Wintered Well— Good Year Ex- 

 pected. 



As far as I linow the bees have wintered 

 quite well in this community. We put them 

 on the summer stands March 12, the earliest 

 for a good many years. We lost only 'i colo- 

 nies (queenless) out of 101 put in the cellar 

 last Deceinl)er. March 13 the bees flew like 

 they do in the summer, and March IS the 

 mercury went up to "S degrees. Soft maple 

 is in bloom, and it was like summer all 

 around,, even in the bee-yard, bees carrying 

 in both pollen and water, cleaning house and 

 trying the strength of the weak colonies Ijy 

 trying to rob. 



Indications point to a good year for both 

 the bee-man and the farmer. L. G. Blair.

Looks Like a Good Year. 



The American Bee Journal has been a great 

 help to me, as 1 am just a beginner in apicul- 

 ture, starting in last spring with li colonies, 5 

 of which I liought in box-hives, and trans- 

 ferred them to Langstroth hives, which I 

 made myself. I now have 11 colonies, having 

 lost 2 that starved on account of my being 

 .sick at the time they should have been looked 

 after. 



March has been warm and rainy so far, and 

 to-day the bees are busy around the soft maple, 

 which is just beginning to bloom, and with 

 plenty of sweet clover it loolis as though we 

 were going to have a good year for honey.

Madison Co.. Ind., March 12. 



Niee Weather— Prospects Good. 



We are having nice warm weather, and the 

 bees are carrying pollen, and a little honey. 1 

 examined my bees carefully and find 2 colo- 

 nies gueenless. They are strong, and have 

 lots of honey. We never had better prospects. 



We have about 20 or 2.5 acres of crimson 

 clover, and a fevf acres of Alsike, and the 

 prospect is good for lots of white clover,

Organization in California. 



Thus far the prospects are good for a honey 

 crop in this part of the State. 



Bee-keepers are watching with considerable 

 interest the progress of the California Na- 

 tional Honey-Producers' Association. I think 

 if they have an honest set of otlieers at the 

 helm, and the Constitution and By-Laws are 

 gotten up with an honest purpose, and the 

 producers will take a proper interest, with a 

 competent manager at the head, something 

 can be accoujjilished for the good of the 

 fraternity. I know I for one am in favor of 

 organization, as I have had some loss by a 

 commission merchant in San Francisco this 

 season, and it would naturally set one to 

 thinking what is the next best thing to do. 

 But that little word " if " stands in the way 

 quite often in our lives. Chas, D. Brows.

Season of 1902— Taking Bees Out. 



Last year, fruni IIG colonies, we got about 

 13,000 pounds uf i-xtracted and comb honey. 



Last season, wlicn we had a swarm, father 

 said I could have it if I would hive it, so I 

 went to work !iud hived it, gave it one frame 

 of comb drawn out, and the remaining 7 of 

 foundation not drawn out. In a few days I 

 looked in and ^aw the queen was laying, and 

 iu about auotliLT week I looked in again and 

 saw they had almost all their frames of foun- 

 dation drawn out ; in a few days we put on 24 

 sections. WhLM< we took them off in the fall 

 they had 20 out td the 24 filled with, honey of 

 fine quality. 



From lit) colonies we increa.sed to 105, and 



Tennessee Queens.
