Honey Crop a Failure In Nevada. 



Nevada will have no honej' crop to 

 speak of this year. Placing it at one- 

 fifth or one-sixth of a crop would make 

 it about right. Grasshoppers and too 

 much water are the causes of a failure.

Wintered Poorly— Season too Damp. 



Bees wintered poorly last winter, my 

 loss being 25 percent. My surplus will 

 be about 3 pounds of comb honey per 

 colony, spring count. It has been too 

 wet to secure best results.

Poor Year for Bees— Wintering. 



This has been the poorest year for 

 bees in this part of the country we 

 have had in years. It has been too 

 wet. We have not had a swarm this 

 year, although I never allow my bees 

 to swarm when I can prevent it. I 

 make brush swarms when I want in- 

 crease, or when they get the swarming 

 fever so badly that I can not prevent 

 swarming. I use the 8-frame dove-
