Bees Seem All Right. 



My bees are in the cellar, and seem to he all 

 right. The temperature is froui 45 to 4S de- 

 grees. Geo. a. Oh.mert. 



Dubuque Co., Iowa. Jan, 6. 



Bottom Frame-Spacers, Etc. 



I have l.ieeii a subscriber to the American 

 Bee .Journal for nearly two years, and I am 

 much interested in all it contains; but I do 

 not remember to have seen anything written 

 about two things, of wliioh I claim to be tlae 

 originator. First, it is a piece of tin so 

 notched out as to allow 'the brood-frames to 

 lit to the notches, which piece is nailed to the 

 bottom-board about half way of its length. 

 This arrangement holds the frame steady, and 

 they can't by any means get irregular, and is 

 a very valuable convenience. 



The next is this : Instead of using a honey- 

 board on top of the supers, I have adopted a 

 piece of crocus or gunny-sacli cut in shape to 

 fit over the super, and to hang down an inch 

 or so on all sides on the outside. Of course, 

 the bees will sticli it to the top of the sections 

 or super-frames — so they will a honey-board ; 

 but with my arrangement you can easily pull 

 it up when necessary, and look in, and replace 

 it. With the honey-board you have to pry. 

 and pry. and split, and worry considerable 

 before you can get it up, and very often split 

 it before it will come up. It has another 

 advantage: It can be managed to act as a 

 ventilator in the hot summer, by placing an 

 inch strip of wood over the lop, and let the 

 top of the hive rest on the strip. This gives a 

 gentle draft of air from above, and not too 

 strong to interfere with comb-ljuilding. Has 

 any one tried these two arrangements ;

 Adams Co., Miss., Dec. 13. 



[Notched arrangements of wood, wire, and 

 perhaps tin, for holding bottom-bars in place, 

 were in use perhaps 4U years ago. Covers or 

 gunny-sack or other cloth were also used to 

 some extent some years ago. — Editor.] 



A Woman's Report fop 1901. 



It was a poor year for bees; late spring, 

 then a drouth, then too much rain, and then 

 no fall flow of honey. Some colonies did well 

 for me, but I did not average a dollar to the 

 hive. I sold all the honey I had at Ih and 'Jtl 

 cents a pound, and could have sold more to 

 my customers if I had had it. 



All the bees have plenty of stores for win- 

 ter, unless it is one colony that I was moving 

 to another part of the yard, and noticed it 

 felt rather light. I will make candy and keep 

 it under the Hill's device, and under the cush- 

 ion, so that, if they should be short, Ihey can 

 get it. One of the grocerymen last fall gave 

 me a lot of candy that had become unsalable. 

 I was afraid of the coloring, so I kept it until 

 spring and used it as I have spoken of before. 

 \Vhen I took out the cushions they had it all 

 used up. and such a mess of bees as I had; 

 they made a lot of com!;) in the sections in the 

 fall, but could not get honey to fill them, so I 

 will have nearly a litindred to commence with 

 in the spring, the most of them full of comb. 



I have not seen any one hive bees as I do, 

 and as I get so many helps in the American 

 Bee Journal. I feel that it is my duty to give 

 others the benefit of my experience. So be- 

 fore swarming-time next season I will give 

 my waj' of hiving them. 



I get the sections cleaned, and those that 

 have not much honey in them I take a super 

 and put in four section-holders and put it in 

 a hive which I think has a little comb, and 

 uncap where the honey is. and put them in 

 on the section-holders, and cover it up; the 



Tn make cows pay. nse Sharpies Cream .Separators. Book
