J'ai loué un voiture, mis dans tous mes effets, le cheval, chiens, abeilles, etc., et d'un accompagnateur est allé avec le stock. J'ai mis une éponge sur le dessus du fil-tissu couvrant chaque ruche, et a demandé à l'homme en charge du stock de mouiller ces éponges tous les jours. Comme les ruches étaient très léger dans les magasins, et le broood-nids ont été remplis de couvain, J'ai envoyé le long d'une grande boîte de miel, et j'ai commandé un peu de ce mettre sur le dessus du fil de tissu chaque jour.

I chartered a car, put in all my house- hold effects, horse, dogs, bees, etc., and an attendant went with the stock. I put a sponge on top of the wire-cloth covering each hive, and instructed the man in care of the stock to wet these sponges every day. As the hives were very light in stores, and the broood-nests were filled with brood, I sent along a large tin of honey, and ordered a little of this put on top of the wire-cloth each day. The weather was exceedingly warm when they were nailed up, and the first two days of the journey was also very hot. The balance of the way the weather was cool. None of the frames were wired, and the combs were a mixed lot, old and new. On opening them at Pullman, all were in very bad condition ; four of the colo- nies were dead, the combs having melted down. In the remaining ten hives there were more or less dead bees. Nursing seemed to have been neglected, and the young bees suffered in consequence. All the queens had stopped laying, and it was quite two weeks after they were set down here, before the queens regained their accustomed inclination to lay. Three of my best queens were amongst the ten that were saved. One thing is in our favor here—we are first on the ground with bees—no bees nearer than Snake River, 18 miles away. No trouble to weed out black blood here. Later I may tell how bees do in the far-famed Palouse valley. If bees could gather honey from wheat, the country around here would be a bonanza for the bee-man ! Pullman, Wash., July 28.
