Good Results In Wintering. 



We have taken out a part of our bees, 

 and found good results in wintering. 

 Out of 229 colonies that we have re- 

 moved from winter quarters we found 

 only 10 dead ones. We had to quit 

 taking the bees out on account of a 

 snow-storm, so we have not taken them 

 all out yet. Ada L. Pickard.

A Beginner's Report. 



I started last spring with 3 colonies 

 and increast to 11. Not having a hive 

 prepared for the last swarm I had to 

 put it into a hive without foundation 

 starters, and it made the comb cross- 

 wise of the brood-frames, so I had to 

 kill it. I got 340 pounds of comb honey. 

 As I did laot know anj'thing about bees 

 before, I think I did well. The last of 

 November I put 10 colonies into the 

 cellar. I lookt them over in February 

 and found one dead. I don't know 

 what the trotible was, but most of them 

 had left the hive, and there was about 

 30 pounds of honey in it. I put the 9 

 colonies out of the cellar April 14, and 

 they seem to be all right.

Many Weak Colonies. 



I took the bees out of the cellar the 

 forepart of April — 13 colonies dead out 

 of 75 put in, and a good manj- very 

 weak. But thej' wintered better than I 

 expected, as they were in very bad con- 

 dition last fall, owing to being short of 

 honey, and not breeding. I fed rather 

 late and consequently had but few bees 

 in a hive, and they were mostlj- old 

 ones. I fed 1,000 pounds of granulated 

 sugar last fall for winter stores. 



I think I have one of the best bee- 

 cellars in the State, and will describe 

 its construction later on. 



Sweet clover is coming up nicely, 

 and we are having a big rain. The 

 temperature is 55" above zero.

Wintered Well-— Bees and Fruit. 



Bees have wintered verj' well in this 

 locality. Some of my neighbors have 

 not lost any, and others have lost only 

 a small percent. My loss was 4 colo- 

 nies out of 84, and those that died were 

 small swarms that issued late last fall. 

 I finisht taking them out of the cellar 

 April 2. I never took them out so late 

 before, but they seemed to be quiet and 

 satisfied in the cellar, which was the 

 best place for them during the cold 

 weather that we had in March. I gen- 

 erally take my bees out about the tirst 

 of March, and they get pollen from the 

 soft-maple and the white elm about 

 March IS, but this spring everj-thing is 

 late. I noticed the bees bringing in 

 some pollen to-day. 



As I wrote some time ago about 

 clover bearing all right i^i this vicinity, 

 I am pleased to say that it is all right
