Tested Queens by Return Mail, 

 — $1.00Each-^ 



We have a larg^e number of Choice Tested 

 Queens, reared last September and October, and 

 wintered in 4 frame nuclei; these queens are 

 vigorous and prolific, and of our fine strain of 

 Three Band Italians. Just the queens to build 

 op weak colonies. Try them. Send for circular.

back to looli at them I found that the most of 

 the nuclei had smothered and the frames were 

 broken down. The thermometer was 90 de- 

 grees at the time. 



But I didn't get discouraged. I gave the 

 nuclei more bees and queen-cells, but didn't 

 bother alMut stopping the entrances. In 

 some of the nuclei the bees left to such an 

 extent that there were not enough to start 

 the queen to laying. 



After I got the first batch of queens out I 

 gave more cells from other colonies, and more 

 trouble followed. None of these queens were 

 any good, so I gave them more queen-cells in 

 queen-cages, but only onej hatched, and it 

 died soon after. 



The mistake il made was in giving queen- 

 cells to nuclei that already had queens. 

 However, the bees have paid for themselves, 

 so I may do better another year.

Wintering Bees 



I have kept bees for five years, but with 

 the farm and stoclf work I did not give them 

 the care they ought to have had and the con- 

 sequence is I lost !'• out of 8 from the severe 

 cold; they had an abiiadance of stores. I did 

 not have regular hives, just box-hives which 

 I made. I wintered them on the summer 

 stands but believe they are like poultry, if 

 you want them to thrive and be ready for 

 business when spring opens you must give 

 them comfortable winter quarters. I am in a 

 pretty good location, near the timber where 

 there is plenty of enrly flowers; then white 

 clover, then basswoi, 1. 1 think my family is 

 he^,lthier since we had plenty of honey to use.
