Bees Doing Well— Closed End-Bars 



The summer of 1904 was a pretty good one 

 with bees in this locality. In 1903 I got a 

 crop of only 400 pounds from 33 colonies, 

 and half of it I had to teed back. This, with 

 six previous years of poor crops, discouragea 

 me. I did not give them the attention they 

 ought to have had. and the consequence was 

 that I lost until only 28 colonies were left. 

 Eight of them were very weak, and it took all 

 summer for them to build up. But I secured 

 1800 pounds of honey from the 20 that were 

 in a better condition. I had taken care of 

 one colony in first-class style, and secured 

 from it l.W pounds of surplus, and had 35 

 pounds in the brood-nest, besides a great deal 

 of pollen. 



Last fall I provided each of them with 

 about 30 pounds of honey, besides frames of 

 pollen, and I set aside 80 frames of honey and
