Good Honey- Year Expected. 



I began the spring of lSfl8 with S.i colo- 

 nies in two apiaries, and took off 4.400 

 pounds of surplus, about J j' being extracted. 

 I packt 100 colonies for winter and lost 20; 

 about half of tliem became queenless. which 

 I united with others. Some of those I have 

 left are weak, but are now doing well. I 

 had two swarms yesterday. There was 

 considerable loss in this vicinity the past 

 winter and spring. The prospects are good 

 for a honey-year. B. W. Peck. 



Ashtabula Co., Ohio, May ;iT. 



Small Loss in Wintering. 



I wintered my bees outsfde. and lost three 

 colonies; the others are doing very well; 

 especially the colony of Italians in an ob- 

 servatory hive is doing exceedingly well. I 

 expect a fine swarm from them soon. I have 

 now 30 colonies. Edw. Rowland. 



Hudson Co., N. J., May 2.3. 



Half a Crop Expected. 



My 72 colonies of bees came thru the 

 winter with a loss of one. I extracted 224 

 gallons of honey last week. 1 don't expect 

 more than half a crop this year. Two-tbirds 

 of the bees in this county are dead ; cause, 

 starvation. Our people keep their bees 

 mostly in soap boxes and hollow-logs, and
