Keeping Bees in Idaho. 



I started a year ago June 10, then buying 

 one swarm of bees — natural one — which I 

 put into a new hive. That season I took 18.5 

 pounds of honey from it, and made two 

 more colonies by dividing. I thought that 

 pretty good, so I bought three more colo- 

 nies in the fall, and took them through the 

 winter all right. They were doing well in 

 the spring, so I divided them, and out of 

 the live colonies I increast to Vi. After 

 they were all filled up with comb and honey, 

 I extracted, and up to Aug. V2 I took 97,5 

 pounds of honey. They have all done well 

 since except two. which were rather weak 

 from some cause or other, and in the latter 

 part of September the yellow jackets workt 

 on them so extensively that I don't think 

 those two will live through the winter. 



This section is excellent for bee-keeping, 

 if attended to properly, but the only objec- 

 tion I have is, the season is so short. I have 

 given this part of the country a genuine 

 trial on bee-culture, and have concluded to 

 go into it pretty extensively.

From One Nucleus. 



Starting with one nucleus (the freshet 

 having taken away a small apiary a year or 

 two previous), I had increast them the 

 second year to three colonies, and obtained 

 170 pounds of section honey ; the next year, 

 to nine colonies and '27.5 pounds of section 

 honey : the next year 12 colonies and 500 

 pounds of section honey ; this year 13 colo- 

 nies and 200 pounds of section honey. With 

 the exception of one queen and a little 

 foundation there has been no outside help 

 given them. 



This apiary is situated in the city sur- 

 rounded mostly by commons, with Presque 

 Isle Bay on the North. Nearly the whole 

 crop of honey has been from sweet clover. 



Commencing at the time the American 

 Bee Journal was made into a weekly (18S1), 

 I have been a subscriber the greater portion 

 of the time since. Irwin Thompson.

Bees Did Fairly 'Well. 



My bees did fairly well the past season, 

 and have from 30 to 40 pounds each, to the 

 colony, to go into the cellar with. 



The American Bee Journal is well worth 

 the price of subscription, and has been a 

 great help to me. Alisert G. Palmer.

Bees Did Reasonably Well. 



Bees in Southeastern Nebraska did rea- 

 sonably well the past season — much better 

 than we anticipated after the season com- 

 menced. While we have not secured a large 

 yield of honey, it is of fine quality, and the 

 bees go into winter quarters in much better 

 condition than for many years We will 

 have no honey to ship, but plenty for our 

 home markets. J. L. Gandt.

Three Seasons' Reports. 



I purchast about 12 colonies of bees 

 (mostly hybrids, but a few being the native 

 blacks), in the spring of ISilO. I moved them 

 nine miles to my home at night. They 

 swarmed that season, and in the fall, after 

 losing about two colonies by death of the 

 queens, 1 had 35 colonies lett, 24 being quite 

 strong, and one only four combs of bees, 

 which lived until April and then died. This 

 is the only one 1 lost, and I took oil' 435 

 pounds of comb and extracted honey. 

 _ In 1897, from '24 colonies I had an increase
