Bees Wintering Nicely. 



I have S.") colonies of bees, and put them in 

 the whiter bouse Nov. 27; they were in good 

 condition. I think they ai'e wintering nicely. 

 I got about ):i of a crop of honey last season. 



Seott Co., iowa, Feb. 7. E. R. Wright. 



A Profitable Pleasure. 



I keep only a- few colonies of bees, more for 

 pleasure than anything else, and to pay me 

 for the good time I had with them last sum- 

 mer they gave me 1,000 pounds of tine honey 

 (comb and extracted). This was from 18 

 colonies, spring count, with an increase to 22. 

 that are now in the cell.ar in good condition. 



The American Bee Journal is all right, and 

 I am not afraid to promise that as long as I 

 keep bees I will have the Bee .Journal also, 

 because I am sure I could not get along 

 without it and keep bees. So you can be sure 

 it is a welcome visitor to me every time.

For the Type-Setting Machine. 



Here goes a dollar for 11102. and as soon as 

 that type-setting machine is ready I will send 

 another, or more, if needed. 



It is a blank proposition, and, commencing 

 at the " Foote '' of the ladder, let us, like the 

 Irishman, average up until the machine is a 

 realitv. Brother bee-keepers, the bugle 

 sounds. Fall in line ! Geo. Ferguson.

Bae Books and Papers. 



The advice to the bee-keeper who cannot af- 

 ford to buy a text-book and at the same time 

 subscribe for a bee-paper (page S3) is all 

 wrong, in my experience. I have read all the 

 apiarian text-books published in America, 

 and, it I had to do without all the text- 

 books, or have one bee-paper, I would take 

 the paper; but I would want to select the 

 paper. ■ 



A bee-keeper who cannot afford one good 

 book, and a bee-paper besides, is indeed a 

 very poor bee-keeper in more ways than one.

An Experience with Bees. 



My bees did fairly well last season, 20 col- 

 onies averaging about 40 pounds each, 

 all housed in winter-eases with 3,'5 pounds of 

 stores each. 



For the past 4 years I have been quite studi- 

 ous in bee-keeping, reading text-books and 

 bee-papers as well. 



Though unlike most others in the begin- 

 ning, it was not the love 1 had for the bees — 

 more selfish, perhaps. Four years ago I 

 visited my brother John, living in Maryland. 

 I was suffering terribly with rheumatism, and 

 had been suffering tor years with paralysis in 

 my right leg. Well, 1 complained so much 

 my brother said (laughingly), get some bees. 

 .Speaking more seriously. 1 concluded it could 

 do no harm, if I could endure the stings. 

 " Well." said he, " there is something to 

 learn about bees that you may not enjoy— bee- 

 culture has recently become a science; you
