men that were considered good bee-men. 

 and had made a success of beekeeping for 

 years, and last winter lost all of their bees, 

 while men that were not considered any 

 better had fairly good luck. One thing I 

 noticed was, that most of those that lost 

 most of their bees, what they bad left were 

 very weak, and stored but little honey, and 

 the swarms that they cast were mostly 

 small, which went to show that what were 

 left were very weak. 



As to the price of honey, I would say that 

 I am selling for 12' j cents per section, seven 

 to the toot, regardless of color. I have no 

 dark buckwheat honey, and I find more 

 people prefer the amber honey than the 

 white, therefore 1 sell all for the same price, 

 and I see no reason why amber honey is 

 not worth as much as white. I see no rea- 

 son to say that white is better than amber, 

 or that amber is better than white, as it is 

 a matter of taste. 8ome prefer a sweet 

 apple, while others prefer a sour one. I see 

 that white honey is quoted higher than 

 dark, yet I find just as many prefer the 

 dark. 



The Southern Minnesota Bee-Keepers" 

 Association will meet in Winona the first

 attend. There will be notice of the pro- 

 gram in due time.

Results of the Past Season. 



In the fall of 1S98 I had 2S colonies of 

 bees, all in fair condition, but not equally 

 well supjilied with honey. On Dec. 26 I put 

 them into the cellar, but they became rest- 

 less in about a month, so I took them out 

 and placed them on the summer stands Feb. 

 20, 1890. the first day warm enough for bees 

 to fly. However, it turned cold again, and 

 remained so for a long time, so that when 

 spring fairly opened, they had dwindled 

 down to 1.5 colonies, but they did well until 

 fruit-trees were done blooming. All the 

 clover was winter killed, and not much 

 basswood around here, so they were idle all 

 summer, and I did not get an ounce of 

 •>vhite honey; but about the middle of Au- 

 gust they waked up. and made up for the 

 lost time, the honey-flow lasting until about 

 the middle of September. 



I got 1,2.36 pounds of extracted, and about 

 30 pounds of comb honey, and increast them 

 to 25 colonies, mostly by dividing, and they 

 are now all in fine condition, and well sup- 

 plied with honey. Fked Bechlt.
