. The American bee keeper. Bee culture; Honey. 209 THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER October Worcester, Mass. When I left college, 1892, I began teaching, but continued to go home to care for my bees, when- ever occasion demanded, and I could get away from my school duties. Two or three visits from April till the sum- mer vacation in late June usually suf- ficed. In 1894 pickled brood (?) made such ravages in my apiary at the old home that I broke it up and gave way all but five colonies. These I joined with two other colonies which I had carried with me on my teaching pil- grimages, and from 1895 I kept from four to 15 colonies in Walpole, Mass. honey. Those elsewhere are run for chunk honey, and strained honey. "It is some five years ago that I first thought it would pay to set large hives out on farms in different localities, from which to cut honey in the fall of the year. I now have sixty or more such hives, and I find that the income from honey and wax is vei'y good, the work being rather light, the bees need- ing only a minimum of attention.

I kept from two to five colonies while teaching in the towns of Deerfield and Andover previous to this. 1 kept the bees in Walpole till I moved to Nor- wich, Conn., in 1902. "It was in 1901 that I first took bees to Provincetown, Mass. I now have 10 colonies in Provincetown, 13 in Truro, Mass., 14 in Lancaster, Mass., 26 on the hills about Norwich, Conn., and 60 colonies in my home yard, besides a dozeji or more nuclei. The colonies in the home yard are run for section average more than a pound each. "I have always made my own hives. I first used a fiame about 13 deep by 11 long, nine to the hive. Then I shifted the frame so that it was 11 deep by 13 long. That frame I used for 15 years, and
