We will devote aueli apace to the apiary |

require, and when Uw time come* to justify ; 
it, we will establish a Bee Journal, in the ’

The increase in swarm* and the production 
of honey has been man clous, to any the 
least of it, when we taka into consideration 
the great loss of bees this country sustained 
during the years IS?! awl 1S?S, Yet ap¬ 
iculture is moving steadily on, the floral 
treasures r-f Southern California seeming 
to |>e adequate to the grcBt demands made 
upon 
them 
The principal profit «>f the apiary is ob¬ 
tained from colonies that are strong in 
early spring. 
Those who hare to feed their bees will 
find that one pntind of scaled boner, that 
can he fed in the frame, i* eqivah nt tu 
three or four pounds of MtfNCted honey or 
syrUp, and takes less labor and causes less 
rubbing. All poor honey should be pre¬ 
served in the nnmt) for this purpose. 
Oar prospect for a honey crop in W81, 
in Los Angeles city and vicinity, is good.

Col amts containing dmnrs at tin* season 
of the year arc either quoenleos or contain 
a drono-laying queen. Such stocks should 
bv united with a weak colony, containing a 
fertile queen 
During January stop all upper ventila¬

Chamber, as the rearing of the young will 
be carried on extensively from this on, il 
the season is favorable.
