eggs froti) some of the other hives and 

 exchange thern with the outer frames of 

 the queenless colony, if there are bees 

 enough in the hive to give suiiBcient heat 

 to hatch them where they are, they may, 

 or may not, move them. But should 

 they not have that sufficient heat, they 

 will move them to where they want 

 them, and the lllveliest place will be, or 

 is, in the center of the hive where they 

 can give them the required heat to hatch 

 them in due time. P. Hbntrick.

Bees Dying from Spraying. 



My bees are dying by the hundreds. 

 This is uncommon for this time of the 

 year. My neighbors are spraying their 

 fruit-trees, and poison my bees. I told 

 them to wait till after the blossoms had 

 fallen, but they won't I went to town 

 yesterday to see a lawyer about it, and 

 he said there could be nothing done 

 about it. He said they had a right to 

 spray their fruit-trees. There should 

 be a law to protect bee-keepers in their 

 rights. My neighbors' bees are all dying, 

 too. I am the only bee-keeper in the 

 neighborhood who takes a bee-paper, 



I have 9 colonies at present, swarm- 

 ing out on the ground and kicking their 

 heels up. Some are dying and some are 

 dead. I hope by the next time I write 

 my bees will be all right. It is discour- 

 aging at present. W. M. Daniels.

Mating — Laying Worker — Ventilation 



It is generally believed by bee-men 

 that queen-bees mate up in the air and 

 come down to the ground while mating. 

 It is not always the case. Two years 

 ago this May my nephew, E. D. Shryock, 

 saw a black queen and black drone mate 

 on a bunch of black locust bloom ; after 

 mating both flew away. 



The way I manage laying workers is 

 this: Put a colony with a queen with 

 them, and let them fight it out. 



There is much talk about ventilation. 

 A bee-keeper in this neighborhood used 

 to have some 20 colonies of bees in box- 

 hives, flat on benches. During the win- 

 ter he plastered all around the bottoms 

 of the hives with mortar so the bees 

 could not come out. Why did they not 

 smother ? J. L. Crutchek.

Fine Spring and Good Prospects. 



We are having a very fine spring. 

 Prospects are good for a good honey sea- 

 son. Bees are in fine condition. The 

 past was a mild winter — bees were out 

 almost every week. 



I sent a carload of honey to Belgium, 

 and would send more but I cannot get 

 the quality. We could have sold five 

 cars more if we could have gotten the 

 honey, and now as the war is on wo will 

 have to wait awhile before we can ship 

 again. 



My bees in the Puyallup Valley are in 

 fine condition. I have two apiaries, one 

 in Puyallup and one in Sumner. I shall 

 have to put supers on the hives in the 

 valley soon, if they keep on as they are 

 going now. Drones are flying, and they 

 are getting ready for the clover flow, 

 which may start about May 25 this 

 year, if the weather continues as it has 

 been ; but it may turn off and rain
