A GENUINE 



Egg Preservative 



That will keep Hen's Egirs perfectly through 

 wartn weather, just as good as fre.sh ones for 

 cooking anil froellng. One man paid 10 cents 

 a dozen lor the eggs he preserved, and then 

 later sold them for 25 cents a dozen. You can 

 preserve them lor about 1 cent per dozen. 

 Now is the time to do it. while eggs are cheap.

the house — at least it looks so, from the 

 way the bees take up the water, 



I supply it to them not more than five 

 feet from the front of the hives, I keep 

 my bees iu a long shed,, in a single row, 

 and do all the work with them from the 

 rear, having lots of room for all my 

 empty hives and supers, which are 

 always at hand and ready. In one cor- 

 ner on a shelf I set a large keg, with a 

 small faucet in it, which you can set to 

 a steady drip, or just enough for the 

 bees without any waste. I connect this 

 arrangement with a trough which is five 

 feet from the front of hive. The trough 

 arrangement is the same as was de- 

 scribed on page 204 of the Bee Journal, 

 only I have always used 2x4 scantling 

 with inch holes bored }|-iach deep, 5 

 inches apart, each hole connected by 

 cutting a small groove, so that when one 

 hole fills up it runs over and fills the 

 nctt, and so on ; and by filling the last 

 half of the holes with salt, the bees have 

 fresh and salt water both. I notice the 

 bees are always thickest around the 

 salt-water half of the trough. Salt 

 water is another thing which I believe is 

 Indispensable in the apalry,

Largest Yield of Honey Expected. 



On Decoration Day I had 34 swarms, 

 at^d on June 9 49 swarms— altogether 

 179 swarms this season, from SO colo- 

 nies, spring count. I think 1 will have 

 fully as many more. I already have the 

 second super on some hives, having 

 already filled one. This is the earliest 

 honey we .'"ver realized in this commu- 

 nity. The yellow sweet clover has now 

 been out four weeks, and the white is 

 not yet out. The prospects are for the 

 largest yield of honey in the history of 

 the State. J. L. Gandy.

Swarming in Texas. 



I put into winter quarters seven colo- 

 nies of bees, which came through in 

 good condition, and now I have 17 ; five 

 of them swarmed twice, and then I cut 

 the queen-cells out and would not let 

 them swarm any more ; the other two 

 didn't swarm any, tho they may swarm 

 in July and August. We have two 

 swarming seasons here in one year — 

 April and May, and July and August. 



I noticed in the last Bee Journal that 

 Mr. York had some bees that he thought 

 swarmed quite early— May 16, I call 

 that quite late. My bees had gotten 

 over the swarming fever then. My first 

 swarm came out March 16, and they 

 will commence swarming again about 

 the middle of July. J. M. Jeffcoat.

Good Prospects for Honey. 



My 13 colonies wintered well in the 

 cellar, but one lost their queen, which I 

 didn't find out till they had become quite 

 weak, and as my hives are of various 

 sizes, and no foundation used so as to 

 start the combs straight, I could not 

 well save them, so It leaves me with an 

 oven dozen, 



I have secured for future swarms the 

 10-fraine dovetailed hive, and shall put 

 In comb foundation. I have filled in the 

 empty comb from the hive where the 

 bees died, as far as it would go, and shall
