 lar 4 '4x4)4 sections on them at a time. 



This year I found No. 2 was weak in 

 bees, while No. 3 was very strong, so 

 just before swarming began I placed 

 No. 3 where No. 2 had stood, and No. 2 

 in the space left vacant by moving No. 

 3. Neither of them swarmed, although 

 both were fairly strong. I think I lost 

 25 pounds of honey by the operation, 

 for neither was strong enough to 

 gather much surplus in the short flow 

 that we had. Howard H. House.

A Utah Report. 



I took 620 gallons of extracted honey 

 from 30 colonies, and increased, by 

 dividing, to 45 colonies. No swarms. 

 How is that ? B. F. Barrus.

Good Wintering Advice. 

 I wish to call the atttention of bee- 

 keepers to the fact that we should have 

 more of our winter loss the previous 

 autumn. Don't try to carry every col- 

 ony through the winter that has a few 

 bees in it. Remember that it is nearly 

 always an indictment against a queen 

 to find her always the mother of a weak 

 colony. Don't let such colonies use up 

 a lot of valuable stores, and then die, 

 but weed out such and double up, sav- 

 ing the best queens, then feed in a 

 way that will stimulate late breeding, 

 and thus go into winter with bees 

 whose life is before them instead of be- 

 hind them. Have a standard of excel- 

 lence that bees must come up to Nov.

1st, and make them do it, and then we 

 vein have less vrinter loss and more 

 honey for stimulative feeding the next 

 spring. 



I Remember, there is many a slip 

 'twixt the queen-cell and a car-load of 

 honey. Number of bees in the hives 

 instead of colonies in the apiary, is a 

 good motto. 



I would like to have been there and 

 made one more of that car-load of bee- 

 keepers, but I had to load two cars of 

 honey during that 10 days, so I could 

 not go. M. A. GiLi,.

A Very Poop Year. 



This has been a very poor year for 

 bees in this part of Vermont. But we 

 are not going to give up the American 

 Bee Journal, just the same.

Grand Isle Co., Vt., Oct. 24. 



Has a Home Demand for Hone,y. 



This has been a poor year for bees. 

 I had about 25 colonies the past season, 

 and run for both comb and extracted 

 honey. I have a home trade for all of 

 it — comb at IS cents, and extracted, 2 

 pounds for 25 cents. I put some of it 

 in jelly glasses, and put my label on 

 them, guaranteeing its purity. 



The American Bee Journal is a paper 

 that every bee-keeper should take.
