As a novice I joined a county association, and was promised that the expert would visit me at least once a year. The rules say "periodically," and as I wanted advice I wrote to the secre- tary, who sent my letter on to the ex- pert, and after a time the latter wrote telling me what to do with the bees until he came, which would be early in June. I then had a card from him saying he could not come till the end of June, and the same thing happened in July. I wrote and told him how anxious I was, While acting on the advice given and waiting for the expert I lost three stocks of bees. I bought a queen to put in with one lot, with some brood I had taken from my other colony. The queen seemed to be well accepted, as I saw her fourteen days later. The colony was then closed down with plenty of stores. This spring, however, they were queenless, and the stock died out, as I did not unite owing to cold weather. I have not taken 1 lb. of honey in the past two seasons, and be- sides losing these stocks I have fittings and foundation for all lying idle.
