 ginners, timid bee-keepers and to those who 

 keep bees in town. If you want to try this race, 

 or if you want to improve the stock i f your Ital-

Putting » Weilk Colony Over n Strong 

 One. 



My bees - i hrouffh the winl er 



alive, :iii imi in,,, nucleus. I put 9 col- 

 onies into the cellar and took out 8 on 

 April in. i found -I quite weak, so I 

 thought i would try K. \v. Alexander's 

 plan "[' putting them over a strong 

 colony, wiiii ;m excluder ntween the 

 two brood-chambers, only I didn't wait 

 until they had uncapped brood, as 

 he advises doing, hut 1 put them over 

 a strong colonj as soon as I took them 

 out of the cellar, and saw that thev 

 had queens, but it may not work. 

 However, I don't see Why they won't 

 do as well as if they had uncapped 

 brood, as tin- queens had started to 

 lay. There were a very few eggs in 

 the brood-combs. I will write later 

 and tell how they rime through. 



My bees are bringing in pollen in 

 fine shape to-day. I am farther north 

 than most el' He- bee-keepers, but bees 

 do pretty well here; but our springs 

 are later here in northern Wisconsin.
