Questions from Japan 1. In some parts of Hokkaidow enormous lily Hewers are found, and I can not speak too highly of their beauty and perfume— Howers are used to make perfumed water. I wish to know if bees work on them. 2. How many colonies do you have in your home apiary ? How many acres about your apiary do all the colonies work ? Japan. Answers.—I. I don't know: but you can tell by watching. I think they are likely to yield nectar. 2. The season closed with toi colonies. I have only the one apiary now. It is hard to say how much t-round they work on; per- haps all within i]? miles. Within that range will be found fields of one to 20 acres of clover, and also much ground yielding little or nothing. Bee Houses—Good Location 1. I propose to build a bee house in the apring of 1914. for protection against too hot summers and the cold months of winter. Our summers are not long, but sometimes very hot; the winters short and not very cold, occasionally in winter the therm o me ter will fall as low as 15 degrees above zero. Kindly give your advice on this ques- tion, also the advantage or disadvantage. 2. Name the different kinds of vegetables that bees gather nectar from to convert into honey. There are thousands of acres of vegetables and cotton planted in this sec- tion that is within a radius of 5 miles of the city. 1. From the brief description here given,
