Bees Did Pretty Well. 



The bees have treated us pretty well 

 this season, though it takes lots of 

 drumming' to sell honey at a "live 

 and let live "price. However, I hope 

 to be able to " drum " enough out of 

 it to go to St. Louis to the convention.

Laws for Bee-Keepeps— Coppeetion. 



On page 573 there is either a mis- 

 print, or else I made a blunder. I in- 

 tended to say that I had no friendly 

 feeling for those bee-keepers who 

 knowingly keep bees diseased with 

 foul brood, or who report through the 

 press that bee-keepers manufacture 

 comb honey, and fill and cap it over. 

 Nor for that class of people who adul- 

 terate honey by combining it with glu- 

 cose, then label and sell it for pure 

 honey. I do not wish to be misunder- 

 stood concerning matters of this kind, 

 for in most parts of the country foul 

 brood can be stamped out. Ignorant 

 and malicious falsifiers can be exposed, 

 and adulterators of honey can be pun- 

 ished by law. If we, the bee-keepers 

 of the country, will only make a united 

 effort in each State by applying to the 

 legislature for an eiTective law, we 

 would be but asking for justice to our- 

 selves as well as the masses who pur- 

 chase and consume honey.

Results of the Season. 



I secured 1800 pounds of extracted 

 clover honey from 17 colonies, and 60 

 pounds of comb honey from one colony. 

 I got nothing from the basswood 

 bloom, as the weather was too hot in 

 the daytime, and the nights were too 

 cool. Chas. J. Dappel.

Good Honey Crop— Swarming. 



In my report of July 30, page 574, 

 there is an error in the amount of 

 honey taken off at that time. If I said 

 sections I meant supers. Since that 

 time I have taken off 10 more supers. 



I have 61 sections on at present, and 

 if conditions hold out I think they will 

 be ready to come off at the end of the 

 month, when I intend taking all the 

 supers off, and give the colonies a 

 chance to store for winter supplies. 



We have had all kinds of weather the 

 last week — extremely hot by spells. 

 The bees are doing fairly well. I will 

 report the result of the honey harvest 

 for the season later on. Up to this 

 time the bees have gone away beyond 

 my expectations in the amount of honey 

 stored. 



I had no swarming for more than a 

 month. I hived the prime swarms by 

 caging the clipped queen and setting 

 .the hive on the parent stand, moving 

 the parent colony to a new stand, mark- 

 ing it, and in eight days cut out the 

 queen-cells. If none were hatched I 

 cut out all but the largest and marked 

 it O. K. Eight days from that time I
