buy 2 or 3 milch cows, and while looking for 

 them I ran across a man that had a number 

 of colonies of bees in logs that he got in the 

 woods. He said they were wild bees, but the 

 honey was sweet. I gave him $5 for one, got 

 it home, and it swarmed in a few days. Then 

 I started with 3 colonies, in about a month 

 from the time I sold out. So you see I still 

 had the fever. 



About the year 1860, when I had 100 colo- 

 nies in box-hives, I heard of the Langstroth 

 frame hive. I got a sample, made hives of 

 that style, and transferred 60. I keep the 

 best Italians I can get, and change every third 

 or fourth year. I have a mill, make my own 

 foundation and some for the neighbors. I 

 aim to keep about 50 colonies over winter. 



To keep back swarming I give plenty of 

 room and shade. 



To avoid absconding I give each new swarm 

 a frame of brood of all ages, with frames of 

 drawn comb as starters. 



To avoid after-swarms I pick out all queen- 

 cells but one on the 6th day after swarming. 



To avoid robbing I keep strong colonies, 

 and don't leave honey lying around to tempt 

 them to rob. 



I have about all the books that treat on 

 bees, and I take the American Bee .lournal, 

 (ilea'nings in Bee Culture, and the Bee-Keep- 

 ers' Review. 



I have owned and handled bees for 73 years 

 and still have the fever. John Cline.
