went after the queen first, and got her 

 into the new hive, and then shook the 

 bees off the combs on a blanket in front 

 of the new hive, and all was done. 

 There was scarcely any brood to speak 

 of, and whatthorf was I covered up and 

 took to a warm room to transfer. I was 

 careful to cut out all of the drone-comb, 

 or nearly so, and replace it with worker- 

 comb. 



I examined the transferred colonies 

 May 15, and found them very strong in 

 bees, and also in brood, and all at work. 

 The prospects arc good now for a good 

 honey-yield here this season. 



Albert G. Palmer. 



Otsego Co., N. Y., May 17. 



P. S. — The first colony that 1 started 

 with to transfer, swarmed, and also got 

 100 pounds of surplus honey from it, 

 and fr»m the new swarm 50 pounds, 

 besides 40 to 45 pounds each for winter 

 stores. A. G. P. 



Old-Xixne Honey-Year Expected. 



Bees in this part of east Tennessee 

 and southwest Virginia (we are right on 

 the dividing line of the two States) win- 

 tered well, and are now in splendid con- 

 dition to gather the precious nectar, 

 which seems to be ready to shower down 

 upon us in profusion, as it were. White 

 clover is blooming almost everywhere 

 this spring, along the roadside, in the 

 old fields, in fence corners, and, in fact, 

 the whole earth presents a lovely flower- 

 garden. It looks now as if we were 

 going to have an "old-time" honey- 

 year. Last year was good, and we will 

 be thankful for another like it, but the 

 present prospects indicate a much better 

 year for ISUT. M. D. Ande.s.

Good Outlook for Honey Crop. 



I havo 15 colonies of bees ready for 

 business. The outlook for a good honey 

 crop is very promising, but the weather 

 is rather cool and wet now. 



I am afraid that if we down all of the 

 frauds there won't be much business 

 left, but I say down them, all the same.

Preparing Bees for Winter. 



Heretofore on my return from Florida 

 in the spring. I would find some dead colo- 

 nies of bees; now dead colonies in the 

 spring require more work than live ones, 

 and I resolved to see if I could not prevent 

 it. With this end in view, la.st fall I pre 

 pared each colony for winter, with my own 

 hands. 1 was sure that they all had abun- 

 dance of stores to last until flowers bloomed. 



We use the S frame Langstroth hive, 

 with cap and cover separate. I would put 

 on a Hill's device, then spread on a thick, 

 unbleacht-mus-lin sheet, cut so large that it 

 would extend a little over the sides of the 

 hive in all directions; then put on the cap, 

 which shut down over the muslin, holding 

 it tightly, thus [ireventing the possibility 

 of a hee getting up into the cap. Then I 

 put in a covering of dry. soft maple leaves, 

 two or three inches in depth ; I was careful 

 to work them into the corners; they were 

 dry, soft and curly. Above the leaves was

 warm weather, just as good as frt-sh ones for 

 cooking and frosting. One man paid 10 cents 

 a dozen for the eggs he preserved, and then 

 later sold them for 25 cents a doz n. You can 

 preserve them tor about 1 cent i»er dozen. 

 Now is the time to do It, while eggs are cheap.
