and the rest extracted. Everybody likes 

 this honey in this part of the country. 



This honey was produced liy the small 

 white aphidifi or plant-lice, of which there 

 were multiplied millions to be seen on 

 chestnut and oak timber through May and 

 June. July was wet. and that put an end 

 to the little " honey distiller " for the sum- 

 mer, and that ended the honey-flow until 

 September, when the bees gathered some 

 nectar from the asters. A. J. McBride.

Weather Severe on Bees. 



It is quite severe on bees just now, 32 de- 

 grees below zero and growing colder. My 

 bees are in a cellar under the house, where 

 there is no Are. The thermometer indicates 

 40 degrees ; it has been 43 and 44 degrees 

 all along until now. G. H. Fret.

" Good " Winter Weather. 



We are having good winter weather here 

 — now 32 degrees below zero. I am winter- 

 one colony out-of-doors ; they will think it 

 a little chilly. I also have 57 colonies in a 

 repository, which are doing nicely at 37 

 degrees above zero. C. E. Taylor.

Coldest and Snowiest. 



Coldest and most snow here ' within the 

 memory of the oldest inhabitant. " Would 

 have to dig to find some of my hives. But 

 as I am still shaky from the effects of the 

 grippe, I can't get at them until the cold 

 lets up. Thos. Thcrlow.

Pretty Cold Weather. 



The very cold weather has kept me in the 

 house, where it is warm, but as I have no 

 rest in doing nothing, I have taken all my 

 Bee Journals into the house (which are all 

 bound in yearly bands — my own way) since 

 ISSO, wherein I find much, to me now, right 

 aud wrong. Some of the ideas and the- 

 ories almost coax a smile out of a failing 

 human. 



For the past ten days it has been from 20 

 to 40 degrees below, 30 degrees this a.m., 41 

 above in the bee-house, with a little gas in 

 it. There is eight inches of snow on a 

 level, making fine sleighing since Nov, 22,

Cold Weather— Foul Brood Bill. 



I think there will be a demand in this 

 section for •■Schmidt's Hardy Bees," if the 

 present cold weather continues very long. 



It was 14 degrees below zero yesterday, 

 with a strong wind from the northwest, 

 and it was down to 23 degrees below this 

 morning, 



I am writing to our representative today 

 in regard to the Foul Brood Bill which we 

 are interested in at present.

Best Bee-Winter in Five Years. 



As far as I know, this has been the best 

 bee-winter for the five years I have had 

 bees. Steady, moderately cold weather, 

 and for the last 2^., weeks we have had 

 zero weather constantly. Bees did only 

 moderately well last year. Too many sun- 

 flowers, from which they gathered very 

 strong and rank amber comb honey, which 

 improves with age and keeps fluid in the 

 combs. D. J. Frasbr.

Thinks It Very Cold Weather. 



The weather has been very cold so far in 

 February, the thermometer ranging from 

 zero to 10 degrees below, with a piercing 

 northwest wind which drives the cold
