Bees in Fine Condition for Winter. 



My 73 colonies of Italian bees are in 

 the very best condition for wintering. I 

 have made a 21-foot addition to my bee- 

 cellar. S. C. SWANSON.

Honey a Failure in Quebec. 



My bees did not give me enough sur- 

 plus honey to pay my subscription to the 

 American Bee Journal, although I hope 

 they will have sufficient to feed them- 

 selves during the winter. Honey was a 

 failure in tlie Province of Quebec the 

 past season. Ziph. Boyer.

Small Hives for Wintering. 



I am an advocate of small hives for 

 cold climates, and would say to Mr. 

 Wisconsin (see page 630) that if he has 

 everything in good condition he need 

 not be afraid to winter his bees in six- 

 frime hives, for I have wintered very 

 successfully in six-frame hives for four 

 winters, even if Dr. Miller does say they 

 will play out. A complete hive of the 

 Danzenbaker patteru would be too ex- 

 pensive for general use, I think : but I 

 will try them for ISMS.

Report for the Past Season. 



My summer's work, or my fall report, 

 has not yet been sent in bnt I will try to 

 do so now. 



I started last spring with 43 colonies, 

 increast to 6.5, and got about llOO 

 pounds of comb honey in 1 pound sec- 

 tions. I reared over 100 queens, re- 

 queened my entire apiaiy, except -1 colo- 

 nies which were saved for a special pur- 

 pose. In the spring I bought a breeder 

 that was warranted to produce bees that 

 would work on red clover the same as 

 white. I had her safely introduced, 

 and reared a number of as fine queens 

 as I ever saw. Now, in order to improve 

 my stock, I sent direct to Italy, last 

 August, and bought one of their queens, 

 of which I feel proud. She was caged, 

 not in a Benton cage, but in a box 6x7, 

 by 4 inches deep, having 3 small frames 

 of comb and capt honey, and a water- 

 bjttle in i'l with a'lout 100 bees with 

 the queen. They were sent by express, 

 and were IS days on their journey, and 

 the queen was as lively as I ever re- 

 ceived any that were on their journey 

 bnt two days. Now if all goes well I 

 will breed from the imported and rear 

 my drones for mating purposes from the 

 red clover strain, which I think will 

 make a very desirable cross. My aim is 

 to breed up a bee that is a leather color, 

 and will winter on the suipmer stands, 

 and work red clover more, and each ^ear 

 until I will have a perfect red clover bee. 



I this year had a great deal more clo- 

 ver honey than buckwheat; as a general 

 thing we get only buckwheat honey in 

 this section, but white, red, and Alsike 

 clover were very abundant this year, 

 and our bees made good use of it. I do 

 not want to say that we had not the 

 clovers other years to secure a crop of 

 clover honey, but we let our bees swarm.
