■>on*t Put Oft Putting Kcvs in 



the cellar, says Editor Hutchinson. Leav- 

 ing the bees out till severe weather, is far 

 from desirable. For several years he has 

 cellared his bees about Nov. 20. This year 

 he put eight colonies in a clamp the 2n(l of 

 November, and promises to tell how they 

 come out next spring. If they all die, Mr. 

 Hutchinson, it will hardly prove that Nov. 

 3 is too early, for some very warm weather 

 has been since that date this year, and a 

 long spell of warm weather may be harder 

 on them than freezing weather. 



iJiieen-Xraps are strongly commend- 

 ed in Bee-Keepers' Review by W. E. 

 Flower, the man who gave the magic-lan- 

 tern lecture at the Philadelphia convention. 

 Especially does he think them desirable for 

 that large class of bee-keepers, lawyers, 

 ministers, doctors, merchants and mechan- 

 ics whose occupations will not permit them 

 to be at home when the bees swarm. With 

 the trap the bee-keeper easily finds the 

 queen of the colony that has swarmed, and 

 he knows tvluiirf .she cunte. By the use of 

 traps he has not lost a swarm or a queen 

 in ten years. 



Xo Start Iteess in Section!!! in des- 

 perate cases, some might like to try the 

 plan given by A. J. Wright, in Gleanings 

 in Bee-Culture; 



■' When you are ready for section work, 

 cage the queen, giving enough ■ Good ' 

 candy to last two or three days. Put on 

 your super of sections with bait, if conven- 

 ient. On top of this super place an empty 

 one, in which put the caged queen. The 

 bees will begin work in the sections at uiu-e, 

 and will keep at it as long as there is nectar 

 coming in. The empty super and cage 

 should, of course, be removed as soon as the 

 queen is liberated." 



liOcalitieiii l>iUer as to Pollen.— 



R. C. Aikin says in the Progressive Bee- 

 Keeper: 



■ Alfalfa yields almost no pollen what- 

 ever, and during the honey-flows here there 

 is very little pollen gathered or to be had. 

 To have combs overloaded with pollen is a 

 thing I have never known in my present 

 field. 1 sometimes think I would have 

 much more rapid breeding in the spring if
