North and West. All I have done to my 

 hives is to take the supers off, and let the 

 hives remain on the summer stands. There 

 has not been 10 days all told this winter 

 that the bees did not fly ; they are bringing 

 in pollen now. We have no great flow of 

 honey from any one plant, but we have 

 wild and cultivated flowers from March 

 until November. Our nearest bee supply 

 house is 2(1(1 miles away, therefore the box- 

 hives, log-gums, and black bees predomi- 

 nate in this part o£ the country,

Bees Were in Good Condition, 



My bees went into winter quarters in fine 

 condition. Some of them that were in 12- 

 frame hives had over 10(J pounds of honey. 

 I have a swartn that came off Oct. 10, and 

 stored some honey, but I am feeding them ; 

 they have brood in the hive now. They are 

 in the sitting-room where it is very warm. 

 I see there is some difference of opinion 

 as to hives. I like the large hives best, as 

 the swarms are so much larger, and do bet- 

 ter. I cut 33 bee-trees last summer, and I 

 noticed that when they bad lots of room 

 they had enough bees to fill it with honey. 

 Where the cavity was small, they usually 

 didn't have it full for want of comb to 

 breed in, H, Gilbert.

Better Than the Dailies. 



I would not do without the American 

 Bee Journal for the money, for there is 

 more news in it than half of the daily 

 papers that cost four or five dollars a year.

Bees Wintering Well. 



Bees (13.5 colonies) are wintering well. 

 We had a good crop of honey, and all is 

 sold, with calls for more. Success to the

Bees Helpt Him Out. 



I am very much interested in the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal, and if I had a little more 

 room for my bees I would go right into the 

 business. 1 had only 8 colonies last spring, 

 got about 700 pounds of comb honey, 

 and increast to 13 colonies, and that was a 

 help during a 7-fnonths' strike.

Wintering Well— Cold m Tennessee. 



Bees have stood the winter well so far, 

 and are in fine condition. I have run an 

 apiary for the past 20 years, and have not 

 had bees winter better. It is cold at this 

 writing — down to zero this morning.

Bees Wintering Well. 



I am wintering 110 colonies of bees this 

 winter. They are doing well. They pro- 

 duced last summer about 5,000 pounds of 

 comb honey ; they didn't swarm much last 

 summer. I have had bees here about 30 

 years. I used to keep them in the box- 

 hive. William Fleming.

Hope for Good Season. 



The bees seem to be wintering all right so 

 far. I put an even lOOcolonies in the cellar 

 this winter. There was not much honey 

 produced in this cotinty last season. I had 

 only about 400 pounds of surplus honey 

 from 70 colonies, spring count, all dark or 

 fall honey, no light honey. There are a 

 few bee-keepers that did a little better than 

 that in localities where there are but few 

 bees kept, but through the county generally 

 there was but very little surplus honey 

 gathered, tho nearly all gathered enough 

 for winter stores late in the season, mostly 

 after about Aug. 20. But perhaps what
