than average loss. The season so far has been 

 dryer than last but we look for rain soon. 

 Farm crops are in good condition — spring 

 grain all in, and farmers are waiting for corn- 

 planting weather to get to work at that.

Bees in Good Condition 



Bees have wintered very well up to date; in 

 fact, I never saw bees show so little signs of 

 dysentery when they were placed on the sum- 

 mer stands as they did this spring. I have 

 160 colonies.

Last Season a Very Poof One 



The season of I'wM was a very poor one for 

 honey in this locality. I commenced in the 

 spring with 18 colonies, and my honey crop 

 was about 400 pounds. I now have 31 colo- 

 nies. My bees are coming out on cold days 

 and dying on the snow. I have kept bees for 

 30 years, and never had eo many come out on 

 cold days before. I packed them on the 

 summer stands better than I ever did.

Bees Wintered Splendidly in a Cave 



The last was a pcur season in this locality. 

 Not very much surplus honey, but the bees 

 built up in good sb.ipe for winter. I put 51 

 colonies in a cave bxiiix6 feet, and lookout 

 49 and one queenkss, there being only one 

 dead colony. I ttiiul; this excellent, consid- 

 ering the crowded condition. 



Last year my buter half did most of the 

 hiving of swaruit, my professional work 

 keeping me at tii' office almost all of the 

 time during swar 'j-time. I intend to quit 

 practicing in a y ■; or two. I am going 

 North, and intend '.. keep about 300 colonies
