run the point of the scissors under one or 

 both wings, and clip. Then I let the queen 

 run back on the same frame about the center, 

 when I can see that the bees begin to feed 

 her and that she is not molested, after which 

 the frame is put back in the hive. I use a 

 queen-trap because in so doing the queen 

 does not get the scent from my Angers, and is 

 not £0 likely to be balled. 



The bees are now storing some honey, as 

 the orange-trees are beginning to bloom and 

 tbe pears and olives are in full liloom. 



Some one wrote of bees needing water dur- 

 ing the past month. My bees used over 2 

 large pailfuls of water. I keep it in several 

 places for them, as they need It during brood- 

 rearing. 



Most of my colonies are in a bee-house, and 

 I wish I had room "for all of them there, as it 

 is so fixed that no ants can get in to molest 

 the bees. The sills rest on brick and cement 

 piers with a space filled with water. 



I am expecting to go back to Ohio in April 

 to see how the bees there are getting along. 

 There has not been a day that those I have 

 here have not had a flight, although there 

 were a few mornings that were very cold, but 

 the afternoons were warmer. 



I secured about 2 tons of honey last season.

The 



Full vs. Light-Weight Sections 



Hurrah ! for Mr. L. V. Ricketts and his 16- 

 ounce section of honey, page 229. Well, I 

 felt so tickled when I read his article that 1 

 could not help going right to work to write 

 something, no matter bow foolish it might 

 read, especially to the advocates and practi- 

 tioners of light-weight sections. But my expe- 

 rience Id selling honey is practically the same 

 as that of Mr. Ricketts. I gave my views on 

 the full-weight sections in these columns last
