Nice Weather for Bees. 



. At the present time we are having nice, 

 warm, spring-like weather. The spring birds 

 are singing around, and the blue-bird has 

 come, and it seems as if the baclibone of win- 

 ter is brol<en. The bees are taking advantage 

 of such nice weather. They are doing finely 

 this winter, and the prospects are good for a 

 good honey crop. L. A. Hammond.

Cappying out Cellared Bees for a 

 Flight. 



Referring to the editorial on page 99, as to 

 the benefit of carrying bees out of the cellar 

 to have a flight in winter, I would say that 

 last winter (February, 1902) I took out one 

 colony that seemed to be very uneasy; the 

 day was fine, the bees flew nicely, and after 

 returning them to the cellar they seemed very 

 quiet the balance of the winter. February i, 

 190S, was a fine day, bees out in winter quar- 

 ters liew nicely. 



The bees in this locality did quite well the 

 last half of last year, beginning with July 3.
