A Young Bee-KeepeFs' Report. 



lam a befe'inner in the bee-keeping businessi 

 I have 4 colonies. The first part of the sea- 

 son of 19U2 was cold and rainy, and I had to 

 feed them The fall was very poor, and they 

 produced only 25 pounds of honey per colony ; 

 one colony alone filled three supers. I will 

 have more to say some other time. I am but 

 16 years old. Wm. Cotekdale. 



.Jackson Co., Iowa, Oct. 10. 



Had to Feed fop Winter. 



There has not been any frost here this fall^ 

 and catnip, white clover, and dandelions ar& 

 still in bloom. My bees did not store enough 

 honey to winter on. so I fed sugar syrup.

Worst Season for Bees. 



I have kept bees for 25 years, and find that 

 the past season has been the worst one for 

 bees, in this locality. I have seen. 



Last spring I had 21 colonies. X fed them $3- 

 worth of sugar to stimulate them, and it just 

 kept them from starving. Two colonies did 

 starve before I noticed them. 



I got no swarms, but caught two that 

 had been driven out by some cause ; they had 

 come some distance, as there are no bees with- 

 in five miles of this village. I had to double 

 thera up or they would have starved, although 

 they were large swarms. 



My bees hung out all summer, and they 

 seemed to do but little good. There was so 

 much rain and cold wind they could not do 

 much, and it continued cold all through June 

 and until July 25, when it cleared up and 

 turned warm. The smartweed bloomed in 

 abundance with the catnip, and they went to 

 work \vith a will — they were all on the move. 

 It lasted only 10 or 12 days; the weather got 

 colder, and a light frost coming set them back 

 and drove them down from the sections. If 

 they could have had ten days more of good 

 weather they would have filled everything, 

 but as it is some of the sections were filled. I 

 think they are in good shape to winter; the 

 hives are heavy with stores. S. T. Crim.

Cltpplng Queens— Moving Bees. 



Referring to the editorial on page tJ43, on 

 clipping devices, I will say that I use a pair 

 of surgeon's scissors (or finger-nail scissors) 

 for clipping rjueens' wings. The points curve, 

 and by holding them with the points curving 

 up, the wing can be clipped easily without 

 removing the queen from the comb, and with- 

 out the least danger of injury to her legs. I 

 never hesitate to pick her up, and have never 

 had one injured by so doing. I have always 

 carried a pair of scissors since I was a boy. I 

 have a pair that shut uji like a knife. I could
