A Very Successful Season. 



Last season was a very successful 

 one witli me. I began the season with 

 20 colonies, securedover a ton of honey, 

 mostly comb, and put 23 colonies into 

 the cellar Nov. 14th, in fine condition. 



I am sorry that you suffered such a 

 loss by water thru the fire, but I hope 

 you will not be discouraged for we 

 need the Bee Journal as much as ever. 

 Success to you and it.

Bees Did Well— Prospects Fine. 



My bees did very well the past sea- 

 son. We have had considerable rain 

 already, and the prospects are fine for 

 a good crop the coming season. 



I was sorry to hear of your loss on 

 account of the fire in vour building.

Short Honey-Flow Bee-Papers. 



The honey-tlow here lasted only two 

 weeks the past season. I secured 

 about 25110 good, salable sections, but 

 some of the bee-keepers around here 

 who do not take a bee-paper got very 

 little honey and some got none. 



I have tried to get them to subscribe 

 for some good bee-paper, but they 

 either know too much, or think they 

 can't afford it. My experience is that 

 I can't afford to do without them.

Management at Swarming Time— Is 

 it the Effect of Eating Honey ? 



On page 808 (1900) Dr. Miller says in 

 answer to question No. 1, in regard to 

 management at swarming-time: "The 

 caged queen was put in at the en- 

 trance." Suppose the cage would not 

 go in at the entrance, could it not be 

 put between or over the frames, or in 

 a corner of a frame where there is 

 drone-comb, by cutting enough out for 

 the cage ? Also, the Doctor does not 

 say how he confines the queen — 

 whether the bees are allowed to enter 

 the cage, or if they feed the queen thru 

 the screen. Novices, like myself, per- 

 haps would not understand it. Is 

 there no danger of the bees killing the 

 queen when she is releast ■* 



I am also interested in the question
