Good Honey Crop. 



The honey crop was fairly good last 

 season. We had 17 colonies, spring 

 count, and 1100 pounds of nice, salable 

 section honey ; no white clover honey. 

 Bees went into winter quarters well 

 supplied with honey.

Bees All Right So Far. 



Bees in New England are all right so

 fered a fine opportunity for a thorough 

 flight. The thermometer registered 46 

 in the shade; there was little wind, 

 and the sky was clear the whole day 

 long. There should be no occasion for 

 severe loss from long winter confine- 

 ment this year. My own bees seem to 

 be in excellent condition.

Problem of Wintering Bees. 



The article by Allen Latham, page 

 8SS (1904), on wintering bees, is a

 one very essential part — that of an 

 upward passage. Very likely he has a 

 bee-space above the frames, but many 

 do not have. I have kept bees over 25 

 years and can not remember losing one 

 colony in wintering. But I have always 

 read several good bee-papers. 



I think over one-half of the loss of 

 bees last winter was because the bees
