and the next morning- went back to work, 

 and so continued, except when it rained, until 

 I had all the honey in what sections it re- 

 quired, and the other sections cleaned ready 

 for spring. 



I found that it lost about 20 percent by 

 being handled in this way, but I think that 

 was better than having a lot of sticky combs 

 around all winter, and the muss of putting 

 them in supers in the spring. 



Bees guarded the entrance to the supers as 

 well as they did the entrance to their hive, 

 and there was no signs of robbery after the 

 tirst day, although I worked them about two 

 weeks. 



As fast as they would clean up a lot of sec- 

 tions I would remove them and put others in 

 their place to be cleaned. On the colony I 

 tiered up the same as I would in a honey-liow, 

 only I used those sections which were more 

 than half full. 



As I was only experimenting I tried but 

 one colony, but if I had many partially tilled 

 sections 1 would work enough eolonier to do 

 the work in a much shorter time, and I would 

 use only very strong colonies.

Too Wet and Cold for Bees. 



It was very cold and wet all through the 

 spring, so the bees did not get built up very 

 strong until the middle of .June, and then 

 there was nothing for them to do. It rained 

 al»ut lialf of the time, and it was too cold for 

 them to fly the other halt. 



I never saw so much white clover in bloom 

 in my life as this year, but not a bee to he 

 seen upon any of it, and I do not see how 

 they have done as well as they have, but they 

 have found something, for they have stored 

 some amber-colored honey, and some black 

 as ink, which I think is honey-dew. We may 

 get a short flow from goldenrod if the weather 

 is so they can work. James Quinn.

Foul Brood— The Rosemary Cure. 



My first experience with foul brood was in 

 the summer of 1890. I had never seen a case 

 and did not know we had any in the com- 

 munity. I was working for extracted honey 

 almost exclusively, therefore I had no occa- 

 sion to go into the brood-ehamber for exami- 

 nation, until I observed something of a seri- 

 ous nature was the trouble with some of my 

 best colonies— they were on the decrease. 

 Then I began to examine them. I had 49 col- 

 onies, and had been extracting and exchang- 

 ing frames from one to the other, so I had 

 scattered the disease thoroughly, through the 

 apiary. Then I put on my thinking-cap, and 

 wondered what was the trouble, and what 

 would be the remedy. I began to read up, 

 and was soon convinced that my bees had 

 foul brood, and in the worst form. 



The honey season about closed, and the rob- 

 bers ready to get in their work as soon as I 

 took the cover off the hive. I tried the shak- 

 ing process but it was not a success. During 

 the next season it closed the business out for 

 me. My neighljors had a few colonies and I 

 began to look at them and found a number of 

 cases of foul brood, so I concluded I would 

 better keep out of the business for a while, 

 believing it would not be long before they 

 would be out also. I knew they had had no 

 experience with the disease, and as long as 

 the disease was in our community it was use- 

 less for me to attempt to keep bees, so I laid 

 off until 1S99, and came through all right that 

 year. One of my neighbors had 3 colonies, 

 and one of them died with the disease that 

 winter. The next season I had two cases of 

 it ; the honey season came on, and one even- 

 ing after they had all come in from the lield, 

 I closed the hives and took them away about 

 halt a mile from the apiary. The next morn- 

 ing I built a fire near them, and set an empty 

 hive beside them, with a few frames with 

 narrow strips of foundation in tliem; I 

 opened the hives and shook the bees in front 

 of the clean hive, so the ijees could enter it, 

 and put the frames and combs, and unhatched 

 lirood, on the fire where the flames consumed 

 them ; then I returned the bees to their former 

 place in the apiary. After 4 days I took away
