Working on the Fruit-Bloom. 



hees have been busy the past week on 

 fruit-bloom, which remains out much 

 longer here than at the North. The weather 

 has been fine— warm and moist — and the 

 bees have worked the pear, plum and peach 

 bloom for all it is worth, thoroughly ferti- 

 lizing it, thus insuring its setting well. Ti- 

 ti and dewberries are blooming. There are 

 no cherries, currants or gooseberries in this 

 part of Florida. I've not seen an orange 

 or lemon leaf since the freeze.

■Wintered Very Poorly. 



My bees have wintered very poorly. They 

 are very weak in bees. I never before lost 

 so many bees. They came out of the hives 

 and died in the cellar. R. Miller. 



Compton, 111., March 30. 



One of the Finest 'Winters. 



Our bees have been carrying pollen the 

 last four weeks. Our fruit (peaches and 

 cherries) are in bloom. We have had one 

 of the finest winters for a good many years, 

 and the bees wintered well.

Starvation and Cold Did It. 



We had no honey last year, and 75 per 

 cent, of the bees are dead this spring. 

 Starvation and extreme cold weather (28 

 degrees below zero) did the work for those 

 that were fed plenty. I have only six colo- 

 nies left, and half of them queenless. It is 

 still dry, but winter is about gone, and we 

 hope for better things ere long.

Hard "Winter on Bees. 



The past one was a hard winter on bees 

 on the summer stands, about one-third of 

 them being weak in bees, but with plenty 

 of honey and plenty of diarrhea. My bees 

 had it badly, but are better now. I have 

 lost 15 per cent, of mine with that disease, 

 but have enough left yet. Bees had not 

 many flights, yet we had nice sunshine, but 

 too windy for the bees to fly. They have 

 gathered pollen two days now.

Bees 'Wintered All Bight. 



My bees have come through the winter 

 all right, and bees in general have wintered 

 well, as far as I can learn. My bees did 

 finely last season, there being a steady flow 

 from spring to fall, with the exception of 

 three or four weeks, the principal flowers 

 being willow, apple bloom, Alsike clover 

 (which 1 think a good deal of), and a weed 

 that grows on burnt ground that has 

 creamy-white flowers, and basswood; with 

 the fall flowers of asters and golden-rod, 

 and lots of other flowers of less importance.

Bees Beady for Business, Etc. 



Bees are doing well, and are in good con- 

 dition for business when the time comes. 

 Much has been said and written about dif- 

 ferent kinds of hives. I have the dovetail 

 hive with the improved Hoffman frame, 

 and the Langstroth hive and S-frame. My 

 choice is the Langstroth pattern 14 inches 

 wide, inside measure, which gives room for 

 nine frames and a division-board. A case 

 for this hive holds 2S 414x414 sections laid 

 crosswise instead of lengthwise. No bee-

A STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE 



Should be adopted for "fence viewers," 

 judges at fairs, etc. At present, "just asgooa 

 as the Page" is the universal claim. As a 

 suggestion we otTer the following scale 01 

 Boiuts for farm use: 



Strength - - - .20 



Height . - - - .20 



Closeness of mesh - .tO 



Attractive Appearance .10 



Elasticity and Durabil ity .30 



100 



If the last two are separated, Elasticity 



should have 25, as Durability is almost 



wholly dependent on it.
