Bees at Work. 



Bees were working lively yesterday and 

 to-day on the box-elders. Peaches, pears 

 and plums are just opening their bloom.

Cold Weather in Kentucky. 



We have been having some very cold 

 weather the past two weeks. The mercury 

 has been as low as 32- — something unusual 

 for old Kentucky. It has been hard on the 

 bees. But it has the appearance of better 

 weather now. W. S. Peeback.

Midwinter— Not Midnight. 



Please correct a typographical error that 

 crept into my previous article on page 104, 

 second column, the seventh line from the 

 bottom, where your typo makes me say: 

 " I once had a half-barrel of cappings which 

 had been neglected till midnight. Did I 

 write " midnight " or " midwinter"? I am 

 perfectly willing that you should give your 

 readers the impression that I am fond of 

 working, whether it is true or not, but don't 

 let them think that I work till " midnight " 

 without absolute, urgent necessity. 



Hancock Co., 111. C. P. Dadant. 



[Yes, you are right, as usual. It must be 

 our compositor had been out until midnight 

 the night before putting your article in 

 type. We have been quite ready to give 

 you all credit for being industrious, but 

 would hardly go so far as to think you 

 would work until midnight in rendering 

 wax. — Editor.] 



A Soldier Bee-Keeper's Story. 



It is not necessary for me to say that I 

 appreciate the American Bee Journal — my 

 subscription money tells that. I am an old 

 soldier, and have handled bees more or less 

 all my lite, but I had never gotten right 

 down to business until within the last three 

 j'ears. I started with one colony, bought 

 eight more, and now have 70, all in good 

 condition. 



While X was a soldier in camp near Nash- 

 ville, Tenn., I was nearly dead with camp 

 diarrhea. December 25, 1862, we were or- 

 dered to move on the enemy at Stoney 

 River. My captain carried my knapsack, 

 and I trudged along and made out to keep 

 in sight of the regiment. That evening, 

 about dark, we went in camp near a resi- 

 dence of a rich old iplanter on a nice clover 

 pasture. After stacking arms, I took a 

 camp kettle and started down through a 

 cotten patch for water. I had not gone far 

 when I discovered some soldiers a little way 

 from me. It was so dark I could not tell 

 what they were doing, so I paused a mo- 

 ment to see if I could learn what they were 

 at. Soon I heard a voice, •■ Do they sting ?" 

 This aroused my love for honey, and I went 

 to them and found they had three old- 

 fashioned round log hives, the heads knockt 

 off, and the bees holding the party at bay. 

 I askt the privilege to join them, and they I
