ECHOES FROM THE HIVES. early manipulation. There is no need, if one reads their Journal carefully, to warn fellow-brothers in " hives " of the sad tragedies which occur to some of our little friends at this time of the year. I have just paid a visit to my apiary, my first for 20 months, and found one such case, with stores of honey, but no winter passage way, and being an extra cold year the bees were starved; the remaining six stocks were very strong, although mortality seems above the aver- age. I transferred one colony, as they seemed so damp, and the poor dead bodies outside of brood box, through bad pack- ing last summer, shows that death comes to many even then through careless- ness. Otherwise the queen seemed to be laying well, and I hope no harm will ensue from the somewhat early turn out, which they resented just a wee bit. T fancy, though, after a long stay in, a shake up in reason has its benefits, as there seems an enormous amount of waste matter collected. I can hear of no cases of " Isle of Wiaht " disease locally.— A. H.
