Bee-Keeping in Oregon. 



This is my first year with bees. I started 

 with a few colonies, and I shall endeavor to 

 increase them as much as the future will 

 permit. I have only been stung once this 

 season. I believe I am poison to them, as 

 their sting never swells on me. Years since 

 1 used to hunt wild bees in the caves in 

 California, principally for the ten dollars a 

 colony 1 got for them, and on the large 

 cave or seam rock near Los Angeles, I've 

 used many pounds of powder, and from it 

 Igot countless pounds of honey, where I 

 had to swing over the cliff by a rope, then 

 let down 100 feet to reach them. 



I know many would frown to visit some 

 bee-keepers here. Some have as high as 

 150 colonies, many 20 to 50, and they nearly 

 all use sulphur in the fall, and kill the old 

 colonies to rob them, because they only use 

 a one-chamber hive, with no frames, and 

 many of them put honey, comb and all, in- 

 to a barrel, and chop it up. Imagine the 

 mess! Of course, it is not salable, and 

 what is not consumed by the family, is 

 usually fed to the hogs. They laugh at me 

 when I try to tell them of other ways. 

 Being somewhat isolated, they have to ship 

 by vessels, and that at rare intervals, and 

 the people being poor, 1 suppose has some- 

 thing to do with their ways of ignorance. 

 Probably there are SOO colonies of bees in a 

 range of five by 20 miles, and not a thous- 

 and pounds of honey shipped. From May 

 1 to the last of September the bees never 

 cease to work, and are supplied with some 

 kind of bloom by nature. There is little 

 honey-dew here, and a failure of crop has 

 not been known. T. E. Russell.

Bee-Keeping in Florida. 



Florida bee-keepers are " not in it " this 

 year, nor likely to be for several years to 

 come. The freeze last winter annihilated 

 all orange and mangrove blossoms, I do 

 not know of a Florida bee-keeper who is 

 getting much surplus honey. 1 have 80 col- 

 onies, and there was just enough honey in 

 March, April and May to set them to breed- 

 ing and swarming, with but very little to 

 extract. I never before saw so many 

 swarms with so little honey. We have 

 always depended upon keeping down the 

 swarming-fever by extracting, but this 

 year they would swarm long before we 

 thought there was honey enough to extract. 

 I have kept bees IS years, and there were 

 more swarms out this year than all we ever 

 had before in the IS years. After the 60 

 hives were filled I did not care to increase 

 the number of colonies, so I cut out queen- 

 cells, or made some nuclei for rearing 

 queens so as to get rid of all old queens 

 that were not pure Italians, and built up all 

 the weak colonies. But they constantly 

 built new queen-cells, and made things 

 lively. 1 keep all queens' wings clipped, 

 and only allowed three or four swarms to 

 get away. When they had reared young 

 queens that were overlooked, I remember 

 one day two large swarms came out and
