Pretty Good Year -with Bees. 



I have had a pretty good year with the 

 bees, my honey is all sold, and my bees will 

 be all ready (or the cellar in a few days ; so 

 I am going visiting for a while. The roads 

 are good, the weather fine, and I shall en- 

 joy a trip on my wheel among friends, rel- 

 atives and bee-keepers. S. T. Pettit.

Plain Sections and Fences a Success. 



I started in last spring with four colonies 

 (having sold out my bees before in another 

 place) and I have taken over 300 pounds of 

 honey from them, and increast to IT colo- 

 nies. I gave the plain sections and fences 

 a trial and they proved to be a perfect suc- 

 cess with me. C. H. Pettengell.

Feeder for Fall Feeding. 



The feeder I use for feeding in the fall is 

 made as follows: Make a box the width of 

 the hive, and 3 inches longer by 3 inches 

 deep. Coat the inside with paraffins so 

 that it will not absorb the syrup or leak. 

 Make a float of thin strips with 14-inch 

 spaces between the strips. Put it on level, 

 and fill with syrup slightly warm. Lay on 

 the float, remove the bottom-board, and 

 put the hive on it. Such a box will hold 30 

 pounds, and if fed warm the bees will take 

 it all up in one night. The float prevents 

 any bees getting daubed. I fed a colony 18 

 pounds last night, and it was all cleaned 

 out this morning, with only one dead bee 

 in the box. This may not be new, but I 

 never beard of one like it. 



The honey crop has been a total failure 

 for two years ; everything was destroyed 

 by caterpillars in 1897, and partly so in 

 1898; bad weather did the rest.

Average Crop of Dark Honey. 



There is not over half a crop of light 

 honey throughout this section. The yield 

 from buckwheat and fall flowers is some- 

 what better, and will probably reach nearly 

 an average crop of dark honey.

A Beginner's Experience. 



In July, 1S98. I decided to go into the 

 bee-business. I bought "colonies (butdidn't 

 move them), and as I knew nothing about 

 their management 1 put on my " studying 

 cap." I remembered receiving a price-list 

 of bee-keepers' supplies some years ago, so 

 1 began searching tor it, and found it, and 

 in that little pamphlet I saw the name of a 

 bee-paper; I sent for a sample copy, and 

 just kept on sending for sample copies until 

 1 had six different bee-papers. I read them 

 all, and re-read them. It was a task to de- 

 cide which one to subscribe (or, because I 

 realized I needed a bee-paper. Among 

 them all I finally decided, and subscribed 

 (or the American Bee Journal, which 1 

 think is a grand paper. 1 intend to sub- 

 scribe for another bee-paper as soon as I 

 feel able. 



Last Friday (Sept. 23) I moved my bees 

 home, a distance of three miles. All workt 

 well until we went to unload. One of the 

 hives was old and decayed at one corner, 

 and in setting it down 1 managed to make 

 an opening in the hive, and out came the 

 bees. They seemed to have a liking for 

 me, as they covered me from head to foot 

 and stung me by the thousands. I was in- 

 terested in keeping them out of my eyes, 

 but the fun continued (that is, if you could 

 call it "fun") until I got a blanket and
