THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 343 



not. 3'our photographer will. If you employ a photographer to do 

 3'onr work, he will likely tell you that developinr^ paper will do just 

 as well, it being easier to work. All cheap work now-a-days is 

 done with developing paper. Tell him I said use Gloss Printing 

 Out Paper, and tone to a deep purple or black, then squeegee. 



The popular sepia tone, which is very fine in its place, is not 

 suitable for halftones. — [Townsend.] 



We Have Moved. 



About June 1, 1912, the last car of bees was moved from Remus, 

 Mecosta Co., our old-time address, to Gratiot Co. The car consisted 

 of mostly supplies and empty hives, for a considerable number of 

 the bees had died during the past cold winter. From now on my 

 postoffice address will be Xorthstar, Gratiot Co., Mich., instead of 

 Remus, where so many have been in the habit of writing me in the 

 past. There ought to be a reason for all things, and there is for 

 this move. In the first place, the hone)^ that the bees gather in this 

 old, well-cleared location is of a considerably better quality than that 

 at the old location. Then we have been getting just as much honey 

 here in Gratiot as in Alecosta Co. — some seasons a little more — and 

 as the price is always somewhat more for the better grade of honey, 

 it is another reason for moving what bees were left up there down 

 here. 



We have 350 swarms at our Charlevoix Co. yards that are in 

 charge of my oldest son, Delbert. This is our raspberry and willow- 

 herb location, and it is a good location, too. Our 700 colonies are 

 now grouped in two locations, Charlevoix Co. and Gratiot Co., 

 instead of three locations, as in the past. • 



We have a big cellar that we winter our bees in, in Charlevoix 

 Co., while these here in Gratiot are wintered, four in a packing case, 

 out-of-doors. Thus far the cellar wintered bees have outstripped 

 the (lUtside wintered bees. Rut more anon. — [Townsend.] 



Honey Crop Reports. 



In the reports Avhich follow, the first figure will denote the 

 number of reports received from the state named ; the second will 

 be the number of colonies reported for the spring of 1!)11 ; the third 

 will be the num.ber of colonies for the spring of 1912 ; the fourth 

 will be the number of pounds of honey produced in 1911; and the 

 fifth or last will be the number of pounds of honey reported for 

 1912. In some cases the figures for this year are an estimate, as 

 the flow was not over when the report was made. This would be 

 especially true wdiere there is a fall crop. But where the honey is 

 from clover, bassv/ood and raspberry, the figures given are no doubt 

 pretty nearly correct.
