Dadant Owing to the extra long and hard winter, we look for severe losses throughout the whole north of the country, and the reports coming in confirm this to a large extent. Throughout the New England States the losses have been extra heavy, ranging around 25 per cent. In New York, cellar wintered bees seem to be coming out with a 2 to 4 per cent loss, where there is no disease. Outside, the loss will run from 20 to 30 per cent, and probably more where there is disease. The preval

Dadant Owing to the extra long and hard winter, we look for severe losses throughout the whole north of the country, and the reports coming in confirm this to a large extent. Throughout the New England States the losses have been extra heavy, ranging around 25 per cent. In New York, cellar wintered bees seem to be coming out with a 2 to 4 per cent loss, where there is no disease. Outside, the loss will run from 20 to 30 per cent, and probably more where there is disease. The prevalence of American foulbrood in some localities in New York will just about wipe out some of the beekeepers. One report from Pennsylvania giv°s the loss at 40 per cent, while others do not seem to think it will be quite so severe. In New Jersey the loss will be about 25 per cent. Throughout the southeast the loss do^s not seem to be so heavy, although we have a report from one of the large Georgia beekeepers that his loss will range around 20 per cent. Other reports indicate from 1 to 5 per cent loss. This applies to all the territory south of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi river. Losses throughout southern Illinois, Missouri and southern Iowa seem to be small, while further north the losses increase. In Wisconsin cellar wintered bees are coming out in very good shape. In Michigan cellared bees report about a 2 to 5 per cent loss. Through the States of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, however, outdoor wintered bees are reporting very heavy losses, ranging from 20 to 40 per cent. In Texas the loss has been from 5 to 15 per cent, aver- aging probably about 10 per cent, while some apiaries report no loss, with bees in excellent condition. Arizona and New have an average loss of from 2 to 5 per cent, while Colorado reports better than ordinary with from 2 to 7 per cent loss. Some few apiarists report much heavier loss than this, ranging from 15 to 20 per cent. In Mon
