combs, getting about 30 pounds of wax. I 

 put sheets of foundation between the parlly- 

 fllled combs, and kept all queens supplied 

 with full sheets of foundation for laying-room. 

 I regard that particular colony as a wonder. 



Our leather-colored bees are on top as 

 honey-gatherers. I have not figured up the 

 profit on those bees, but if the 6 colonies are 

 alive the first of April I would not take «50 

 for them. 



With my 97 colonies in 1900 I thought I 

 had things pat, but, like Paddy's flea, when 

 he put his finger on it it was not there, and 

 my bees vanished like the smoke that helped 

 to destroy them. It now looks as if the be- 

 ginning of the end of smelter smoke is in 

 sight, but I will report later if the good news 

 proves true. 



Mr. Hasty said last spring that I had thrown 

 up my hat for the 1000-pound mark, and he 

 thought if some one would give figures in- 

 stead of assertions it would be better. Now 

 this figure has been reached in this State 

 many times, but it must not be inferred that 

 1000 pounds of honey has been taken from 

 one hive. It is always figured "spring 

 count " — one colony and its increase during 

 the season. E. S. Lovest.
