nothing In Mr. Doollttle's book solving 

 this question. 



Rev. M. Mahin — I have tried many ex- 

 periments In that line, but without any 

 success. I know that queens have been 

 fertilized that could not fly. Two cases 

 of the kind have come under my obser- 

 vation, one in my boyhood, and one some 

 years ago. My father dipt a queen's 

 wing, and after coming out every day 

 for a week or so, she ceast to come out, 

 and the ne.xt snmraer came out with a 

 large swarm. A few years ago I dipt 

 the wing of a virgin queen to prevent 

 the killing of some choice drones, as I 

 wanted them to fertilize some young 

 queens. After my other queens were 

 fertilized I went to the hive, and found 

 that my dipt queen had just become fer- 

 tile, and I sold her the next spring for 

 three dollars. But I have little hope 

 that the fertilization of queens in con- 

 finement can ever be made a success. 



Bee-Keeping in Old Mexico. 



The people here are only awakening to 

 modern bee-keeping, and I am proud to 

 say, that the most part of it is due to my 

 efforts. We have very hot weather now, 

 without rain, and bees are working with 

 all vigor. The rains let them work only 

 half a day. The best harvest time is 

 from September to May. I find many 

 valuable kinks in the American Bee 

 Journal, so much more valuable for me, 

 as I have to find out everything for my- 

 self. I hope it will prosper for a long 

 time, and its editor, too. F. Bussler. 



Mexico, Aug., 12. 



Almost My " Waterloo." 



The morning of July 30 was warm 

 and sticky. It lookt and felt as tho rain 

 might fall any moment. But those su- 

 pers had to be put on, or perhaps lose a 

 valuable swarm. Somehow I had mis- 

 givings of trouble — my courage was not 

 up to its occasional standard ; but — as 1 

 said — those supers certainly ought to top 

 that hive. 



By considerable mental persuasion I 

 put on the veil, got the smoker to do its 

 best, buttoned up my coat collar, and 

 started. I took off the top cover, peekt 

 in — bees attenting strictly to business. 

 I gave them a dose of smoke to let them 

 know that I — their master — was around. 

 By the time I got the super ready to put 

 over them they showed, as I interpreted 

 it, a somewhat rebellious spirit. Well, 

 1 couldn't allow such temper, so I ap- 

 plied the smoker again. But this time 

 it failed to smudge — the fire had gone 

 out just at the supreme moment. Those 

 pesky varmints seemed to understand, 

 and came at me so cordially that I re- 

 treated like a man — with several stings 

 in my hide to prove my valor. 



Now my Milesian courage was up. I'd 

 see about teaching these winged in- 

 grates ! I'd have no foolishness this 

 time. I made a furnace fire iu that old 

 smoker ; gave it a few vigorous puffs to 

 make certain of its business intentions ; 

 took a closer recif in my bee-veil, and as- 

 sumed the mien of a veteran. Forward 

 — front face ! 



This second assault was a success — 

 partly. They were In force in line of

 or any Other Supplies.
