Severe Winter for Bees. 



Our bees have bad quite a hard time here, 

 as the winter so far was exceptionally 

 severe, with no rain to speak of. It raiu 

 will not set in soon and plentiful, we are 

 sure to go through another season worse 

 than last. p. A, SioLi,

Had to Feed for Winter. 



Last year I got a fraction over .5(1 pounds 

 of honey per colony, but I had to feed for 

 winter about 70 pounds of sugar, without 

 cooking. This I did the latter part of Octo- 

 ber and the first of November, The bees 

 are doing well on it. I have 15 colonies.

Foul Brood Treatment in England. 



In my report of Mr, Cowan's address be- 

 fore the California Bee-Keepers' Associa- 

 tion, publisht on page S5, the idea might be 

 conveyed that the bee-keeper in England, 

 in treating foul brood, resorted In all cases 

 to extermination. The discussion at the 

 meeting bad a tendency to that effect, and 

 the error might have crept in from that 

 source. To place the matter right, I will 

 quote from the •■British Bee-Keepers' 

 Guide," the English method of treatment: 



■'If the colony is weak, destruction of 

 bees, combs, frames and quilts, together 

 with thorough disinfection of hives, is far 

 the best course to pursue. We thus destroy 

 the spores and remove the source of infec- 

 tion. If, on the contrary, the colony be 

 strong in bees the latter may be preserved 

 by making an artificial swarm of them. 

 They are then confined in a straw skep and 

 fed on syrup medicated with napthol beta. 

 The frames, combs, and quilts, mast be 

 burued, and the hives disinfected by being 

 either steamed or scrubbed with boiling 

 water and soap ; then painted over with a 

 solution of carbolic acid (one part of Cal- 

 vert's No. 5 to two parts of water) ; when 

 the smell has disappeared the solution is 

 ready for use. The bees are kept confined 

 to the skep for 48 hours, by which time all 

 honey they may have taken with them will 

 have been consumed, and such of tbe bees 

 as are diseased will have died off. Those 

 remaining are shaken from the skep into a 

 clean frame hive (urnisht with six frames
