pounds, but I think the general average 

 would fall below that figure for the past 

 25 years. 2. I do not think the pastur- 

 age Is sufficient in this locality for the 

 accommodation of 250 colonies in one 

 apiary, therefore the average yield 

 would necessarily be very low.

Raising Hive Cover for Ventilation. 



I read on page 509, a scheme for ven- 

 tilating hives, by Alder Bros., of Texas. 

 This seems to be good euough for a man 

 who has plenty of time to do all such 

 fixings on a fi-w hives, but a bee-keeper 

 who has hundreds of hives could not take 

 the trouble and time to do It. I have 

 the S and lO-frame dovetailed hives, 

 and I am living in a very warm country 

 (Southern portion of Louisiana). Last 

 year my bees hung out a good deal on 

 account of warm weather and heat in 

 the hive. This year everything is all 

 right — I never saw one colony (have 

 nearly 100 now) loafing or hanging 

 out, by employing my own invention, 

 which is very simple. It Is nothing else
