natural swarm flies over the land they go like 

 a flying martin. I lost 2 swarms last year, 

 and one the year before. Last year 2 that left 

 returned, and one of them tried to go into the 

 hive from which I had lost a swarm. It 

 seemed to know where it belonged. 



One day my father found a swarm of bees 

 on a bush, hived them, and took them home. 

 I went back with a box to get the bees that 

 were left. Father said they would do noth- 

 ing without a queen, so I got a wasp's-nest 

 and put it in with my bees, and waited until 

 they hatched out, then I called papa, but he 

 hardly thought they were the right kind of 

 ■' queens," so 1 quit. 



I think I heard my papa say when I was a 

 little boy that I had a great-uncle named Dr. 

 C. C. Miller, who was a mighty bee-keeper.

Small Winter Loss— Good Prospects 



Though we have had one of the most severe 

 winters since 18S0-S1, I lost only one colony 

 and had 3 queenless out of 39, and I had 

 them all on the summer stands except 13, 

 which I have at my home in town. They 

 were in a basement lor about 3 weeks in Feb- 

 ruary, but those on my farm were on the sum- 

 mer stands throughout the winter. I looked 

 them over about 3 weeks ago, and find they 

 have plenty of stores. 



This is about the nicest month of March we 

 ever had. The wheat and grass are looking 

 hne, and there is a good prospect for another 

 good crop of honey. I led my bees well last 

 September, and now they are very strong.

Bees Wintered Well 



The bees having wintered well packed in 

 oats in winter cases, began to bring in some 

 pollen to-day, and on examination 1 found 

 some had larvse already, I do not believe I 

 will ever try another way to winter bees th^ 

 by packing the hives in winter-cases, in chaff, 

 oats, or similar material. 



1 read the American Bee Journal with 

 great pleasure and profit. There has been 

 practically nothing in it, the smallest letter 

 not excepted, that has not taught me some- 

 thing. It is not only instructive, but is also 

 inspFring and encouraging to one's advance- 

 ment in bee culture. 1 believe that with its 

 help I shall make a success in bee-keeping.

Select To ted Queens— Carniolans, 

 Italians and Blacks 



In 1902 1 bought a select- tested Italian queen, 

 I could not wish for better-marked drones, 

 but the workers vary from one to 3 bands. 

 She could not have been purely mated. Her 

 daughter in the old hive mated with a drone 

 from the old hive— in fact there were no other 

 drones but black ones to mate with. This
