. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. 1895. THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 257 months), I think there is hope for me in bee-culture. My principal reason for start- ing is that I have a young orchard, and as my neighbors have no bees, I need them for my fruit. I shall start with one full colony, and possibly a nucleus. In my locality the pasture begins with cherry, plum, pear and apple, whitewood, blackberries, clover, sumac, asters and golden-rod. I see no reason why colonies could not be profitably maintained. All kinds of cereals are largely raised, especially buckwheat. B. F. Onderdosk. Mou

Bees are doing well here, gathering pol- len and honey and rearing brood. We have a good bee-country along the Cana- dian river, when we have rain. I have 8 colonies of Italians, and want to increase to 30 this year. Why doesn't some one say something about wired foundation in place of wiring brood-frames ? I will try about 15 pounds this year of wired foundation, in Hoffman frames, with Grubb's improve- ment—that is, a wedge-shaped piece cut out of the underside of the top-bar, then put in foundation, and nail in the wedge with small brads. I think that will beat wiring frames. Wm. Pltmell. Choctaw City, Olda. Ter., March 30. i^oiiTeiitioii IWoticeH.
