257 



months), I think there is hope for me in 

 bee-culture. My principal reason for start- 

 ing is that I have a young orchard, and as 

 my neighbors have no bees, I need them for 

 my fruit. I shall start with one full colony, 

 and possibly a nucleus. In my locality the 

 pasture begins with cherry, plum, pear and 

 apple, whitewood, blackberries, clover, 

 sumac, asters and golden-rod. I see no 

 reason why colonies could not be profitably 

 maintained. All kinds of cereals are largely 

 raised, especially buckwheat.

Bees Doing Well — Wired Foundation. 



Bees are doing well here, gathering pol- 

 len and honey and rearing brood. We 

 have a good bee-country along the Cana- 

 dian river, when we have rain. I have 8 

 colonies of Italians, and want to increase 

 to 30 this year. Why doesn't some one say 

 something about wired foundation in place 

 of wiring brood-frames ? I will try about 

 15 pounds this year of wired foundation, in 

 Hoffman frames, with Grubb's improve- 

 ment — that is, a wedge-shaped piece cut 

 out of the underside of the top-bar, then 

 put in foundation, and nail in the wedge 

 with small brads. I think that will beat 

 wiring frames. Wm. Pltmell.
