•Please meutiou Bee Journal \vhen "WTiting, 



style, which were a sort of box like the 

 Harbison hive, but not exactly so. 



Mr. Chuecas is still alive in Santa Fe, 

 near this town, tho he does not practice 

 bee-keeiiing now, as he is engaged in other 

 agricultural business. He says he gave up 

 bee-keeping on account of the low price of 

 honey and wax in those times, say S3. 50 or 

 44 pence, tor honey, and ?'20 for wax, per 

 quintal of 46 kilos— equal to 100 pounds. 



In ISSS, another bee-keeper. Mr. Alfreds 

 Duffey, started bee-keeping with a colony 

 of bees in a Dadant-Quinby hive, and his 

 apiary numbered last season TO colonies, all 

 in Dadant-Quinby hives. 



By this you will notice that Mr. D.-L. has 

 been misinformed, and that frame hives 

 were known in Chili much earlier than he 

 thinks. 



Regarding honey-yielding, I do not agree 

 with Mr. D.-L., and from my own experi- 

 ence I can say that my crops for the past 3 

 years have been an average yield of 134 

 pounds per colony, and I have had colonies 

 which have given the maximum of 1S2 

 pounds. 



I use the De Layens hive with 20 frames 

 I6I4 inches deep by 13 inches wide, and tho 

 Editor D.-L. considers deep frames incon- 

 venient tor the climate of Chili, I have been 

 able to winter nay bees successfully during 

 three years, and not a single colony has 

 been lost during winter nor starved in 

 early spring. 



The cinnamon tree is placed by Editor 

 D.-L. amongst the representatives of the 

 Chilian flora, but this tree is unknown to 

 us. What we have and Mr. D.-L. refers to, 

 has nothing like the cinnamon tree, his 

 mistake coming from the likeness in name 

 in the Spanish language, i.e., Canelo (Dry- 

 mis chilensis) and Canela (cinnamon-tree 

 bark). — R. A. Sanhueza, in American Bee- 

 Keeper. 



Cpop Shorter than fop Years. 



The honey crop in this part of the country 

 is shorter than for many years, but my 30 

 colonies are filling up nicely for winter 

 from aster. C. H. Mat.

Results of the Season of 1899. 



The following is my report for 1S99: I 

 started in the spring with 43 colonies. 30 of 

 them in good condition and the balance 

 from fair to very weak ; five were queen- 

 less. They began to swarm June 10 and 

 kept it up until July 9, and then they stopt 

 swarming until some time in August, 

 having increast to 77 colonies. 



I had 30 colonies from Blue Mounds, Wis.,
