Bees Wintered Well. 



1 put eight colonies of bees into winter 

 quarters, and they all came out this spring 

 good, and are working lively. I have 

 bought seven more colonies, and they were 

 a bargain — were in good condition so far as 

 stores goes. 



We have had a very hard winter and a 

 late spring, but the Ijuds and flowers are 

 coming along fast now. as there have been 

 some warm, bright days and warm rains, 

 and the bees are employing the golden mo- 

 ments. 



I saw Mr. Golden's description in the Bee 

 Journal, of his combination feeder, and not 

 being satisfied with the two different ones 

 which I have tried, I sent for a sample of 

 the feeder, and was much pleased with it. 

 I have not tried them yet, but I shall do so 

 as quick as I get some made, I have no 

 doubt it will be just the thing. The com- 

 bined feeder and ventilator is sure to "fill 

 the bill." I thank you, Mr. Editor, for the 

 good your paper has already done me in 

 giving good advice and hints.

Beady for What May Come. 



Bees have done poorly for three years 

 with us, still I have 120 colonies, with their 

 dishes right side up to catch what may 

 come. I wish the " old reliable" American 

 Bee Journal success. Abel Gresh. 



Weedville, Pa., April 19. 



Good Prospects for Fine Season. 



[ am highly pleased with the American 

 Bee Journal, and I think every bee-keeper 

 should read it. I have gained a great 

 amount of valuable information from it. 

 My bees have come through the winter with 

 very slight loss, and prospects are good for 

 a fine honey season. John D. May. 



Hughesville, Mo,, April 19. 



Good Results from Nuclei. 



1 see on page 2T0, that Bee-Master is get- 

 ting wild. He says he is importing bees 

 from Florida to test whether or not bees 

 from the _South sent North in the spring 

 will pay. Now, I thought Bee-Master was 

 nearer up with the bee-keeping times than 

 this, as we have done this for more than 

 ten years, and it is a success beyond a 

 doubt in the hands of the right parties. As 

 he seems to doubt Mr. Smith's statements 

 in my advertisement in Oleanings, 1 submit 

 Mr. Smith's letter in full, and it is unso- 

 licited. Mr. Smith had tried the same 

 thing a year or two before, when he found 

 it paid him, and then he tried on a larger 

 scale, which brought the large report he 

 gives. As Mr. Smith is big enough to speak 

 for himself, 1 will not say more, but will 

 just allow the readers to draw their own 

 conclusions. 



But, 1 would like to impress upon the 

 mind of Bee-Master that our nuclei have 

 more than two or three dozen workers and 

 a queen. Jennie Atchley. 



[The above and the letter which follows 

 are given because Mrs. Atchley thinks an 

 injustice has been done her by Bee-Master, 

 in writing what he did about her advertise- 

 ment, and because of its being published in 

 these columns. Surely, no injury was in- 

 tended or thought of, but in order to set 

 matters all right, Mrs. A.'s and Mr. Smith's 

 letters are now published, the latter read- 

 ing as follows: — Editor.] 



Dear Madam : — I thought I would report 

 to you what my bees have done this season. 

 Of the 50 one-frame nuclei that I bought of 

 you last spring, I sold 26, leaving me 24.
