spring without any starters or any- 

 thing. They just filled that hive plump 

 full of honey. By the first of August 

 we took out two frames of honey, and 

 one of them was 3 inches thick and 

 weighed 8 pounds. Of course, our 

 frames were too far apart, but we have 

 just sent for 3 tiew hives, 2-story, com- 

 plete for comb honey. So you see we 

 will be all right for next summer, if we 

 don't lose the bees this winter. 



We now have the hive in a large box. 

 First we took a box about 3 feet square 

 — nailed a couple of 2x6 for it to rest 

 on, then we set the hive in it, fixt the 

 entrance, and packt the sides with 

 chaff, then bankt up around with 

 earth. We are going to put cushions 

 on top of the upper story, and finish 

 packing the box when it gets colder. 



There was a bee-man here this sum- 

 mer who said my bees were hybrids, so 

 I want to get a good Italian queen in 

 the spring, and divide them, and then 

 replace the old queen with another in 

 July. How should I proceed in divid- 

 ing next spring ? If I put a new queen 

 in the old hive will they swarm or not 

 in the spring ?

[ You will find full directions in 

 the bee-book which we have just mailed 

 you, both for introducing queens and 

 dividing. If after reading the book 

 carefully, you don't understand fully, 

 then send on your questions and they 

 will be answered in the Bee Journal. —

Introducing Queens. 



We hear some complaints with the 

 new pasteboard feature. I believe there 

 must have been something wrong with 

 the cages that failed to work. Were 

 the perforations in the pasteboard cut 

 out clear ? And did the candy come 

 clear out to the pasteboard, thru the 

 hole intended for the cork ? This, I 

 think, is ziery important. If the bees- 

 once get a taste of the candy thru the 

 pasteboard, they are then determined 

 to get it all, and will tear away the 

 paper. 



I think by lengthening the cage and 

 making the cork-hole twice as long, 

 and filling it (the hole) with candy, 

 would work nicely if we remove the 

 pasteboard entirely. It would certainly 

 take the bees several hours longer to- 

 release the queen than by the cork 

 method. A. E. WillcuTT.

Two Years of Failure.
