Bees Doing: Well 



Bees wintered well on the summer stands. 

 No losses. One swarm came off yesterday, a 

 good, large one. Hived nicely. Is this the 

 first swarm reported this season in this region? 

 One colony is working in the super. We hope 

 for a good honey season. A, B. Mettlek.

 swarms that have been reported to us. —

Heavy Winter Losses— Good Pfos- 

 peets 



Apple-trees are in bloom now and bees are 

 doing very well, but we still have some frost 

 at nights. Some of my colonies in 12-frame 

 hives have 9 frames of brood. The winter 

 loss seemed very heavy just in this immediate 

 locality, but mostly from lack of feed. There 

 were also a great many queenless colonies 

 this spring, and some spring dwindling. 



Clover never looked more promising, and if 

 nothing happens to prevent it we will have 

 another 1903, I have found some queen-cells 

 in my best colonies, Harvey Smith.

Shalien Swarms Without Shaiiinpr 



On pages 411,459,493,520, (1904) will be 

 found references to a plan which I stated on 

 page 411 under the head of " Shaken Swarms 

 Without Shaking." I do not remember to 

 have seen any other mention of it. I would 

 like to call the attention of the readers to it,
