[Mr. Parsons, we think you are exactly correct in not thinking it right to occupy space in the Bee Journal with a discussion of the proposed attempt in the line of a spelling reform. It would be out of place in a bee-paper. But we feel that, in justice, what we have said so far in regard to it was really necessary, so that all might un- derstand our position.—Editor.] Bees Doing Fairly Well. The Feb. 11 issue of the Bee Journal must have been miscarried by mail, as it did not come to hand, and something seemed to be wrong all last week, it not coming. It seems we can't do without it. We have two colonies of Italian bees, which are win- tering on the summer stands. It is our first experience with bees. They seem to do fairly well. They had a good flight a few days ago. I will increase my number of colonies next summer. GUSTAVUS KOLLS. Hall Co., Nebr., Feb. 20. Bees Breeding—Many Frauds. Bees have wintered well so far. They are breeding now. I have 24 colonies on the summer stands. Bees went into winter quarters rather light last fall. I got only about one-half as much surplus honey last season as the year before, but I hope tor a good yield the coming season. Give the swindlers and adulterators fits ! I hope it will not be long till we can have laws in every State that will place every one of that class behind the iron bars.
