Bee-Locations in Virginia and 

 Maryland 



In answer to Mr. John H. Oren, page 284, I 

 would like to say: I should not consider 

 either Virginia or .Maryland specially good 

 States for bee-keeping. Tou say you hope 

 " to do better where the summers are longer 

 and the winters less severe," I should strongly 

 advise your going further south than the 

 above-mentioncJ States. I append some sta- 

 tistics of winti r weather here for the years 

 mentioned :
