The bees refuse to 



healthy and title looking; 

 work in sections. 



We had a warm winter, and the bees were 

 very strong and active in March, and had 

 hives full of brood. We had a cold May, and 

 brood-rearing checked. In June we had a 

 freeze that killed all bloom, and bees almost 

 starved. During the freeze, and after, a 

 great many bees went out and never came 

 back in their hives. In spite of heavy feeding 

 brood-rearing almost ceased, and bees nearly 

 starved. About .July ,t the alfalfa bloom 

 seemed to begin to yield honey all at once, 

 and the bees within two or three days tilled 

 every cell with honey, and as they had be- 

 come somewhat weakened in .June they were 

 not in condition to till the sections, so they 

 are cramming every cell in the brood-chamber 

 with honey and doing almost nothing in sec- 

 tions, and getting weaker every day. As there 

 is now a very severe drouth we are likely to 

 have our first experience in failure this year. 



The colonies having a super of half-depth 

 extracling-frames fared some better, as the 

 bees began to till them as soon as the honey 

 came, and when I raised them and put sec- 

 tions under, the work went right on as long 

 as the honey-flow lasted, and the brood-chaii- 

 ber was relieved so that those colonies are in 

 fair condition. I have extracted some of the 

 small frames and given them to the bees that 

 had no brood, and it acts like a charm. The 

 bees are storing in the extracting-combs and 

 giving the queens room so that the colonies 

 may be in condition for a flow if we have one. 



I am getting to be a stronger advocate of 

 producing both comb and extracted honey at
