virtue every larva will get some, per- 

 haps, ill the spring. 



I expect to use beta napthol this 

 spring if the bees are idle. It must be 

 cut with alcohol, about S pint of alco- 

 hol to 2 ounces of napthol. I then stir 

 it into 4 pounds of hot honey. It will 

 positively have nothing to do with 

 sugar syrup. I feed from Yz to one 

 tablespoonful in each gallon of feed. 

 I hope Mr. Thos. Cowan, of California, 

 will say whether the above is any 

 where near the right proportions. 



Now, Mr. Stahlman, don't you think 

 that transferring so many colonies and 

 throwing them out ot nurse-bees (which 

 feed the larva;) had a good deal to do 

 with your trouble ? (See page 204.) 



I think the above disease points to a 

 lack of nurse-bees, just in the heaviest 

 breeding season. 



My bees have been confined for 110 

 days now without a flight ; however, I 

 have no fears whatever.

Bees Wintering Well. 



I put 24 colonies into winter quarters 

 packt 6 to 10 inches apart with straw 

 in between and behind, in a shed open 

 to the south, with a Hill's device of 

 my own make, with super on filled with 

 cushions and old clothes, etc. I let the 

 sun shine full on them. Unless we 

 have the bees where no frost accumu- 

 lates in the hive, let them have the 

 sun ; we won't lose many bees that are 

 worth anything, by flying out. Don't 

 pack too much, and let them have the 

 sun to warm up and dry them out. My 

 bees are wintering well.

Wintered Nicely. 



I put out part of my bees this morn- 

 ing. They seem to have wintered 

 nicely. E. S. Miles.

Wintering Fairly Well. 



My bees are wintering finely so far. 

 I put into winter quarters 37 colonies, 

 and they are all alive yet, and seem to 

 be nearly as strong as they were last 

 fall. I use the Champion winter-case 

 and pack with oat chaflf.

Stimulating Brood-Rearing Stop- 

 ping Robbing— Bee-Sting 

 Remedy. 



Last season was a poor one ; I be- 

 lieve I was the only one in my neigh- 

 borhood to get any surplus honey, and 

 I did fairly well for these parts. My 

 bees are in better shape this spring 

 than ever before — I have not lost a 

 colony. 



Mr. Aikin, in a recent number of the 

 Bee Journal, advises turning brood- 

 combs end for end to stimulate brood- 

 rearing. What's the matter with turn- 

 ing the brood-chamber on the bottom- 

 board ? I have done this a good many 

 times, and always thought it benefi- 

 cial, but I make no claim to being an 

 expert, and have made no very partic- 

 ular experiments, but I cannot see why 

 my plan is not just as good as Mr. 

 Aikin's, and is a great deal less trouble ;
