A Spring Report. 



My bees wintered pretty well. Out of 

 2-4 colonies I lost 4, leaving 20 in good 

 condition to build up for the white 

 clover, which is my main crop of honey. 

 I have a few colonies that have two 

 hive-bodies of 8-frames each, which are 

 nearly full of brood and running over 

 with bees. From these I expect a large 

 crop of honey. I have all my queens 

 dipt, as I can manage them better and 

 lieep them on my own lot in the city. 

 They do not bother any of the neighbors, 

 only to gather nectar from their fruit- 

 trees. My other apiary, which is located 

 about eight miles from here, is in good 

 condition for the coming harvest, and 

 you will hear from me later.

Onion a Bee-Sting Cure. 



I find that when I get stung by the bees 

 an excellent cure is to cut a common onion 

 in halves, take part of it and rub the skin. 

 It will not swell nor itch. If some one 

 laughs at this let him laugh, I don't care. 

 I am like Mrs. Brown and her wet dish- 

 cloth. 



We had very cold weather in April, many 

 things frozen. 



I like the Bee Journal and could not do 

 without having it paid in advance, for it 

 makes me happy, and I feel like giving 

 three cheers. It not paid in advance I could 

 not do it. I wonder if the editor will cheer 

 with us. E. B. Kaiffman. 



Lancaster Co., Pa., April IS. 



[Yes, lots of paid-in-advance subscribers 

 ought to make a clierrfii! editor. We'd be 

 willing to guarantee to be full of cheers if 

 all our subscribers resolve to be like Mr. 

 Kauffman in regard to their subscriptions 

 to the American Bee Journal. — Editor.]
