The Apiary of Mr W. H. Bright, Mazeppa, 



Minn. 

 mHIS engraving shows part of my apiary 

 x' which is located on the banks of a 

 brook which sometimes overflows during 

 heavy rains. For this reason the hives are 

 raised on benches. I also find it much 

 easier to work with them as I am tall and it 

 tires me to work in a stooping posture. 



The queen rearing yard is not shown in 

 the out. 



The hives used are 8-frame dove-tailed; 

 I use no others. I have not had a natural 

 swarm this season, a thing that has not 

 happened before in all my bee keeping ex- 

 perience of about twenty-flve years. I 

 think there are two reasons for this; one is 

 that the season has been unfavorable and 

 bees have done but little swarming in this lo-

 which I think has something to do with 

 swarming.

 is "Yours Truly." The one on the

 the left is Miss Ethel, a niece who lives with 

 us and includes all onr family.

Thin Foundation without side-walls, 

 made on the machine for the construction 

 of which the members of the Michigan 

 State Bee Keei)ers' Association paid last 

 winter, was used to some extent the past 

 season by Mr. Aspinwall. The combs are 

 about as delicate and fragile as natural 

 combs, but the foundation warps and 

 curls terribly.
