bees literally besieged the works, worse 

 than the Spaniards at Santiago. I began 

 to reconnoiter the apiary, to devise some 

 plan whereby I could get some advantage 

 of the bees, it possible, but all to no pur- 

 pose—they outwitted me. 



So the next thing was to devise some plan 

 to keep them in the hives, it possible. I got 

 slats (the bottom pieces to Langstroth 

 frames), and took a small nail and tsckt it 

 on the mouth or entrance ot the hives, in 

 the morning, betore the bees were " up," 

 leaving, as I thought, space enough for 

 them to get air, and went to my work 

 again, thinking I had struck a bonanza. 

 But along about noon the bees were storm- 

 ing the castle again by making another 

 charge on the mill. I stood them as long as 

 I could, which was about 3 o'clock in the 

 evening. By this time I was getting " hot " 

 again, and said to myself, " 1 will keep you 

 in next time." 



When I went to the hives in the evening 

 I found the honey running out ot the hives 

 in torrents. I hastily took the strips off, 

 and found tive ot the best colonies just as 

 dead and as wilted as it I had held them 

 over the flre. Sutlice to say, I will never 

 try it again. 



No beekeeper should "monkey" with 

 cane-raising. I had one queen I had im- 

 ported from Italy which I examined hastily, 

 and found it all right, and was truly glad it 

 was no worse than it was. The bees crowded 

 in the space I had left, and shut off all the 

 air, and you would readily know the con- 

 sequence. I lost 5 out of .50 colonies.

Bees in Fine Condition, Etc. 



Bees wintered well in this locality as far 

 as I know. I put 04 colonies into the cellar 

 Nov. 33. and took them out about the first 

 ot March. I took tiO out alive, and they are 

 in fine condition at present. I tried out- 

 door wintering on a small scale, and lost 5
