from it, or nearly so— yes, and what is 

 worse, for four years some of tbose colonies 

 most affected with paralysis seemed to run 

 into what appeared to be foul brood ; it 

 showed all the marks of the disease, except 

 that it was odorless— at least I could dis- 

 cover none. The first outside indication 

 that I could discover was a yellowish larva 

 at the entrance. The bees would run 

 against it, examine, and leave it. as it 

 afraid to touch it. It would thus lie there 

 for neirly half a day before the bees would 

 remove it. The colonies were generally 

 reduced in numbers, most of them queen- 

 less, and some with laying-workers in the 

 hives. 



I lost two colonies in 1893, one in 1893, 

 one or two in 1894, and one last summer. 

 It would appear during the warmest part 

 of the summer, about July. This put me 

 at a disadvantage to get rid of the disease, 

 for I work my bees chiefly for extracted 

 honey, and would therefore not discover 

 anything wrong until I had extracted the 

 early honey, and had exchanged combs 

 with other colonies. 



I applied the most radical cure I could 

 think of (the brimstone match), and then 

 buried bees, honey, combs, and all, and I 

 consider the above remedy the best cure 

 for paralysis, also. I have tried it, but did 

 not destroy the combs. Fred Bechlt.

Had a Very Good Crop. 



I had a very good honey crop this year. 

 My spring count was 71 colonies. I ex- 

 tracted from 94 colonies, and got 11}.>' tons 

 of honey, which I sold for 4 cents per 

 ponnd. Last year was a failure here in 

 Riverside county. Price Latton.

A Handy Smoker Hook. 



I hang the smoker on windward side ot 

 the hive, and thus have a little smoke just 

 where I want it while I am handling the 

 frames. To do this I use a piece of wire 

 (about No 16) long enough to go three or 

 four times around the barrel. I put this 

 twice around the barrel just behind the 

 front legs that hold the barrel from the 

 bellows, drawing it as tight as possible; I 

 give the ends two or three turns, and press 

 f.he thus twisted part down to the barrel

Death from a Bee- Sting, Etc. 



An uncommon thing occurred a few days 

 ago. One ot Geo. W. Holbrook's little 

 children was stung on the end ot the tongue, 

 from which death soon followed. The 

 tongue swelled until the child could get no 

 breath, and could not be stopped or les- 

 sened until too late. 



Bees have done no good on tall bloom. 

 Our best honey-flow was from linden. Suc-

A Good Report from Texas. 



I started in the spring with 40 colonies of 

 hybrid bees in fair condition, in single-story 

 Simplicity hives, but having favorable 

 weather I succeeded in building them up 

 for the main honey-flow, which commenced 

 the first ot April and continued until the 

 last of April. I increased to .55 colonies, 

 and I worked them in two-story Simplicity 

 hives— 40 colonies for extracted honey, and 

 15 for comb honey. I extracted 5.000 

 pounds of first-class honey, and took 900 

 pounds ot nice white comb honey. My bees 

 are in splendid condition now, with plenty 

 of stores, and are still storing more than a 

 living The hives are boiling over with 

 bees. W. F. KoNiCKT.

Bees Beady for Winter, 



I like the " Old Reliable " very much. I 

 started in the spring with 8 colonies. 2 of 

 them weak, increased to 14, and obtained 

 468 pounds of comb houey. My colonies 

 are all strong in bees, and the hives full ot 

 honey tor winter. J- 0. Boobbt.

Successful Management of Swarms. 



The freezing in the spring killed the 

 blackberry bushes and all flowers so that 

 my bees came nearly starving. The 

 swarms came so late that their wintering 

 would have been doubtful it hived sep- 

 arately. I put three and tour prime swarms 

 into each hive, and placed two and three 

 tiers ot sectiens on top at the time ot hiv- 

 ing, using a trap for the queens. Each 

 swarm filled its hive-body with honey, 

 and nearly each one filled the two tiers ot 

 sections. Unite and get honey; separata 

 and -get left." G.H.Boyd,
