I went to the robOed colony I very soou foumi 

 out that robbers do sting. I 'contracted the 

 entraDce so that one bee at a lime would pass, 

 and saved my black bees. 



I am hard ajxainst any way ot increase ex- 

 cept by natural swarniing. When there is no 

 nectar in the tields to gather, why, you do 

 not have to feed the nuclei of brushed 

 swarms; nor any weak ones made by unnat- 

 ural swarming. You may leave the swarm 

 and return after-swarms, or cut queen-cells 

 out and prevent after-swarms. 



For smoker-fuel I tind nothing better than 

 hard maple, out as long as the smoker, and 

 split and put in with a lot ot coals in the bot- 

 tom to start it. One smoker full will last a 

 half day, or longer, if you don't use it much.

Tile South Dakota Convention. 



The South Dakota Bee-Keepers' Association 

 held its annual convention .Jan. tjs, in Yank- 

 ton. There was a good attendance, and there 

 were many subjects of interest discussed. 

 There is a growing interest in apiculture in 

 the State. We expect to double our mem- 

 bership this year, and also to produce double 

 the honey of former years, if the season is 

 favorable. Last season was a poor one for 

 honey in this locality, our average being about 

 nO pounds per colony of comb honey, and lOU 

 pounds of extracted. 



The bees seem to be wintering well, those 

 ou the summer stands especially. Mine had 

 a good llight Jan. 15, and they were all alive
