Gathering Pollen. 



My bees are doing very well here. They 

 have been g;athering pollen since Feb. 5, 

 and will soon work on tree blossoms.

Two Seasons' Report. 



I started with 5 colonies of bees two 

 years ago, increast to 13, and lost one. Last 

 year I increast to 3'2. and removed 700 

 pounds of nice comb honey in one-pound 

 sections. Success to the American Bee 

 Journal. John H. Amos. 



Not a Good Season. 



I have 22 colonies that seem to be all 

 riffbt. Last season was not a very good 

 one with us. I had 14 colonies in the 

 spring, sold 3 swarms, increast to 22, and 

 got 300 pound of comb honey. I sold it at 

 12i-< cents. Wm. M. Milton. 



Franklin Co., Kans., March 5. 



The Season of 1897. 



My bees did very well in 1S!)7. I started 

 with 17, increast to 31. doubled back to 25 

 colonies, and got about. 500 pounds of honey, 

 about half comb and half extracted. My 

 bees seem to be in good condition so far 

 this winter. Winchester Rickel. 



Kosciusko Co., Ind., Feb. 20. 



Seem to be Wintering All Right. 



I have taken the American Bee Jonrnal 

 for a good many years, and could not keep 

 bees without it. I am wintering 143 colo- 

 nies, and they seem to be wintering per- 

 fectly. I had about 13.000 pounds of ex- 

 tracted honey last year from 100 colonies, 

 spring count. F. B. Fahrinoton. 



Winnebago Co., Iowa , Feb. 21. 



Hopes for a Good Crop. 



Bees are all alive. The sun shines and 

 the spots don't show much now. I feel 

 fairly well, and hope for a good honey 

 crop, and a better market. It has been 

 weak the past two years. I have quite a 

 lot of honey on hand, and if I could find 

 ready sale I would be content to stick to 

 it, but I expect to stick without the con- 

 tent, any way, if not any improvement.

Several Seasons' Report. 



I commenced in lb',>5 with 2 colonies, and 

 got no honey or swarms that year, but in 

 1S96 I got about 15 pounds of surplus and 

 3 swarms. I lost one in wintering, in 181.17. 

 and had 4 left in the spring. I had 9 

 swarms, and about 300 pounds of honey, 

 and to-day all ray bees are having a good 

 flight— 12 colonies iu all. I lost one colony 

 last fall. It became queenless. I winter 

 my bees on the summer stands.

That Big Yield of Honey. 



I see I have been called up to explain a 

 mistake; also I received a private letter or 

 two ■calling me down.'' something in the 

 same manner as did Mr. H. F. Baker, 

 of Florida, for reporting such a large yield 

 of honey. 



In the first place. I did not intend any- 

 thing should be printed. All I .vi'./ was to 

 give the editor to understand that I was 

 getting a great deal of satista'-tion from 

 the American Bee Journal. I did not have
