Bees bad a spleadid flight last Thursday (Jan. 13), so they are now in fine condition to go through the winter. Geo. Spitler. Crawford Co., Pa., Jan. 18. Too Dry for the Bees. It is impossible for me to do without the American Bee Journal. The last season was too dry here in this locality for the bees to gather much honey, but what I did get was fine—all comb honey. I have 35 colonies of .5-banded Italians and hybrids, in dovetailed hives. Geokge E. Ulkich. Dauphin Co., Pa. Good Year for Bees. I started beekeeping four years ago with one colony, and last spring (1S97) I had eight; from them I had -IS gallons of ex- tracted, and 100 pounds of comb honey, besides eight swarms. I now have 16 strong colonies, and winter them on the summer stands, in Langstroth 2story lO-trame hives. We had a good year—white clover plentiful, and honey very nice. Summit Co., Ohio. "Hiram Bradley. Deep Snow and Storm. The winter was very mild and pleasant until about one week ago when we were blest with a good foot of '"the beautiful," making a good 18 inches of snow on the level, and this morning we awoke to find a terrible storm in progress, with snowdrifts of enormous size, and all double-walled hives outside of the bee-house literally buried beneath the snow. It is one of the worst storms 'that this section of the coun- try has witnest in lU years. I hope it has not reacht as far south as Chicago. From a •' snowed in " bee-keeper. Chas. E. Crawford.
