. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. 428 AMERICAN BEE JOURNAj. CONDUCTED BY MRS. JENNIE ATCHLEY, Beeville, Texas. Mailing Queens—Australian Letter. Mks. Jennie Atchley :—Your kind letter of Jan. 4th came to hand on Feb. 7th. I have received eight queens from America, but all were dead. You ask my opinion about vpater being necessary. 1 must confess that I dori't knoiv, but think it may be, and I am led somewhat to that way of thinking from the fol- lowing : In August, 1893, I had landed from Italy ten choice queens by steamer, and nine were alive. The cages in which the queens traveled were about 9x9x7 inches deep; on each side were large zinc ivater-bottles about 5x4x% inch thick, with a nozzle about }.2 inch in diameter at the bottom, over which was tied two pieces of calico, through which the bees obtained the moisture. The upper part was widened to hang on the top edge of the cage, and was nailed thereto. Between the water-bottles were three combs in frames, the top-bar hanging in openings sunk in the top of the cage, and the bottom-bar just fitting between the sides of the cage ; the ends were kept }4 inch inside of the ends of the bottom-bar, thus giving M inch bee- space around the ends of the frames. The combs were fixed in these frames by tying tightly with, string, and the lid came down tightly on top of the frames, and so kept them from sagging. Under the combs was a wire-cloth screen, and under this a space of about 2 inches to the bottom of the box ; the screen allowed dirt to fall through, ven- tilation was given through holes % inch in diameter in the four sides of the box, covered inside and out with wire-cloth ; about 200 bees, perhaps more, accom- panied each queen. The cages were crated, and a wooden handle fixed at the top (so that they would not be turned over), fixed to stout fillets running up each side. You will here note that the food con- sisted of comb honey only and water. Let me here remark that a few weeks after arrival all th
