not born agents ; and I believe it is also a 

 good plan for them. So far it has been a 

 success, and is so simple I wonder others 

 have not thought of it. After I prove its 

 success or failure I will report through the 

 Bee Journal. 



I am trying this plan ih the city of Flint, 

 where honey can be found in the stores 

 at all seasons of the year. 



At present I have SO colonies in winter 

 quarters, in good shape. 



As J have Editor Hutchinson, his " neigh- 

 bor Koeppen " with his .370 colonies, and a 

 Mr. Torrey with about 100 colonies, on the 

 west side of me; Hon. R. L. Taylor, with 

 his large apiary, and Rufus Ivory with 76 

 colonies on the east, and Jones Skinner 

 with about 75. and a man named Doane, 

 with over 200 colonies, on the north, be- 

 sides numerous small apiaries around me, 

 you see there is plenty of competition.

Congratulations -Cleansing Flight. 



Editor York:— I offer my congratula- 

 tions for the success you have achieved as 

 a publisher of so valuable a journal of 

 knowledge and information for the bee- 

 keeping fraternity throughout the world, 

 I hope you will be handsomely remunerated 

 for your labors, and that you may, with 

 the help of its contributors, make the 

 American Bee Journal a mirror in which 

 its readers can see and understand the 

 mysteries of bee-keeping more clearly in 

 the future than they have in the past.

Credits the Bee Journal for Success. 



The American Bee Journal has workt 

 wonders with me in teaching about han- 

 dling my bees, which did well last season. 

 I took from one hive 110 pounds of honey, 

 half extracted and halt comb. I lookt at 

 them last Monday, and they are wintering 

 in fine shape, I owe all my success to the 

 American Bee Journal, as I knew nothing 

 about bees until I commenced to take it.

Wintering Well. 



My bees had a nice flight to-day, and 

 they are wintering well so far. I have 17 

 colonies. Theodore Simpson.

Got No Honey in 1898. 



We got but a few pounds of honey the 

 past season. We like the American Bee 

 Journal very much ; it has been a great 

 help to us, and tho we got no honey the 

 past two seasons we may profit by what we 

 have learned, in the coming season.

Giving Bees Winter Flights, Etc. 



Dec. 29 was a warm, springlike day. See- 

 ing that some bees were flying a little I 

 exposed all the fronts of the hives that I 

 could to the morning sun, and aroused the 

 rest by drumming on their chaff hives and 

 boxes. By noon they were flying freely, 

 and carrying out dead bees. Up to this 

 date my bees had no flight for about six 

 weeks. Now I feel much relieved as to 

 their wintering. 



Last winter my bees had no flight for 3).^ 

 months, and then I had to take them out of 

 their chaff hives and Iioxes. and set them 

 on snowdrifts in order to give them a 

 flight. I think bees should fly once a 

 month, and when my bees are compelled to 

 stay in three or four months, I feel quite 

 uneasy, (I mean when packt in chaff 

 hives, or any outdoor wintering,) 



Many colonies were scant in stores last 

 fall, and no doubt hundreds of colonies will
