Journal, so I gave him one, and told him how 

 it taught us of the decided advantages of the 

 new hives over the box-hives. He said he had 

 been getting along with his bees for about 20 

 years without the help of a bee-paper, and 

 guessed he didn't need any. 



For the last 12 years I have been a black- 

 smith, and in the spring of 1903 I bought 4 

 colonies of black bees from one of those hap- 

 hazard bee-keepers. They were in some kind 

 of movable-frame hives, but the comb was 

 built in all kinds of shape. 1 wanted to Ital- 

 ianize them, but waited for them to swarm. I 

 sent for a couple of queens — first subscribing 

 for the American Bee Journal — cut out the 

 crooked combs and divided 2 colonies. I then 

 got a bee-book and went to work. But I want 

 to say that I give one copy of the American 

 Bee Journal the whole credit for saving the 

 life of one of my queens. Every time I looked 

 into the newly divided colonies after putting 

 in the caged queens, I hoped to see the queens 

 crawling around among the bees. At last the 

 bees freed the queens and balled one of them. 

 Now I was at a standstill, and started a letter 

 to one of my friends to find out what to do. 

 As luck would have it the Bee Journal came 

 that night, and 1 began to look through it 

 when I noticed a heading about balling 

 queens. The good man that wrote it told how 

 to drop the ball in a pan of water to get the 

 queen out. I could hardly wait until the next 

 morning, when 1 'baptized" that ball of bees 

 in great style. 1 got the queen, and put her 

 on the top-bar, aiul that was the end of my 

 trouble in introducing. I worked after the 

 instructions of tho Bee Journal and "ABC of 

 Bee Culture," and built my 4 colonies up to 

 13 last year, have brought them through the 

 winter in good condition, and they are work- 

 ing nicely. J. D. Pasi^ay.
