ing up Si feet, and on tlio inside; down to 

 within (i inches of the floor. There is no ven- 

 tilation aljove IS inches from the lloor. liy 

 tierini; them up I could put ^50 colonies in it. 

 I expect to put 100 colonies in. There Is a 

 space of lU inches between all the hives and 

 the floor. 



In 188" I put 6.5 colonies into a similar cel- 

 lar, 12.^14 feet, with a wooden chimney 8x12, 

 which came down to within 3 inches of the 

 lloor. I did not lose one colony, and every 

 one of the tl.i was lit to divide when taken out 

 in ttte spring. 



The bee-industry of Milwaukee county was 

 a total failure last year. We hope for a good 

 season this year. W. K. Kennicott.

[The first cellar mentioned ought to give 

 good results, especially as a similar cellar 

 did so well. As it is a matter of importance j 

 to provide as much as possible against 

 changes from outside temperature, it might 

 have been well to fur out and make a hollow 

 wall, at least as far down as the wall is un- 

 protected by the outside ground.— Editor.] 



Good WinteFing Record 



I have just commenced taking my bees out 

 of winter quarters. Last Saturday I took out 

 190 colonies, all alive. To-day I have taken 

 out 140 colonies, 3 being dead. To-morrow I 

 ■expect to put out another yard, and keep on 

 until all are out. N. D. West.

Early Pollen-Gathering 



Four pretty days all right together, and the 

 bees are bringing in pollen lively. They did 

 it only once earlier than this in 20 years. 

 That was on the 13th. 8. A. Matson.

CONVENTION NOTICES. 



Michigan. — The Northern Michigan Bee- 

 Keepers' Association will hold its next annual 

 convention at East Jordan, Mich., on April 

 10 and 11, 1907. Headquarters will be at the 

 Russell House, where a $1.00 per day rate has 

 been secured. Ira D. Bartlett, Sec. 



East Jordan, Mich. 



Connecticut. — The 16th annual conven- 

 tion of the Connecticut Bee-Keepers' Asso- 

 ciaaion will be held in the State Capitol, 

 Hartford, room 50, on Saturday, April 6, 1907. 

 We believe that every wide-awake apiarist in 

 the State knows that our Association is un- 

 selfishly seeking to assist and protect the bee- 

 keepers in every way possible. During the 

 past few months apiculture has probably been 

 more generally discussed than at any other 

 period in the history of the State, because of 

 our attempt to secure proper bee-disease legis- 

 lation. Bee-keeping now, as never before, is 

 regarded as an important agricultural indus- 

 try in Connecticut, and our Assaciation pro- 

 poses to continue its campaign of education. A 

 lengthy program has been prepared for the 

 next meeting, and it is expected that several 

 noted speakers will be present. Every bee- 

 keeper is cordially invited to attend. Please 

 bring choice samples of honey, or anything 

 of interest, for the apiarian exhibit. Mem- 

 bership in the Association is but 50 cents a 

 year. We want 500 new members. Please 

 make remittances to the undersigned before 

 the date of the meeting, and be sure to come 

 yourself. J. Arthur Smith, Sec.
