Drone Layers

When the thermometer regis
ters about GO look into your bee
hives and see if the queen is lay
ing worker eggs. Upon her abil-
ity to lay worker eggs depends
the life of the colony. In late
summer or early fall bees usually
supersedc any queen that is too
old or otherwise will jeopardize
the continued life Of the colony.
Last September and all Of Octo-
Der the rains were almost constant
so that if the queen was super.
seeded in early September or late
October, it is possible the young
queen could not take the mating
fight on account Of bad weather.
Not having mated she could lay
only drone eggs all her live. If,
on looking over the combs now
you find only drone brood in the
hive Notwithstanding you see a
queen, she has not mated and is
only drone layer.
Catch her and kill her. Insert
a comb Of brood and eggs from
your choice colony and in Is days
they will have a young queen
which in all probability will be
mated for by the first Of May,
the weather will be warm and
drones will be on the wing. Two
of my strongest colonies have
drone layers. Usually the bees
do not carry in much pollen when
in this condition. If you see this
examine them. There is usually.
something wrong which can be
easily remedied. If neglected the
colony will soon perish.
Keep the Bees From Starving
Strong colonies of bees will con
snme about 200 pounds Of honey
each during the year. They need
a great quantity in breeding time
in the spring and if you want a
strong colony that will gather you
a nice surplus you must see to it
that is has an abundant store of
good honey for the breeding sea-
son from February to June. If
they are short of stores they will
regulate their breeding according
ly and will not have the force nee
cssary to gather a good surplus.
They will breed up and eventual
ly be strong but then the surplus
season is past. | find that my
strongest colonies need some help
and have inserted in each two
solid frames of honey kept over
from last years surplus. This
encourages them to keep up the
breeding and these young bees
that are now Matched and that
will be Matched the next three
weeks are the working forces that
must gather the surplus. 1t takes
about 80 days from the egg be-
fore a bee will go out as a field
worker and bring in honey.

Seventeen Days
 Without Mail

The longest period of waiting for mail from the south that Wrangell has experienced in a long time, IT days, terminated Tuesday morning when the mail brought by the Spokane Monday was received. The Spokane ar rived here at 10:30 Monday even- ing. Postmaster Stedman had 100 sacks of mail to distribute Tuesday and the Post Office was a busy place all day.
 Local merchants received 100 tons of freight on the Spokane. The supply of sugar, eggs, butter and other staples was running low, some of the merchants being entirely out of one or two of these things before the boat arrived. The fresh vegetables which the Spokane brought were disposed of very quickly to Wrangell housewives.

PETERSBURG, Alaska Frec

PETERSBURG, Alaska Fred Handy, deputy United States marshal, made whirlwind cleanup Thursday night by raid ing four places in town suspected of having intoxicating liquors concealed on the premises. The raids were successful in that they netted three truckloads of evi- dence which is now reposing in the courthouse, and which con- sists of a lot of home brew which the government alleges was being sold.
 The places searched were the buildings occupied by Antonio Corda, J. s. Smith, the Arctic hotel and the Arctic club.
 Warrants have been issued charging all owners of the places with having liquor in their pos session, contrary to the Alaska bone dry law.

With the mail contract for Alaska awarded to the Admiral Line and the Alaska Steamship Company, it is generally supposed that Southeastern Alaska will re- ceive better mail service.
 Mail has been carried as express and freight since August l, 1918, the steamship companies and the government having failed to get together on specifications and compensation after negotiations covering a period of several months had been made. With mail clerks on the boats as for merly and arrangements for a better schedule for the boats, there is no doubt but that Alas ka people will be glad that a change has been made.
 The local Post Office has not received official notification cov- ering the new arrangements but it is reported generally that all boats for the Westward will stop at Wrangell going north. John H. Bunch, general freight and passenger agent for Alaska for the Alaska Steamship Co.,, has stated that the vessels of his fleet sailing from Seattle to Southwes- tern Alaska will make regular calls in Southeastern Alaska with mail at the ports of Ketchikan, Wrangell and Juneau. The con- tracts went into effect November 1 and run to June 30, 1922, which is the date for the reletting of all Alaska contracts.
