Bee culture; Bees. 114 AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL Feb.;22, 1900. into partnership with him in the bee-business, and they workt them together under the name of Coggshall Bros., up to '° '"ll'^Sfhk* bro^thera'nd'^irsdf shTp\^^^^^ first full carload of honey to New York City, since when the product has irirrea^t until the oast season's shipments aggregated about five carloads. .,,„„,. , i. Mr. Coggshall now manages his home Ipiary and six outlying yards, numbering about 600 colonies, run almost en- tirely for extracted honey. In the illustration is shown the style of bee- dress worn by Mr. C, which has a wire-screen in front of the face, fastened in the veil, which is attacht to a loose blouse gathered at the waist by a rubber cord, making it absolutely bee- proof. There is also shown an 18-gallon honey-keg, 60 of which were filled in this yard in 1896 with well- ripened honey. Lying on the keg is a Crane smoker, the kind preferred. Near by is the wheelbarrow and queen-excluders. Near the center is the uncapping- can, while in front are some empty estracting- combs in frames, of which he has some that have been in constant use from the first. The trees shown in the yard are Kieffer pears, which are well loaded, and onl3' 10 years old. The yard contains about 110 colonies, and is shown in September, after the extracting-stories were removed and stones put on the hives to hold the covers down. A part of the chaff hives in which the bees are wintered are also shown, and when put up in this way the bees in this yard have always wintered suc- cessfully. After all these years of study, experiment, failure, and success, the subject of this sketch feels well re- paid in the knowledge gained and the pleasure and satisfaction of achiev- ing a well-earned success. Mr. Coggshall has been a subscriber and constant reader of the American Bee Journal since it was pub- lisht bv Samuel Wagner at • Washington, , and now has complete files of the same. m
