Bees in Fine Condition 



Bees are in line condition for tiiis time ot 

 the year, as I never saw them winter any 

 nicer. Out of 112 colonies I lost only 3. They 

 are commencing to bring in pollen, and other- 

 wise enjoying themseWes after their long 

 winter's nap. 



I enjoy reading the American Bee Journal, 

 and look forward to every Thursday, as 1 

 know that is the day it will come.

Cool Weather for Bees 



It is too'cool for bees. There was a 50 per- 

 cent general loss of bees this spring. I lost 

 about 1.5 percent. White clover is in abun- 

 dance. H. W. Heckler.

Georgia as a Honey Country 



In reply to the request for information con- 

 cerning the eastern part of Georgia as a bee 

 and honey country, I will say that bee-keep- 

 ing is proHtable in the eastern part, and there 

 are many locations where the business would 

 be very paying. These localities would be 

 found mostly in the south-eastern portion. 



We get our surplus honey mostly from the 

 following sources: Gallberry, poplar, gums, 

 holly, sumac, and golden-rod. With these 

 plants in a location, bee-keeping is paying. 



I would be glad at any time to furnish more 

 information concerning Georgia as a honey- 

 producing State. J. J. Wilder.

Wintered Well and Good Prospect 



The bees have, wintered very well, and the 

 prospect is fairly good for a honey crop.

A Beginner Heard From 



I am a beginner in bee-keeping, having pur- 

 chased the Hrst colony last June. They were 

 Italians, and showed that they were expert 

 swarmers. They swarmed 5 times, 2 swarms
