I dou't see how I could do without the Bee Journal, or some other bee-paper that would come up to its standard. Last year I produced 1,500 pounds of comb honey, while in former years I never got over 400 pounds. Of course the extra flow last year accounts for much of my better success, but I also attribute very much of it to the ••Old ; Myself and sou have now 55 colonies in winter quarters, all apparently doing well except one colony that I think is queenless. Our success last year would have been much greater had the dry weather not cut the basswood flow short. A. H. Snowbekgek. Huntington, Ind., Jan. 5, 1894. Had Plenty of Good Flights. I had 5 colonies, spring count, and in- creased to 11. They did very well the fore- part of the season, but it was too dry to grow buckweat, or any other honey-plant. The bees went into winter quarters in good condition, and are all right up to date. They have had plenty of good flights so far. but the worst is to come yet. In the spring, if the weather stays warm, they consume more than when it is cold. Beew were rather scarce last spring. VV. F. RiNi'K. West Alexandria, O., Jan. 1, 1894. A Good Report—See Manag-ement. My 18 colonies of bees came through the winter in good condition last spring. They gave me a surplus of pounds of white and sweet clover honey. 1,400 pounds of ex- tracted, and fiOO pounds of comb honey. The former sold here at § a gallon, aiid the latter at 13 cent
