March 23, 1905. 



like to know how to transfer the bees from 

 the box-hives, and also the latest method (or 

 working bees in movable-frame hives for sec- 

 tion honey. 



The bees have ample stores of good honey. 

 They are in box-hives in the cellar, 20 in 

 double-walled, and the rest in dovetailed 

 hives. George R. Kelly. 



Cooper Co., Mo., Feb. 6. 



[Any of the standard bee-books give full 

 details tor transferring bees from box-hives 

 into movable-frame hives ; also by studying 

 such books, and this Journal from week to 

 week, any one will soon get the latest methods 

 of working for comb or section honey.— Ed.] 



Foul Brood— Bees Wintering Well. 



Bees did fairly well the fore part of last 

 season, but the middle and latter part they 

 did very little. I got no surplus honey last 

 year, and had to feed a great deal for winter 

 stores. I found some dead brood, which I 

 fear was foul brood and will make its appear- 

 ance again this year. If it is foul brood it is 

 something that never appeared in this locality 

 bfif ore 



The bees seem to be wintering well, al- 

 though we are having rather cold weather, 

 the temperature being as low as 14 degrees 

 below zero at one time, and it is very cold to- 

 day.

Rains in California. 



We have the February rains I mentioned a 

 month ago, and now we look forward to the 

 March rains. If we get them our season will 

 be all a bee-keeper can desire. We will show 

 those Texans what California can do. We 

 have just had such abundant rains that even 

 it we did not get any in March, and but 2 

 inches or so in April, it would give us a good 

 crop of honey. Our winter has Iseen unusually 

 mild — only one or two frosts.

 by one of the masters, and shows in minutest 

 detail just how Dr. Miller does things with 

 bees. Price, tl.OO.

Where Honesty Paid.— Near Shenan- 

 doah, in the famous Iowa corn-belt, lies 

 Sleepy Hollow Farm. Here, some 11 years 

 ago, a young market gardener concluded that 

 instead of confining his efforts to gardening 

 for the consumer, he might as well be raising 

 seed for the producer. Having been raised a 

 gardener, his early experience and training 

 rendered him peculiarly adapted to the busi- 

 ness of a seedsman ; to anticipate the needs 

 and avoid causing the trouble and annoyance 

 which so often vex the patience of the truck 

 farmer. At the start he determined that only 

 reliable seeds should be sold under his name, 

 and only those he could guarantee; that full 

 measure, just weight, and true description 

 should be the rule. He began by making his 

 neighbors his first customers, and they soon 

 discovered that in him they had a man who 

 could always be depended upon to furnish 

 nothing but honest goods. They spread the 

 news to others, and the ever widening circle 

 of pleased patrons necessitated the steady in- 

 crease of his facilities, until now the name of 

 Henry Field, Seedsman, or, as he is often 

 called, the " Ear Seed Corn Man ", is known 

 far and wide among farmers and gardeners 

 throughout the Middle West. His annual 

 catalog is a mine of information on seed sub- 

 jects, and a carefully prepared list of good 

 things to be found in the " Red Packet " seed 

 packages, red packet being Mr. Field's method 

 of identifying the seeds shipped from his es- 

 tablishment. Before purchasing seed it is 

 worth while securing a copy of Mr. Field's 

 catalog, which he sends free of charge, and 

 becoming acquainted with the good things he 

 offers. The 1905 edition is now being sent 

 out. Please mention the American Bee Jour- 

 nal when writing.
