It was not cold, but a hard storm with a foot of snow. The roads are blocked with snow. The wind blew a gale. Bees flew well one day last week and seem in good condition. F. A. SnEll. Milledgeville, III., Feb. 20. Bees in a "Vinegary'* Cellar. I see a report is asked for on bees wintering in a cellar that has vinegar stored in it. (See page 55). I kept 12 colonies last winter in a cellar that had 10 barrels of vinegar with the bungs open, and one barrel was spilled all over the floor by having the hoops rust off. Vet the bees all wintered. A. J. Morse. Diamond. Pa., Feb. 17. Bees Seemingly Doing Well. My bees are doing fine. I think. I have not examined any of them yet. When we have a pretty warm day they are gathering some pollen from the soft-maple trees. I put 14 colonies into winter quarters, and they seem to be all right, and strong. I have one im- ported queen from central Italy. I want to rear a few queens from her. I have one golden and all the rest are good 3-banded Italians, and hustlers. Ch.\s. Henson. Springdale. Ark., Feb. 24. Report for 1907. My bees did fairly well in 1907. I had 25 colonies in the spring. Some of them were quite light. 1 fed them in April to start breeding, so as to have them ready for the early flow of nectar. I work for comb honey altogether. I got 1,200 pounds of white honey, and sold it at home for 15 cents a pound. I also got IS good swarms. I have a total of 40 colonies, and put them into the cellar Nov. 30, in good condition.
