My bees were carrying in water and pollen in the middle of October. Pa says that my bees are the gentlest bees we have among our whole 75 colonies. We had only OU colonies, spring count, and increast to 75. It is more than we have had for a good many years. In the honey season pa has them tiered 3 and 4 stories high, according to the
