Feeding Dees Early in Spring 



If you wisn the best results, as soon as 

 it is warm enonjih for them to come to 

 the entrance of the hive, feed them as be- 

 fore and place a shallow dish of wheat 

 flour where it will be accessible to them. 

 The queen seeing the necessary supplies 

 coming in immediately begins laying the 

 eggs which will restock the colony. She 

 is a close observer of the commissary di- 

 partment and }.'overns her.self according- 

 ly, writes Mrs. Goodrich, in N. E. Home- 

 stead. 



The object of early feeding is to get 

 early laborers for the field, and if this 

 feat is accomplished sufficiently early in 

 he ppring a good harvest may be had, 

 beginning with tlie fruit blossoms and 

 continuing throughout the summer. If 

 the (|ueen is obliged 10 defer laying until 

 the honey comes in from outside bloom, 

 l)y the time the young laborers are ready 

 for business they may be al)le to gather 

 enough honey to winter on, and they 

 may not, especially in the more northern 

 latitudes. 



Spring set strawbei'ry plants will nearly 

 always bloom some, but if they are al- 

 lowed to set fruit they will be in a meas- 

 ure retarded from growing. It is better 

 to pick off all the blossom stems as soon 

 as they appear. The first runners should 

 always be allowed to .set and make plants 

 because the earlier they start to gi-ow the 

 larger and thriftier they will be. One 

 sijch plant is worth several of the later 

 ones, because they have the time and 

 opportunity to form strong fruit buds for 

 the next year's crop.
