Good Prospects for Honey. 



I surely can not get along without 

 the American Bee Journal. This is 

 my second year with bees, and I have 

 27 colonies, and the prospects for a 

 honey crop are good here. Basswood 

 has just opened.

Gathering fpom Alfalfa. 



Alfalfa, second crop, is now in full 

 bloom, and bees are collecting honey 

 rapidly from it. The first crop did not 

 yield much honey ; in fact, the early 

 part of the season was against bee- 

 keeping. Many strong colonies did 

 Dot have sufficient honey coming in to 

 supply their necessary demand. Re- 

 sult, hungry swarms, many of which 

 absconded. I fed my bees, kept them 

 busy, divided them as they would bear 

 it, and have had no natural swarms.

Experience in Bee-Keeping. 



In 1901 we started bee-keeping, and 

 have had bad luck until the present 

 time. We bought 2 colonies of bees in 

 1901, and increased to 6, and they win- 

 tered well, and in the spring of 1902 

 we bought 7 more and rented 39, so we 

 had in all 52 colonies of bees. We 

 started to work, and have not stopped 

 yet ; we worked and got nothing 

 through the first part of the summer, 

 but in the latter part we divided and 

 ran them up pretty well ; put between 

 92 and 98 (I do not exactly remember 

 the number) away into winter quart- 

 ers, and came out in the spring with 30 

 colonies, and we felt pretty sick over 

 it. Before I forget it I will say the 

 rented bees did nothing but build up 

 for the coming winter ; that was the 

 spring of 1902, and, in 1903, 15 colonies 

 were turned back New Year's day, so 

 we got rid of them. All the rented
