American Vae Journal 



sing like an angry bee. 



The winter has been very mild on tlie 

 coast, with lots of rain, and no freezinii 

 weather. The fields are as green as in, June, 

 I have 55 colonies of bees, mostly Italians, 

 wintering well. M, S. Sno\\'.

Good Prospects 



We had a fair crop of excellent clover 

 honey last season, and the prospects are 

 bright for a good crop of clover this year. 

 So far bees are in good condition with plenty 

 of winter stores. Addison Gould. 



Weston, W. Va., .Tan. i;. 



Dry Season but Good 



This is my third season with bees. I have 

 20 colonies, spring count, and they gave me 

 1000 pounds of honey this season, about 280 

 pounds of section honey, and the balance 

 extracted. It is all of good quality, but the 

 season was dry. .1. A, Horn.

Interest the Boys 



As the time will soon be here for putting 

 out some decoy hives, boys get busy and see 

 how many swarms you can catch and make 

 some easy money, I will tell how I do it: 



Buy a candy pail at the store for 10 cents, 

 split a small piece off the cover and tit a 

 piece on that will extend out to make the 

 alighting-board. This, with a few cross 

 sticks, is all that is necessary if we were 

 going to let them hll the pail, but if it is 

 profit we want we will tr.insfer them to a 

 good standard hive. I have planned a false 

 bottom to be nailed to a flat board with a 

 cleat bra.cing it from both sides, and a hand- 

 hold at the bottom for lifting it out. 



If they have filled the pail with comb be- 

 fore you see them, all that is necessary is to 

 cut around the pail and raise them out and 

 shake them into your hive. Cut out the 

 comb that you wish to save and leave plenty 

 as a bait, and you have abetter decoy hive 

 than a new one, 



I would advise that the pail be well 

 painted on the outside, which will keep it 

 from having any open cracks. My boys are 

 going to put out quite a number. 



Toledo, Iowa, Jan. 30. F. B, Millard, 



Rearing Some Brood 



I opened two hives yesterday; one had 

 no brood, the other had a circle 6 inches 

 across one way and 8 the other, mostly 

 sealed. The hive was packed on the sum- 

 mer stand; mercury at 56 degrees in the 

 shade, J. L, Strong. 



Clarinda. Iowa, Jan 10. 



No Loss Yet 



No loss so far. Bees have not been con- 

 fined to the hives to exceed ten days at any 

 onetime this winter. They were out yes- 

 terday, and will get a good flight today.
