laid by, made thru these tireless little workers. 

 But it has been only by constant and earnest 

 attention that I have been able to go thru 

 tliese dry years with a loss of not to exceed "> 

 percent at any time, and I am sure I see iioth- 

 ini; at present to justify the supposition tliat 

 we are in any way likely to overstock the 

 Eastern markets with cheap honey. For five 

 years my record has been as follows : 1890,

Bees Wintered Well. 



Our bees have lately had several fine flights, 

 the first in about 4Si months. They were 

 wintered on the summer stands, prepared as 

 explained in the American Bee .Journal for 

 Oct. 11, 1900 They were confined to hives by 

 cold weather much longer than usual, the 

 mercury going as low as 10 degrees Ijelow zero, 

 yet there is a loss in colonies of only aljout I'.j 

 percent, and nearly all colonies are in fine 

 condition. " H. D. Burrell. 



Van Buren Co., Mich., March 35. 



A Beginner's Report. 



I am a beginner in the bee-business. I had 

 14 colonies last spring, and increast to 28. 

 which are wintering on the summer stands ; 

 all are in good condition, and have consider- 

 able brood. 



I will be 64 years old May 13th. I came to 

 Texas 50 years ago, and am a farmer and 

 stock-raiser. I raised 33 bales of cotton and 

 1,000 bushels of corn last year. 



(iood luck to the Bee Journal. I like it very 

 much. George Conawat.

Bees in Good Condition— Gatliering 

 from Sap. 



I examined my bees March 16th, and found 

 them in good condition, with plenty of honey 

 and some sealed brood. They have had a 

 good flight nearly every week this winter. 

 They seem to be at work, but I can't tell what 

 on unless it is maple sap, as it is running 

 now, and so is box-elder sap. It is too coki 

 tii-dav for bees to flv. Feed Tyler.

Soft Maple in Bloom. 



The Bees are still in the cellar, altho the 

 soft maples are partly in bloom; but the 

 weather is cold. E. S. Miles.

Horsemint a Good Honey-Plant. 



Our bees are working nicely. We have lots 

 of horsemint in this part i>{ the country, 

 which is a good bee-plant.

A Plan for Watering Bees— Fishing. 



Our Ijees have I-"'eu a nuisance atioiil the 

 watering trough and pump. Our women- 

 folks, as well as the boys, objected to them 

 aliout the pump, then I knew it was time to 

 do something. So I referred to "ABC of 

 Bee-Culture" for a remedy for the trouble, 

 and straightway made two watering devices, 

 and set them up in the apiary, which is alioui 

 five rods from the pump. They were kept 

 filled during the heated spell in July and 

 August, when 30 colonies would carry away 

 from one to four gallons a day. This slopt 

 the annoyance about the pump, and we saw 

 liut three bees there during the summer. 8o 

 inui-h for the texl-tiook. 



The walering-lioards can be made with :i 

 jack-knife if oni: lias no saw. I believe if 

 apiarists woulil .^ce to it that their liees were 

 well watered at home, there would be U>s 

 ■■ kicking" done In the neighbors. The leM- 

 book is the main tool, and the " Old Kelialile " 

 sees to it that the tool is kept in working 

 order. 



It is not long since I started with bees, and 

 I was not slow in '.■ firing " questions at that
