyd. A number of members 

 were received, and the next meeting 

 will be at Fonda, N. Y., the first Tues- 

 dav in May. G. W. Hainks.

Managing Bees— Carniolans. 



I ran three of my colonies last season 

 on a different plan from what I have 

 been doing, and got $45 worth of No. 1 

 comb honey from the three ; and I am 

 going to try the same thing the com- 

 ing season, and if it comes out all 

 right I will give you the plan. 



X had a fine colony of Carniolans 

 which had one super on early in May ; 

 I was thinking of slipping another one 

 under it, and before I got ready to do 

 so a swarm issued and went some dis- 

 tance before it settled. After it clus- 

 tered I hived it and brought it home. 

 It was a powerful swarm. In a day or 

 two I was out in the apiary and noticed 

 a stream of bees going in and out at 

 this new colony. I did not at first 

 think much about it, because I knew it 

 was a very large swarm, and thought 

 they were hustling, and concluded that 

 those Carniolans were dandies. When 

 I finisht my work I went over to look
