AMERICAN BEE JOURNAi-. 



prospect of soon gathering plenty for daily 

 supplies. In March I found them working 

 freely on the monntains in the northern 

 part of the same State, and among the 

 mountains of North Carolina, where I was 

 stopping at the time of the great freeze the 

 last week in March. 



By the way, I have just had a letter from 

 North Carolina, saying that the plum and 

 cherry trees have bloomed again ; also the 

 strawberry vines, which were in bloom at 

 the time of the freeze, and apparently de- 

 stroyed. The thermometer registered 16 

 degrees where I was stopping. 



At all the places I visited 8-frame hives 

 were used, and Mr. Jenkins, of Wetumpka, 

 finds the 8-frame hive the choice in the 

 South. Although I have always used a 10- 

 frame hive in New Hampshire, if I were 

 going to the South to keep bees I should do 

 as the rest do, and get 8-frame hives. I 

 think th^ will hold stores enough there. 



I was much pleased with my trip through 

 Alabama, from Mobile to the extreme 

 northern part of the State. A portion of 

 the State is not favorable for bees, as the 

 land is covered largely with pine forests.
