Brighter Prospects In California We had two inches of rain here last week so the prospects for a honev crop are much brighter than when my friend Mendle- spn wrote, on Feb. 21st. All reports say that the bees have wintered well, and are in first- class condition. Ventura, March29. D. J. Kennedy. Heavy Winter Loss of Bees There has been a great loss in the number of coloniesof bees in Southwestern Ohio this winter, fully 50 percent being dead; and more weak colonies than I have ever seen before. That means slow breeding up for the white clover flow, which is our main honey producing plant. At this date white clover looks good. The cause of the great winter loss was honey-dew, and a shortage of winter stores. J. G. Creighton. Harrison. Ohio. March ?i. American l^ee JomnsAjt and pollen is accessible. As soon as I had the hives on the summer stands. I made them warm and snug on top by wrapping with tarred rooHng-paper. For this purpose I procure a grade of roofing-paper at a cost of 64 cents per roll of 100 feet. This is better material for wrapping hives than the ordi- nary tarred paper, and costs less. Now these Questions confront us: How long will thisNew Mexicoweather continue? If winter weather comes on again, as it is quite possible that it should here in Wis- consin, what will be the result in colonies of bees that have been getting pollen as thev have here, and undoubtedly have started as much brood as they possibly could? It might have been much better to have prevented such early bre
