doing the best I could with what I had. I in- 

 creaeed to 35 colonies and sold about $125 

 worth of honey. 



I am wintering them in a house above 

 ground, and they seem to be all right. I put 

 them into winter quarters the first weelf in 

 November, and they will not see daylight un- 

 til April. 



I watch for all the answers to questions in 

 the Bee Journal with great interest, trying to 

 learn something. But the things that puzzle 

 me seem to puzzle old experts, too. 



I supposed there was no difference between 

 a worker-egg and a drone-egg, and that a 

 worker or a drone could be produced from 

 any kind of an egg, as I know a queen is pro- 

 duced from a worker-egg. 



I had a case or two of what I think was fou! 

 brood last summer. I think it was ciused by 

 the brood being scalded or overheated. I had 

 to put them in a sheltered place to keep off

Ahead of Shook -Swarming! 



The March Review is now in course of prepa- 

 ration, and will be out abont the middle of the 

 month. One article in this issue will be by 

 H. G. Sibbald, of Canada, and he will describe 

 a new system of manafiremeut that promises to 

 be away ahead of shook-swarming^. It has 

 these advantages: No shaking of the bees; no 

 handling of the brood; no possibility of the 

 queen being in the wrong hive; no danger of 

 after-swarming; no increase unless desired (but 

 easy to secure if wanted) ; no queen-cells to hunt 

 up and destroy ; yet the whole force of bees may 

 be kept together the whole season, and each 



colony may be requeened with a queen from a 

 naturally-built cell. 



This is only a single article in one issue of 

 the Review, but it Is a fair sample of the in- 

 formation that you are los n^ if yon don't read 

 the Review, and what you will gain if yon do 

 read it. Send $1 00 for the Review for 1905, or, 

 if you prefer, send 10 cents, and when the March 

 issue is out a copy will be sent you, and the 10 

 cents may apply on any subscription sent in 

 during the year.
