my children established certain routes where 

 they peddled the honey, and in a little while 

 it took them about a week to supply their 

 customers who bought readily and regularly. 

 In this way 1 might have sold much more 



The same year I offered to sell a merchant 

 some at 2 pounds for 35 cents, and he replied 

 that he could sell me some at 7 cents a pound. 

 I asked him how he could do that, and he 

 said, " Oh, don't believe that it is real honey ; 

 it's glucose". I really believe that mer- 

 chants believe in honey very little. 



Can any experienced bee-keeper tell me 

 whether or not it would be wise for a man 

 getting an average of S15 a week to discon- 

 tinue his work and go to bee-keeping in the 

 the vicinity of Chicago? G. H. Kienzlb.

Bees Stored Little Surplus Honey. 



My G" colonies of bees did not do very well 

 last season. They gave only TOO pounds of 

 surplus honey against 3500 the year before. 

 Moving from Alabama to Mississippi I think 

 is the cause, together with the season not 

 being favorable. 



The worst of the winter weather is now 

 upon us. Last year at this time the bees were 

 gathering pollen freely from elms, alders and 

 maples. 



I enjoy reading the reports of the sub- 

 scribers, and hope each will report his ups 

 anil downs. R. V. Gos3.

Bees Did Very Well. 



My bees did well last year. I wintered 

 them on the summer stands, losing one col- 

 ony. I increased from 10 last spring to 20, 

 and secured 12S4 pounds of surplus honey,

The Fruit of the Vine. — Autumn 

 seems a long way off when snows of winter 

 have scarcely gone. But the agriculturist 

 must be a man who looks far ahead and lays 

 his plans for the future. Summer will be 

 well on the wane before the purple clusters of 

 grapes hang in juicy lusciousness on the 

 vines. It is then that most people will be 

 thinking about grapes. But the grape-grower 

 has to be thinking at)out what the harvest 

 will be Icng, long before— several years be- 

 fore, in fact, for it takes time to develop a 

 good vineyard. Mr. Louis Roesch. of Fre- 

 donia, N. Y., makes a specialty of fine grape- 

 vines — he has over 800,000 of them for sale, 

 including some 69 different varieties besides 

 trees and small fruits. Any one intending to 

 set out vines or small fruits may obtain a 

 descriptive price-list free by addressing Mr. 

 Roesch, who is a specialist in this line. Send 

 for his catalog, and mention the American 

 Bee Journal when writing.
