In the winter I lost, by starvation and diarrhea, 12, and by spring dwindling, after taking them out of the cellar, 10 more; so we began the season of 1890 with 9 colo- nies, and two no more than nuclei. We increased these to 15, bought 10 colo- nies, and took off about 500 pounds of extracted honey.
