Prospects Good. 



I have 8 colonies of Italian bees. They 

 wintered all right, and the prospects are 

 good here for a good crop of honey.

Good Weather for Honey-Flow. 



I took 120 pounds of honey from 3 

 hives May 18, and sold it here yesterday 

 quite readily. The weather is good for 

 the honey-flow, John M. Rv.^^n.

Working on Sweet Clover. 



Bees are doing well — just beginning to 

 work on yellow sweet clover and white 

 clover. White sweet clover will be in 

 bloom in about two weeks.

New Honey Taken Off. 



Bees are working in good shape. I 

 put a swarm into a dovetailed hive April 

 16 ; ten days after I put on supers, and 

 on May 12 I took off 24 pounds of as 

 nicely capt honey as one could wish to 

 see. C. A. Walks. 



Tipton Co., Tenn,, May 13, 



Early Swarming. 



It seems to me all my bees are ahead 

 of my work. I have already hived a 

 swarm May (3, and another prime swarm 

 May 16, and I expect the rest of the 

 colonies to swarm any day. 



Chas Griesbach, 



Clay Co., Ind., May 21. 



Working in the Supers 



Bees are doing finely. The pasture, 

 roadsides and every nook and corner is 

 growing white with the bloom of clover, 

 and the bees are just humming. Some 

 colonies are working in the supers — 10 

 days early for this locality.

Experience in Transferring, 



I am well pleased with the American 

 Bee Journal ; it is a source of much in- 

 formation to me. I started in bee-keep- 

 ing In the spring of 1896 with one col- 

 ony of bees, after reading and re-read- 

 ing " A BC of Bee-Culture" and " Lang- 

 stroth on the Honey-Bee, Revised by 

 Dadant." I purchased 12 colonies In 

 the fall of 1896, in chaff hives which I 

 wintered outdoors, and only lost one 

 colony. I preferred to transfer them to 

 the Qiiinby closed-end frame, so I could 

 have my hive>) all alike, and frames and 

 supers. It came off very warm in March, 

 and I went at them to transfer them. To 

 commence with, I bored M-'nch holes In 

 the now Quinby frames, about 4 Inches 

 apart, and got some thorns about 2}i 

 to 3 inches long, and thorned In a set of 

 combs, and went to the first hive to 

 transfer. I moved the old hive off of 

 the stand and set the new one In Its 

 place, I smoked the colony a little, and
