=The "Bee Journal" a Great Help.=
There is so much valuable information in the BEE JOURNAL that I cannot
afford to destroy them, but will bind them and keep them as a book of
reference. Really, I don't see how I could do without the BEE JOURNAL,
or some other bee-paper that would come up to its standard. Last year I
produced 1,500 pounds of comb honey, while in former years I never got
over 400 pounds. Of course the extra flow last year accounts for much
of my better success, but I also attribute very much of it to the "Old
Reliable."
Myself and son have now 55 colonies in winter quarters, all apparently
doing well except one colony that I think is queenless. Our success
last year would have been much greater had the dry weather not cut the
basswood flow short.
