his bees by packing them in wet saw- 

 dust. I pack my bees in saw-dust, but 

 have it perfectly dry, and they do well. 

 As the cold winter is approaching I am 

 preparing to spend the cold days in get- 

 ting ready for next summer. 



I was well pleased with the discussion 

 in the Bee Journal about the bee-space. 

 If a man does not want a bee-space he 

 has a perfect right not to have it. When 

 I first commenced keeping bees I had all 

 kinds of hives, and all sizes of sections 

 and bee-spaces from }i to % of an inch, 

 and when I took off a super I would get 

 a common dinner-plate full of comb and 

 honey. I have taken and remodeled all 

 of my hives and supers, so that my 

 supersor brood-frames will fit every hive. 

 I have come to the conclusion that )4 of 

 an inch is space enough. I use the T 

 tin, and have discarded all of my pattern 

 slats ; you could notchase me fastenough 

 to give me 1000 of them, except for 

 kindling wood. But this Is a free coun- 

 try, and a man has a right to use them 

 if he wants to. Another thing is, the 

 tight bottoms. I have discarded them 

 also. 



I would not know how to get along 

 without the Bee Journal, and I often 

 wonder how some people pretend to get 

 along without it. E. H. Huffman.

Bees Did Well. 



My bees have done very well this year. 

 The American Bee Journal is a great 

 help to me, and I look forward to Fri- 

 day morning of each week, as it seldom 

 falls to come then. James Ives.

Beginning with Bees. 



I knew nothing about bees till we 

 bought 8 colonies in box-hives last 

 spring. We were anxious to get them in 

 shape so we could do something with 

 them, so my husband made one hive and 

 that did not just suit so he made another 

 for the second colony, and still another 

 for the third, so you see we had I! colo- 

 nies in 3 different kinds of hives, all diff- 

 erent size frames, so we could not do 

 much with them. We made a total fail- 

 ure this year with bees, but we take the 

 Bee Journal now (or my mother in our 

 family does) and hope to do better if we 

 can get started. Mr.s. Ruth F. Stull.

Cool, Wet Summer. 



We have had a cool, wet summer in 

 this part of the State. White clover, 

 altbo plentiful, yielded but little. Bass- 

 wood was damaged by the caterpillar, 

 but buckwheat and second crop of red 

 clover yielded very well. I have a crop 

 of about 1300 pounds of comb honey 

 from 30 colonies, spring count, and I 

 have increast to 611 by natural swarming. 

 My bees were about half In box-hives In 

 the spring, but I have the most of them 

 in 8 and iJ frame dovetail hives now. 

 Most of my bees are Italians and hybrids.
