Simplicity hives, and give good room for 

 a key-board. I use halfof them open on 

 three sides, putting the wide or closed 

 sides at the ends ot the frames, thereby 

 forming a case at no cost, that answers 

 every practical purpose of Danzeubaker's 

 hive. I make the frames of lath to hold 

 8 sections 4Jix4)i, and as the sections 

 form an outside case, they adjust them- 

 selves to any width of sections and give a 

 bee-space above and below. I use the 

 middle two sections open on all sides, be- 

 cause It gives the bees openings to move 

 through the case in all directions. 



Now as to the honey-dew that was 

 mentioned as falling, out in Idaho. It 

 makes me tired to hear a beekeeper 

 speak of a heavy fall of honey-dew, un- 

 less he simply means that it falls from 

 the aphis. Uriah Stephenson.

The Season in Vermont. 



This has been one of the worst springs 

 for bees in Vermont that I ever knew. 

 As a rule bees wintered finely, and were 

 breeding up well in the spring until the 

 cold weather came. It rained a great 

 deal of the time, and when it did not 

 rain it was so cold they could not work 

 any, so they secured little or no honey 

 from fruit-bloom. 



All through June strong colonies were 

 killing their drones, and were on the 

 verge of starvation. Clover opened 15 

 days later than it did last year, there- 

 fore I had to resort to feeding to keep 

 the colonies alive, but since July 1, and 

 the warm weather commenced, white 

 clover opened very fast, and now the 

 bees are boocning and gatherii;g honey 

 the fastest they ever did from clover, 

 and should this weather continue we will 

 secure a good crop of clover hoiioy yet. 



I am experimenting along different 

 lines with the bees, and may report the 

 results later. A. VV. Darhv.

Keeping Bees in North Dakota. 



Our bees have not done as well this 

 season as last. To begin wiili. we had 

 high water in the spring and they had 

 to be taken out of the cellar before the 

 weather was favorable, and in conse- 

 quence many colonies wore greatly re- 

 duced In numbers. We also had an 

 unusual amount of wind and cold 



weather. There were several days in 

 succession in which the bees could not 

 be out. In the last two weeks it has 

 rained very hard at times, and we have 

 also had some very hot weather. White 

 clover is now at its best, and some honey 

 is being brought in, but not as fast as 

 we would like to see It. 



Last season we had 18 colonies, 

 spring count, increast to 40, and ex- 

 tracted 1,400 pounds, mostly all very 

 good honey, which we sold in the home 

 market. Our first swarm came off June 

 15, and we began extracting on the 

 26th. 



So far this season we have not had a 

 swarm, nor have we extracted any, but 

 some are getting strong in numbers, and 

 are putting in some surplus which we 

 expect to take off this week. 



We were the first to keep bees in this 

 locality, and have started four others, 

 three of whom are doing well. Our 

 friend, Di. Richter, lost all of his dur- 

 ing the winter, but we believe that the 

 Doctor nas grit enough to try it aeain.
