come through the winter nicely, ex- 

 cept one colony, and on examination 

 1 found that to be entirely destitute 

 of bees, with the brood -chamber full 

 of drone comb. They are all strong 

 now. have plenty of honey in store, 

 lots of brood, and are in every way in 

 a healthy condition. We are expect- 

 ing a grand ingathering of honey this 

 summer. Bees all over Northeastern 

 Ohio, that were properly cared for in 

 the fall, are getting along well. We 

 are now passing through a severe 

 snow-storm from the northeast, and 

 now the snow is about one foot in 

 depth, and still it is snowing. What 

 effect it will have on the bees, time 

 will tell.

 producers should get the Leaflets "Why Eat
