left. Tlie last plan proved to be the best 

 way for me the past tryins winter. I 

 waited about 3 weeks for a favorable time 

 to put the bees out of the bee-house, when 

 April 20 set in warm and still, so 1 took 

 them out. and I found some good and 

 some dead. I lost about ^, besides tlie 

 little colonies. Lots of dead bees were on 

 the floor. Some of the hives were too 

 close to the cellar bottom. The entrances 

 were 5x% inches, and all open. Bees that 

 were put out at 9 a.m. marked their new 

 home, found where I had flour, and re- 

 turned home with their white loads before 

 noon. I was surprised to see it. 1 have 

 about one-half of my bees left, the combs, 

 boxes and honey, and a winter's experi- 

 ence ; I shall try and make the best of it.

HONEY FOR FEEDING 



I HAVE 2 kegs holding a trifle over KW pounds 

 each, of extracted honey, which I will sell at 6 

 cents per lb. on the cars. It is in wine-kegs and the 

 honey has become flavored so that it cannot be 

 sold for table use. It is in good condition and of 

 good quality.

HONEY EXTRACTORS 



In answer to frequent inquiries 

 for Extractors carrying 3 and 4 

 Lnngstroth frames, I have con- 

 cluded to adopt these two new 

 sizes. The 3 frame basket is in a 

 can of the same size and style as 

 the '2 frame. The 4 frame basket 



1 ■■■■ is in the larger can, with the cone 



' ''''IBM or metal standard for the basket 



9Ar, 'llfW to revolve upon, leaving room un- 



T iifflR derneath the basket for 75otSi> 



lOMfV ' iiliiywl lbs. of honey. It will be complete.

wAI^^^ ' 'liwB identical, except in size, with the 



Vti-' , • ■ff!B^ fiB.(Hi Extractor. 18x20, which is 



intended for any size of frame. 



Excepting with the $H.oo Ex- 

 tractors, all the different styles 

 have strainers over the canal lead- 

 ing to the honey gate, and mova- 

 ble sides in the Comb Baskets. The IB.Oti and

 is, that Uoolittle's be«t
