bees in this county. I am well pleased with the Weekly BEE JOURNAL.
W. A. HERRON.
Indianola, Iowa, March 28, 1881.
=Wintered Without Loss.=--I believe I am the only one in this county
that has not lost more or less bees this winter. My bees were all
transferred from box hives last fall, their stores taken away, and they
were fed on syrup. They have wintered without any loss of bees. I have
bought of Mr. Muth, of Cincinnati, some extracted basswood honey, and
shall dilute it with sugar syrup and feed this spring. My bees all have
more or less brood now.
W. T. CLARY.
Clarysville, Ky., March 29, 1881.
=Wintered Safely.=--Bees are dying very rapidly in this section of
country. I have 18 colonies; 2 are weak, but I have lost none so far. I
bought a Cyprian queen from a firm in the East. She wintered all right,
but her workers are hybrid Italians. I lost one last fall by foul
brood. I am much pleased with the Weekly BEE JOURNAL.
WM. H. GARIHAN.
Northumberland, Pa., March 28, 1881.
=Chaff Did Not Save the Bees.=--The bees in this vicinity are mostly
dead. Chaff did not save them from the effects of the past severe
winter.
L. HUBBARD.
Waldron, Mich., March 25, 1881.
=Wintered in Chaff.=--Three-fourths of the bees in this neighborhood
are dead. I packed mine with chaff on the summer stands, and they came
out nice and strong. I am a beginner, and derive much benefit from the
BEE JOURNAL, which is a welcome visitor.
EVAN B. HADLEY.
Deming, Ind., March 29, 1881.
=Eleven Swarms from One Colony.=--I commenced the last spring with
13 Italian and 4 black colonies, and in the fall I had 70; lost 6 in
wintering by being queenless. I have sold 4, and now have 60 doing
well. I had 11 swarms from one colony and its increase, besides 50 lbs.
of honey. The BEE JOURNAL is _the_ bee paper, and I wish it success.
E. CARR.
Leesville, Texas, March 14, 1881.
=A Visit Every Week, Very Pleasant.=--My bees have been at work on the
soft maple for the past week. I commenced the winter with 31 colonies;
I now have 21; many of them are very strong; some died with plenty of
honey in their hives. Last season was a poor one, giving no surplus. I
think there will be a heavy loss of bees here. I thought I would not
like the Weekly BEE JOURNAL as well as the monthly, but I would not
exchange it now for any monthly, because I can hear from my bee-keeping
friends every week. I wish it great success.
N. DAVIS.
Emporia, Kan., March 28, 1881.
=Buds are Swelling; Spring is Coming.=--By the JOURNAL I notice that
the winter has been a disastrous one to bees. It must be hard to report
a loss of ½ or ¾; and some of the reports even say--“all dead.” I am
afraid that some of the bee-keepers in this section can say ditto to
these reports. The loss around here is greater than there is any need
of, on account of the carelessness of farmers in preparing their bees
for winter; some of them leave them out on the summer stands without
any protection whatever, and of course the result is plain. I have
wintered mine in the cellar for the past 2 seasons without any loss,
except one that starved this winter; and I am to blame for that in not
knowing their condition when I put them in the cellar. I think that
now all fear of loss is past, for my bees are doing as well as could
be desired. They are breeding considerably, and are all bright and
healthy. The snow is going off slowly, at last, and we may look for
spring soon. The maple trees are full of swelling buds--it is too early
to say anything about fruit bloom; I don’t know whether it is killed
or not. White clover looks well where the snow is off, and it promises
well for the coming season.
HARRY G. BURNET.
Blairstown, Iowa, March 26, 1881.
=Bees About All Dead.=--I put my bees into winter quarters in the
Mitchell hive, packed with clover chaff at each end of the hive about
6 inches thick, and over the top with cushions with the same, about
4 inches thick, all on the summer stands. My loss is now about 2 per
cent. The snow is now from 12 to 15 inches deep; this does not look
very encouraging; the bees in this part of the country are about all
dead. I like the JOURNAL much better as a Weekly than before?; it gives
us _fresh_ news.
S. M. OLDHAM.
Reynoldsburg, O., March 30, 1881.
=Double-Walled Hives.=--A large proportion of bees have died in this
vicinity this winter. I have lost 6 colonies out of 16. I am using
Hill’s double-walled winter bee hive. I lost none wintered in these
hives, but every one in Langstroth hives died. I wintered on summer
stands and one hive had as much protection as another. I feel sure I
should have saved all if I had used the double-walled hive; those that
died had honey enough in the hive to have wintered them through, if
they could have got at it. My bees are carrying pollen every day they
can be out.
J. R. WILCOX.
Utica, Ind., March 29, 1881.
=Losses in Wintering.=--Having seen no report from this vicinity, I
have taken some pains to ascertain the extent of the losses of the
bee-men of this part of Wayne county, Ind. I have reports (some of
them indirectly) from 34. Ten report a total loss; 8, 90 per cent.;
6, 80 per cent.; the others from 33 to 25 per cent. The average loss
of colonies will probably be 80 per cent., and those colonies which
survive are very much reduced in numbers. Most of them were left
unprotected on the summer stands. I find that those that were taken
into the cellar before the severe cold of November, came through with
small loss, while those taken in after ice had accumulated in the hive,
fared the worst of all. I am an advocate of cellar wintering, having
never lost a colony until the present winter, and that is through
neglect in not taking them in early; I lost 3 this time. I am convinced
that dysentery (the one great cause of our loss) could have been
much mitigated by keeping an even temperature, which cannot be done
out-of-doors, and had we removed their unsealed, poor food and fed them
candy instead, our reports would have been different. Two colonies thus
treated by me came through in good condition. My bees gathered pollen
and honey yesterday from the willow. Maple will be in bloom in a few
days.

Honey and Beeswax Market.
BUYERS’ QUOTATIONS.
CHICAGO.
HONEY--The market is plentifully supplied with honey, and sales are
slow at weak, easy prices. Quotable at 18@20c. for strictly choice
white comb in 1 and 2 lb. boxes; at 14@16c. for fair to good in large
packages, and at 10@12c. for common dark-colored and broken lots.
Extracted, 8@10c.
BEESWAX.--Choice yellow, 20@23c.; dark, 15@17.
NEW YORK.
HONEY.--Best white comb honey, small neat packages, 14@16c.; fair do.,
14@16c.; dark do., 11@12; large boxes sell for about 2c. under above.
White extracted, 9@10c.; dark, 7@8c.; southern strained, 80@85c.
BEESWAX.--Prime quality, 20@23c.
CINCINNATI.
HONEY.--The market for extracted clover honey is good, at 8@10c. Comb
honey is of slow sale at 16c. for the best.
BEESWAX.--18@22c.
C. F. MUTH.
SAN FRANCISCO.
HONEY.--The “Vigilant” takes 600 cases to Liverpool. There is a
slightly improved feeling consequent upon a little more inquiry,
but prices show no material appreciation. Discouraging reports are
received from the southern part of the State, as to the prospects of
the coming crop, but other sections give promise of an abundant yield.
With a good supply yet on the market, prices are not apt to be buoyant
until the anticipated failure is more fully settled. We quote white
comb, 12@13c.; dark to good, 9@11c. Extracted, choice to extra white,
5½@6½c.; dark and candied, 5@5½c.
BEESWAX.--22@22½c., as to color.
