My 85 colonies of bees were in winter quarters 155 days, or 5 months and 5 days without a single flight, the winter of 1903-04, and all came through the winter except one colony. I never lose any sleep over the bees wintered out-of-doors, and seldom have any loss, while many around here have lost 75 per- cent and some al: of their bees. After long experience I have about decided that if bees are properly put away for winter they can just curl up and wait till spring comes. At least some of my best colonies were hard to waken in the spring. Chas. Mitchell. Ontario, Canada, Jan. 17. Yields for 1903 and 1904. In 1903 I had 8 colonies in the spring, in- creased to 5, and got 700 pounds of comb honey, most of it in brood-frames with 1-inoh starters. In 1904 I had 4 colonies in the spring and got 300 pounds of honey, 250 pounds of it in sections. To-day I have the small number of 4 colonies and wish I had 25. I will buy more it I can get them at a price that is right. I am to work on a farm for monthly wages, and keep the bees where I worked last year, and as soon as wages and bees will permit I shall work a farm for myself. That's the best kind of freedom. I can not do without the American Bee .Journal as a matter of business and pleasure. Last year was the first season I was ever a subscriber to it, but for 5 years before that I was in a family that took it. So I have had more than one year of pleasant reading on the subject of bees.
