. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. • 40th YEAR, CHICAGO, ILL, MARCH 22, 190D, No, 12, . A Michigan Bee-Keeper and His Apiary. BV CARSON VAN BI, ARICUM. THE illustration shown herewith is my apiarj', taken some five years ago, when I concluded to engage in bee- keeping. I began to know a honey-bee as early as 1884 from that time until 1894 I had from one to eight colonies which were manipulated on the " know-nothing " plan and of course without any profit except what little honey we had for table use. My first colony was purchast of a neighbor for $4 00 My father did the " riot act " all that summer with cotton cloth around a stick in place of a smoker, which I manipu- lated to his dictation. This same summer (as noted above) my father was badly stung and of course has held aloft from the bee-fever ever since. I remember one day when we had finisht taking honey—(to " take " was to cut the honey from the brood-frames, replacing the same to be filled again.) About one hour afterward, we noticed a smoke issuing from the hive we had examined, and coming near we beheld the cover on fire. It took but a moment to remove it; the quilt was on fire and the brood-frame top-bars were blazing, the bees were in the air and on ?the ground in a state of complete rout. We ex- •tinguisht the blaze and shortly after they cast a swarm which made two colonies. They died "the following winter. My next venture was the coming June, when another neighbor placed a swarm in the hive for SO cents, which was the nucleus of my present apiary of 32 colonies. These bees were large brown ones with gray bands instead of yellow ones. My bees at present are nearly all Adels, -which I think are superior, having tested differ- ent strains. I have been successful in control- ling the swarming-impulse. My plan of wintering has been an entire success for eight years. The winter of 1898-99 I prepared on the summer stands for winter 30 colonies, and lost two. I t
