Bee-Outlook this Year. 



I have 2T colonies at present. The 

 queens are active, and they have built 

 up well. They have been storing nectar 

 from poplar most of this month, and the 

 last two weeks from white clover. I wi 

 have to extract next week.

Hope Blasted. 



The spring has proved so unpropitious, 

 and losses so heavy through this section, 

 that many bee-keepers are quite discour- 

 aged. The caterpillars are destroying 

 the foliage on the basswood and many 

 other forest trees, and oirr hope of a 

 large crop of honey is blasted.

Clipping Queens — Hiving S-warms. 



About three weeks ago I dipt one 

 wing of each of my queens, using the 

 Mouette queen-clipping device, and it 

 workt fine. I would not keep even a 

 few bees without it. But I was reminded 

 of the old lady's recipe for making rab- 

 bit pot-pie. She commenced by saying, 

 " First get your rabbit." But after find- 

 ing my queen, the rest almost did itself, 

 and I could find them much quicker after 

 a little practice than at first. 



About a week after I had my first ex- 

 perience in hiving a swann with a dipt 

 queen. They came out and clustered 

 just as I came home at noon, and I soon 

 had the queen in the "device " (which, 

 by the way, is just the thing to pick 

 them up with), and by the time I had 

 the old hive on its new stand, and a new 

 one in its place, with full foundatiou and 

 one frame of brood from the old hive, 

 they broke cluster and came back. I 

 let the queen out, and saw her go in and 

 the bees poured in after her, and all was 

 lovely. 



My next experience was with two 

 swarms, that had just clustered together 

 as I came home at noon. 



I was expecting swarms from Nos. 1, 

 7 and 8 ; I caught my queen in front of 

 No. 7, and without thinking of there
