Small Fruits in Bloom, Etc. 



Everything favors a good flow of nectar 

 this season. Apples, peaches, pears and 

 cherries are in full bloom. This is a poor 

 place to keep bees, as the honey-flow ceases 

 on or about the first of June— five weeks 

 ends the season tor salable honey. One 

 year ago frost killed all of the flowers, and 

 I did not get one salable section of honey. 

 I have been feeding heavily. Bees are in 

 fine condition. Last fall, in looking them 

 over. I found three queenless colonies. I 

 sent for three queens, and they are as fine 

 as can be. I have '21 colonies. 



"New Jersey" wanted to know where 

 his bees collected that pollen so early in the 

 spring. It was from tag-alder and a little 

 from willow. J. H. Allen.

Report for 20 Years. 



My report tor 20 years of keeping bees 

 and producing honey is as follows: 



I winter my bees out-doors, packt in chaff 

 and sawdust. My bees are Italians, of the 

 yellow kind. I clip the queens, so none go 

 to the woods. I have taken the American 

 Bee Journal about 20 years, and from it I 

 have learned to make bee-keeping pay.

Some Experiences with Bees. 



Last summer I had a colony of bees that 

 workt in the sections for awhile and finally 

 slackt up. At this time it seemed that there 

 might be robbery connected with this 

 colony, as the ground in front of the hive 

 was black with dead bees. I saw the bees 

 were fighting as if robbers were about. 

 Then taking my coffeepot smoker, I gave 

 them a good smoke and left them. On re- 

 turning the next day I found the same con- 

 dition of things. I smoked them again, and 

 this not helping matters, I determined to 

 open the hive below. On lifting the super, 

 which was about halt full, and taking out 

 the broolframes. I found that they had the 

 hive nearly full of honey below. So I took 

 out over half the honey below, filling in 

 with empty frames, and putting on the 

 super again. Now the fighting stopt, and 

 the bees went to work in earnest. It was 

 not long till I raised the super and put on a 

 second. Things went on at a lively rate the 

 rest of the summer. I know nothing else 

 than that the bees were discouraged with 

 the condition of things. 



My bees having been in double-walled 

 chaff hives the past winter for nearly four 

 months without a flight, and the snow be- 

 ing deep in the apiary, I concluded to give
