460 Pages-16th (1899) Edition— 18th Thou-

A description of the book here is quite unnec- 

 essary — it IS simply the most complete scientific 

 and practical bee-book publisht to-day. Fully 

 illustrated, and all written in the most fascinat- 

 ing- style. The author is also too well-known to 

 the whole bee-world to require any introduction. 

 No bee-keeper is fully equipt, or his library 

 complete, without The Bek-Keepers' Guide.'

 mag^nificent book of 4o0 pajies, in neat and sub- 

 stantial cloth bindingr, we proposeto GIVE away

possible that Mr. Smith's swarms were 

 second swarms, both mathematically 

 and bee-ologically. 



I had a powerful colony of Italians, 

 from which a nice prime swarm is- 

 sued with a laying queen. I listened 

 for piping- on the 7th, 8th and 9th days, 

 but heard none. On the 16th I heard 

 piping, and on the 21st an after-swarm 

 issued. On the 22nd a third swarm 

 issued. 



This goes to show that when the 

 prime swarm issued no preparations 

 had been made for swarming. Will 

 some one explain why the young queen 

 waited five days after she came from 

 the cell before she issued with the 

 swarm ? W. T. Stephenson.

I may say I have just started on a 

 small scale in bee - culture. I suc- 

 ceeded in securing two colonies of bees 

 last season, and three others this sea- 

 son, and the increase of last season, in 

 all 8 colonies. Last season was un- 

 usually wet, but this year so far is fine, 

 and the bees are doing well. 



I am living in a very extreme north- 

 ern latitude, and have been repeatedly 

 told by the best bee-authorities in On- 

 tario, Canada, that bees will not live 

 thru the severe winters. On one occa- 

 sion I sent SIS to a bee-keeper in Onta- 

 rio, and requested him to forward me 

 two colonies ; he immediately returned 

 the money, and told me he had 200 col- 

 onies for sale, but thought it unfair to 

 ship bees to a country which he knew 

 they could not reach alive, and, if they 

 did they could never come thru the 

 long and severe winters we have in 

 northwest Canada. 



A friend of mine came here to look up 

 the country two years ago this month, 

 desiring to move here. He bought a 

 farm, and went back that fall for his
