The bees are of a beauti- ful yellow and the cjueen keeps 20 Dan/en- baker frames so full of brood that there isn't room for 10 pounds of honey in tlie two hive bodies. B, G. Kleritz. Central Station Apiary. A California Description While visiting friends at Orange. I was in- vited to accompany Mr. L. A. Korse on one of his daily visits to his apiary just out of the city He has 150 colonies, and runs for extracted honey, as most of them do here. The swarming season is on. and many swarms have recently issued. An extra good season comes about every 5 years, wlien an extra large colony will produce 300 pounds of honey, and they have been known to produce even more. Mr. Korse has kept bees for many years, and keeps his apiary free from disease. California has county inspectors, and the diseases are kept under control. Illinois, my home, will be wise if they follow this examble. L. M. Sells. Pasadena. May 21. Half of an Apiary of 50 Colonies Lost I lost one-half of my apiary of so colonies during the winter.
