AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL.. 



where I want them to go, and if the young 

 queens are successful in returning, I have 

 three queens in each hive when the honey 

 season is over. I have then plenty of 

 queens for re-queening. 



I can winter two full colonies with eight 

 combs each in this hive. I have wintered 

 three colonies successfully on the summer 

 stands — two with five combs each, and one 

 with six combs. I have eight entrances in 

 the hive. The hive I have in one chamber 

 before the honey season opens. A few 

 days before the honey season opens I make 

 it into three chambers — one working cham- 

 ber, and two nursing and hatching cham- 

 bers. 1 will give this hive another season's 

 trial before I say more. I will report later 

 how the bees do in this hive this season. 



Bees did well this spring. The honey sea- 

 son is just opening, and I am getting my 

 bees ready in the new hives to put on the 

 sections. We have had a great rain storm 

 the ijast few days ; if it continues a few 

 days more, it will be a drawback to the 

 bees, for the flowers are just coming into 

 bloom. J. F. H.

Queens and <tiieeii-Re!ii-iii$>°.—

 queen is still laying below ; how you may

 the year when bees can fly ; all about the 

 different races of bees; all about shipping 

 queens, queen-cages, candy for queen- 

 cages, etc. ; all about forming nuclei, mul- 

 tiplying or uniting bees, or weak colonies, 

 etc. ; or, in fact, everything about the 

 queen-business which you may want to

Honey as l^oo<l and Medicine is 



just the thing to help sell honey, as it shows 

 the various ways in which honey may be 

 used as a food and as a medicine. Try 100 

 copies of it, and see what good 'sales- 

 men " they are. See the second page of last 

 number of the Bee Journal for description 

 and prices.
