Bees in Good Condition. 



I took my bees out of the cellar today, 

 and they had a fine flight. All are in good 

 condition except one colony. They have 

 considerable sealed brood and larva-.

Getting Bees to Work on Heal. 



Some correspondent asks what will draw 

 bees to work on meal for bee-bread or pol- 

 len in the spring before blossoms appear. 

 I have kept bees 25 years, and I never failed 

 to get the bees on it within 15 minutes, if a 

 few drops of essence of anise are sprink- 

 led near it. C. Hopgicins.

All in Pretty Good Condition. 



The average yield per colony was about 

 100 pounds of honey last year, in this neigh- 

 borhood. I wintered about 60 colonies on the 

 summer stands, which are all alive and in 

 pretty good condition. I am very well 

 pleased with the " Old Reliable."

Trying Year on Bees. 



1 have IT colonies of bees — 16 in No. 1 

 condition. The past year was a trying one 

 on bees. I fed 400 pounds of sugar during 

 the fall, winter, and spring, while my 

 neighbors just let their bees go. 



I need the American Bee Journal in my 

 business. There are good propects for 

 honey this year. A. R. Yandell.

Bees Breeding Up Fast. 



The past winter was a hard one on bees 

 in this part of the State. I have heard of 

 a great many bees near me that starved 

 and froze to death, tho my loss is very 

 small. The prospects for a honey crop are 

 good. The bees are breeding up as fast as 

 I ever knew them at this time of the year. 

 They have been gathering pollen from the 

 elm and maple for some time.

Spring in All Its Glory. 



I made a success in changing my bees 

 last week from box-hives to movable-frame 

 hives. March has been our winter month 

 here, but spring has opened now in all its 

 glory. The fruit trees are beginning to 

 bloom, and the wild flowers. The bees are 

 doing finely on their foundation. This is 

 my fnrst experience in the bee business, ex- 

 cept cutting several bee-trees. I have a 

 good many to cut this spring.

Expects a Good Year. 



Bees came through the winter outdoors 

 without loss. All are strong, and lots of 

 young bees taking their first flight every 

 fine, sunshiny day. They workt on maple 

 blossoms before the last freeze, which killed 

 most of the blossoms. You no doubt know 

 that the maple trees do not all bloom at 

 the same time— some of them are just in
