and with the aid of a ladder I was soon 

 up and presented my credentials. The 

 limb was soon severed and gently 

 taken to the home which they were to 

 occupy if accepted. With a rush and 

 a hum of delight they soon were estab- 

 lisht in " headquarters." 



The next winter I wanted to be good 

 to them, you know, and took them to 

 the cellar to spend the winter. The 

 next spring I bought S colonies of 

 blacks in old gums, transferred them 

 and Italianized the whole lot.

How's This for a Crop ? 



My honey crop this year was 19,258 

 finisht sections from 142 colonies, and 

 increast to 26S colonies. From my best 

 colony I took off 346 completed sec-

Not Much Honey This Year. 



Bees in Tulare County did not store 

 very much honey this year. One of 

 my neighbors and myself run ISO col- 

 onies for extracted honey, and secured 

 a little over S tons. A few miles south 

 of us the bee-men had to feed their 

 bees to tide them over winter.

Comb-Honey Management— Clip- 

 ping Queens. 



In running for comb honey in this 

 county we put the supers on early, 

 then, if the bees swarm, hive them on 

 the old stand, turn the old hive around, 

 throw all the flying bees we can in 

 with the new swarm, and lift out the 

 brood-frames and shake nearly all of 

 the bees in front of the new hive. 

 Then, from some other hives we take 

 frames with sealed brood or combs of 

 honey and exchange all the unsealed 

 larva; there is in the hive, even if we 

 have to give some to a nucleus, as we 

 don't want anything that needs feed- 

 ing. Then we take a piece of wire- 

 screen such as is used on doors, and 

 cover over the top of the supers on the 

 new hive. Next we brush all the bees 

 that are on the frames of the old hive 

 in front of the new one, and set the old 

 hive on top of the supers. By not hav- 

 ing the entrance very large the bees 

 will generate heat enough "to hatch out 

 all the brood. As the bees hatch out 

 we slip some of the old brood-frames 

 down below. Every few days shake 

 all the young bees that have hatcht 

 out down in front. It is well to leave 

 some young bees in the top hive to kill 

 the little ants and protect the honey 

 from the moths. 



This method is to let them swarm 

 without increase in colonies, but lots 

 of bees. 



The Monette queen-clipping device 

 is not made exactly as it should be, or, 

 in other words, there Is too much of it. 

 I used something similar to it many 

 years before it was advertised in the 

 bee-papers. Take off that slide or door 

 on the bottom, and when you want to 

 clip a queen hold the device in your 

 left hand and put it down over her as 

 she runs on the comb, then press down, 

 and this pressure will close the wire at 

 the bottom and make it dark, when the
