Extracting Honey— Lively Twins. 



I just finished putting on the second sur- 

 plus cases to-day. I have taken about S or 

 10 gallons of fine willow and locust honey, 

 and think I have perhaps a barrel, which I 

 mean to extract as soon as I find time. I 

 have 30 colonies, all in fine condition. 



Since I last wrote, our home has been 

 blessed with twins— a boy and girl : they 

 are now 15 months old. and I tell you they 

 are a lively pair. We are bringing them 

 up on milk and honey, and their plump, 

 rosy cheeks show what a blessed thing it is.

Good Prospect for Honey. 



The bees are doing pretty well now. I 

 have 60 colonies left out of 80. It is pretty 

 cold weather today— 45 degrees. The pros- 

 pect is good for honey. The white clover 

 promises to be good. We cannot say any- 

 thing about the basswood yet. The spring 

 is ahead this year in comparison with last 

 year. The fruit-bloom is over, but it did 

 not yield much on account of the rainy 

 weather. Jxo. Roller. 



Richwood, Wis., May 11. 



He Thinks they Froze. 



In reply to Mr. E. T. Abbott's questions 

 on page 283. on the subject of bees freezing 

 to death. I will say that the colony was an 

 extra strong one. and as healthy as I ever 

 saw. for I had noticed them just a few days 

 before, as they came out for a flight. The 

 bees were all over the combs, which were 

 half full on the top edge next to the top- 

 bar. When 1 found them all dead I looked 

 no more, for I said to myself. ■•Frozen to 

 death, for certainly they would have shown 

 some sign of disease ere now." Also, if 

 they had starved, certainly it was not for 

 the lack of honey, and all this honey right 

 under them. 



1 don't say I know they froze, but I think 

 they did. J. A. Bearden. 



Cyruston, Tenn.. May 10. 



Brighter Apicutural Prospects, 



The prospect now is for a brighter future 

 in apiculture, if only timely showers come 

 to hand. Bees at this time are on a sound 

 (financial) basis, and every bright day are 

 getting in their work. The apple-bloom 

 made the orchards look like a veritable 

 fairy land, and the bees paid profound re- 

 spect to every blossom. The locust is now 

 bending in mature bloom, and while it will 

 last but two or three days, the busy work- 

 ers make it a glorious holiday from early 

 morn until sun setting. The relationship 

 between apiculture and horticulture is be- 

 ing more and more strengthened. 

 Frankfort, Ohio, May 11. D. A. Cort. 



Bee-Keeping in Mexico. 



I have 14 colonies of Italian-hybrid bees. 

 Two years ago I increased them from one 

 colony to 14, and have had in this time '2.50 

 pounds of honey besides. I sell the white 

 comb honey at '25 cents, and the melted at 

 15 and 18 cents. I will increase my colonies 

 to 25 this year, it I can. But then it will be 

 hard to find a market for all the honey, be- 

 cause the Mexicans use honey only in sick- 

 ness—only foreign families and a few Mexi- 

 cans will buy comb honey. But this is. I 

 think, because the Indians (the only bee- 

 keepers until now) bringsucb bad and dirty 

 honey to market, that only the druggists 

 buy it, very cheap, and afterward clean it. 

 Honey on the table-land is very cheap. 

 From Tampico they ship it by the ton to 

 New Orleans, mostly. 



Bees work here all the year around, as 

 well as swarm. I caught a swarm Nov. 2,
