great length of time. At length the 

 great cloud slowly rolled away with 

 apparent intent to go to the woods. I 

 bade them good-by. On the road, how- 

 ever, they passed directly over a bushel 

 basket which I had with bees in it, and 

 many of them were rallying around. 

 Over this alluring spot they halted in 

 their career — and with much waiting I 

 had the whole mess down on the bas- 

 ket. 



The swarm left to go when they got 

 ready ; staid only a little over an hour.

A Very Dry Season. 



This part of Los Angeles county will 

 produce no surplus honey this year. If 

 the bees make their own living without 

 feeding they will do better than I ex- 

 pect. We are having a very dry sea- 

 son. M. K. Chandlbr.

Always Up-to-Date. 



I like the American Bee Journal very 

 much ; it is always up-to-date in mat- 

 ter pertaining to the busy bee.

Fine Basswood Flow. 



We are having the finest flow from 

 basswood I ever saw. I have taken off 

 nearly 500 pounds of comb and ex- 

 tracted honey, and have more to take 

 off. This is the invoice I took yester- 

 day : 



XX — 27 supers, being capped, 

 of 30 sections each 810. 



X— 32 supers in which bees are 

 working 960 



O— 15 gupers just begun 450 



3 extra supers full. 



13 extra supers beginning. 



I am putting on 500 sections to-day. 

 I have increased from 36 colonies to 64, 

 but I bought 2 swarms. 



It rained hard day before yesterday, 

 and although there was a light shower 

 yesterday the bees never stopped work- 

 ing. I can leave a comb of honey any- 

 where in the apiary without fear of rob- 

 ber-bees. But it won't last long thus, I 

 fear ; but we have lots of white clover 

 in bloom, and although it had begun to 

 fail, this good rain will keep it going.

Ppefers the Tall Section. 



To-day is the day for celebration, 

 and I am enjoying my Fourth taking 

 swarms and watching the bees work. 

 This is certainly a record-breaking 

 season for the bees, as far as it has 

 gone, that is, in this locality. I have 

 never known the white clover to be so 

 abundant before. 



Say, Mr. York, what is that, on page 

 454, that A. C. F. Bartz is giving us in 

 regard to the tall 4x5 section ? I have 

 studied Capt. Hetherington's life some, 

 and I glory in his spunk and alertness. 

 He was a firm believer in the tall 4x5 

 section, and he was the first to use 

 them to any extent- I bought 10 Dan- 

 zenbaker hives with the closed-end 

 brood-frames, and 4x5x1 ;is sections, 

 with the cleated separator, and I have 

 learned for myself that the tall sec-
