ceived, the queens having been taken fron> 

 full colonies, when they were at the height of 

 egg-laying. If they had come from baby nu- 

 clei where they never had an opportunity to- 

 reach their full capacity in egg-laying, no- 

 doubt they would have proved satisfactory. 



While southern queen-breeders are bene- 

 fited by the use of baby nuclei, I think we 

 have shown that the buyers are benefited also. 

 While queen-rearing is our leading pursuit 

 we have not lost sight of the fact that our 

 success depends upon the quality of the 

 queens that we sent out. We know that the 

 baby nucleus is now receiving its criticism,, 

 but the more criticism it gets the more favor 

 will come to it from the investigations drawn 

 out by its users. Be sure it has come to stay. 

 We hope it may prove beneficial also to north- 

 ern bee-keepers. John W. Pharb.

Prospects in Mississippi 



Farming operations are moving nicely. 

 Corn is being worked and cotton planted. 

 Melons are up, tomatoes are put out in the 

 field, and peas are being shipped. Cabbage 

 prospects are promising, some beginning to- 

 head. 



1 have had two swarms of bees this spring, 

 one coming out to-day. We keep only a few 

 colonies for our own use. There are so many 

 bees in this part of the country that honey 

 does not sell very rapidly in the local market, 

 often going at 5 cents per pound. Here we 

 also have an abundance of home-made sugar- 

 cane syrup, which to the average southern 

 palate is far superior to the honey.

Shook Swarms— Foul Brood 



I have read so many things in the American 

 Bee Journal that I feel like writing some- 

 thing to try to help some of my brother bee- 

 keepers. I am surrounded by foul brood, and 

 boil everything thoroughly that the bees have 

 used. 



I shake my bees every other year, or half of 

 them every year, getting my increase from 

 the other half by natural swarming. I com- 

 mence on the strongest as early as I think
