Did Well Last Season. 



My bees did well last season, but I do not 

 know how they will come out in the spring as 

 it has been so very cold and dry during the 

 winter, but they are in good condition now. 



I am the only bee-keeper that takes any 

 reading at all, but the others run after me to 

 take care of their bees, and want it done for 

 friendship's sake. It seems as if I could npt 

 get along without the Journal,

More Rain Expected. 



We had a fine rain here in Orange county 



about 3 inches up in the mountain— last week. 

 It is cloudy to-day, and we will have some 

 more rain soon. The sage is starting finely, 

 from which the bees will gather the water- 

 white honey ne.xt spring, if we have later 

 rains. 



I sold ,5 tons of honey last year for 4 and 43^ 

 cents per pound. There is no market for 

 honey here. I have 200 colonies of bees in 

 good condition, almost all Italians. I run 

 two apiaries 4i.^ miles apart, 100 colonies in 

 each apiary. F. S. Buchheim.

Poop Season fop Bees. 



The weather has been so very dry the past 

 season that the bees barely lived, and gave 

 scarcely any surplus, except "a hundred pounds 

 or so, taken from brood-nest where they had 

 too many combs for wintering, which was 

 extracted. Our extracted honey has sold bet- 

 ter candied than in the liquid form the past 

 few years. The grocer can then dish it out 

 on his little trays or butter-dishes just as he 

 does butter or lard, and it is not so dauby to 

 handle as when in the liquid form.

Wopking on Red Clover. 



Bees are wintering splendidly so far. To 

 this date I have not lost a colony. I look for- 

 ward to a successful year, for the white clover 

 in this vicinity was excellent when winter set 

 in, and the red clover is in good shape so far. 

 I am convinced that the latter clover was the 

 source from which the bulk of the honey came 

 here. For the last two years the bees 

 have been working well on red clover in this 

 vicinity. Chauncet Reynolds.

A Woman's Report— Ppopolis. 



Seeing so many reports in the American Bee 

 Journal of many apiaries and honey crops in- 

 duces me to try and describe our success 

 among bees. 



Our apiary is situated about 8 miles east 

 and a little south of Longmont, and in a real, 

 good locality. But the country is nearly filled 

 up with bees, and more coming in. 



My husband ranabout 200 colonies last year, 

 and got 700 cases of 24 sections in a case, and 

 only about 200 pounds of extracted honey. 

 We did a great deal better than a good many 

 bee-men in this part of the county. It would 

 have been a great deal better if we had had 

 more moisture from July on through the fall. 



This year we intend to run about 300 colo- 

 nies. Bees are selling here for SS to $7 per 

 colony. 



The bees gather nearly all the honey from 

 sweet clover, alfalfa and Rocky Mountain bee- 

 jilant. 



Can you tell us about the sale of propolis 

 or bee-glue, whether there is any demand for 

 it, and liow we shall prei)ar(' it for market?
