what it would have been, if we euuld have 

 had 10 days more of the right .kind of 

 weather. I thinlv bee-l<eepers should be very 

 careful not to give too glowinfj a report, and 

 not report too soon. 



I put 42 colonies into the cellar last fall, 

 and took out 40 good ones. I have increased 

 to 6H. I will have about 50 pounds to the 

 colony, spring count; about one-fourth ex- 

 tracted, and the balance comb honey.

Too Wet for a Honey Crop. 



On account of too much rain tliere has been 

 no honey taken in this locality yet. White 

 clover, linden, and chestnut are in full bloom, 

 and bees work nicely when the weather is 

 fair. All my colouies are very strong, and in 

 good condition to work, but so far no honey.
