What Others Say 

 of Root's Plain 

 Sections and 

 Fences i 



1 had your plain 

 sections in use with 

 fences, and I must 

 say that 1 am pleased 

 with them, particu- 

 larly the |3=hx5x1^ 

 sections. They were 

 very nice, better 

 filled than the old 

 stj-le, and made a 

 jrreat deal better 

 show, so much so 

 that they broupht 

 me a better price, 

 and they sell much 

 quicker. I am so 

 well pleased that I 

 will use none but 

 plain sections this 

 season, and have 

 sent my order for 

 such,

_j Dear Sirs:— After three years' experience with the Danz. hives I can say that I like them very much, especially the closed-end frame feature, 

 also the super and plain 4x5 section and fence. I have no trouble at all in keeping- the fence separators clean, and that, too, in a locality where propo- 

 lis is very abundant, as mj' apiary is in the central part of this State where pitch and other resinous substances ooze out of the pine and other trees 

 and stumps in uuimag-inable quantities. Here, too, I find the closed-end frame very easy to manipulate, for the reason that they are wedded up to- 

 gether, and offer no space nor cracks to be stuff full of the horrid stuff. Fred G. Bekner.

Report for the Season of 1899. 



Last season was a poor one for honey. I 

 secured 2,000 pounds of honey, and increast 

 from 42 to 64 colonies. I have not lost any 

 bees that I know of so far this winter.

An Expepienee with Bees. 



In the fall of IN'.ir I got a copy of " A B C 

 of Bee-Culture" and began reading it. The 

 result was that I had, in a very short time, 

 a bad ease of beefever (so called). In 

 March. 18MS, I persuaded my brother to em- 

 bark with me in luy new venture. Accord- 

 ingly I started for North Carolina, a dis- 

 tance of about 100 miles, where my uncle 

 lived, who was a beekeeper, for the pur- 

 pose of buying bees— all 1 could pay for. 

 But after getting his advice I took only five 

 colonies; hired a man with a team, loaded 

 tbem into the wagon, and rolled out over 

 the roughest road, considering the distance, 

 I have ever seen. 



After driving four days we arrived home 

 with the bees in fairly good condition. We 

 gained three colonies during the season, 

 making eight in all. which, when fall came 

 on. we divided equally. My tour came thru 

 the winter pretty well excepting one. which 

 remained weak till later in the season of 

 1809. I got two nice swarms in April, and 

 increast to 1.5 colonies by natural swarm- 

 ing, excepting two nuclei which I made. 

 One swarm took Greeley's advice, or I 

 would have had 10. I also sold $14.80 worth
