Good Year for Bees. 



Tills lias biHMi a ;;oo(I yriir- hen* for ticcs anil 

 honey. Most of tlu; lioiioy lias hccii liirlit, 

 very little dark lioney in my croii. My bees 

 averafXeti over llH) poiiiuls to the eolony, aiul I 

 have disposctl of almost all of it at a t^ood 

 price in tlie horm^ market. M. Best.

A California Report. 



My crop from l^tj oolonles (in fair condi- 

 tion) was 22,514 pounds of extracted honey, 

 with an liiereuse of 10 colonies. I now have 

 2tW eolouies. I make my increase in the 

 valley out of a low grade of lioney. I keep 

 down increase in tlie mountains by ^Ivinj^ 

 room and ventilation. My crop sold in the 

 retail way at h to 7 cents a pound.

Orange Co., Calif., Dec. 3. 



Report for 1901. 



My bees did well the past season, yielding 

 an average of about 70 pounds of comb honey 

 per colony. H. G. Wykoff. 



Warren Co., Iowa, Dec. 12. 



Results of the Past Season. 



Last spring I had 30 colonies of bees, and I 

 secured lUlO pounds of comb honey and 12U0 

 pounds of extracted, besides increasing to 49 

 colonies. JonN Eenigenburg.

Not a Good Season for Bees. 



I met with a bad accident a little over a 

 year ago. My horse ran away and I broke 

 my hip at the joint. I can not walk a step 

 without crutches. The surgeon tells me that 

 I can walk pretty well in auother year, but I 

 am afraid he is mistaken, as it has been over 

 a year since it was broken, and I can not step 

 on it yet. I have to hire a man to take care 

 of my bees. I put 50 colonies, apparently in 

 good order, into the cellar Dec. 4. 



The ])ast was not a very good season for 

 honey here, being too dry. I had about 1300 

 pounds of nice honey, which sold at 12 cents 

 per pound. 



I like the American Bee Journal very 

 much, and don't want to do without it as 

 long as I keep bees. W. L. Mitchell. 



Whiteside Co., 111., Dec. 14. 



Bees Did Well. 



My bees did well this year for this part of 

 the country. I have about 110 colonies, and 

 had a little over three tons of honey in one- 

 pound sections. Two eolouies produced a 

 little over 200 pounds each. Wm. M. Dick. 



Ford Co., 111., Dec. 14. 



First Summer With Bees. 



This is my first summer with bees: I got 

 plenty of stings, but no honey. I also had 

 some experience with transferring and rob- 

 bing. 



I have three colonies of bees, the third being 

 very late, and reared a good deal of brood in 

 September and October. -I thought tbej' must 

 be fed, so I made sugar syrup and fed it in a 

 Boardmau feeder, placing the feeder in the 

 center of the entrance. This left space on 

 both sides of the feeder, and it wasn't ver}' 

 long before the other two colonies were rob- 

 bing the feeder, and the hive, too. Altliough
