☞ L’Apicoltore, the organ of the Central Società d’Apicoltore d’Italia, also gives the Bee Journal the following very kind notice, in its excellent number for February:
“The bee-papers are every day augmenting to suit the increasing need of the readers, and the publisher of the American Bee Journal, Signor Newman, who came to Europe and to Milan last year, announces that at the beginning of 1881 his Monthly Journal will be issued every week.”
☞ In Mr. A. Hoke’s letter, on page 77, he stated that the dead bees covered the ground for several yards. That was bad enough, but our compositor made it a hundred times worse by adding the word hundred. The reader will please discount that expression accordingly.
SELECTIONS FROM
OUR LETTER BOX
But Few Bees Lost.— We have had a pretty hard winter for bees, although I have heard of but few losses in this section. My bees are packed in chaff, and are all alive but 2 colonies, which were very weak when packed. Success to the Bee Journal.
