Best Fall Honey-Flow. 



The early summer was not very 

 favorable for the bees in this locality, 

 but this fall is the best we have ever 

 had. We will get 1500 or 1600 pounds 

 of honey, about 1200 pounds of which 

 will be extracted, from 21 colonies, 

 spring- count. There is not much sale 

 for honey here. Harvey R. Chinn.

One of the Asters. 



Kindly name the enclosed flower. 

 There is an abundance of it this sea- 

 son now in full bloom. The bees are 

 working on it more vigorously than 

 they have on white clover or any other 

 bloom. Does it make good honey ? 

 and of what color ? 



This is my first season with the 

 bees, and they have done very well. 

 Geo. E. Wilkins. 



Wright Co., Mo., Sept. 23. 



[The flower is one of the asters — 

 Aster ericoides — and is an excellent 

 honey-producing plant. Nearly all the 

 asters and goldenrods furnish first- 

 quality nectar for the bees, and where 

 these plants are abundant the apiarist 

 need have no fear of empty or half- 

 filled supers. — C. L. Wai,ton.] 



The Value of Honey-Leaflets. 



I took several of the leaflets, " Facts 

 About Honey and Bees ", to town and 

 distributed them, and the result was 

 that the next time I went in the mer- 

 chant wanted me to bring in more ex- 

 tracted and comb honey. Extracted 

 honey is going fast in Sounce tumb- 

 lers for 10 cents, and this clears for 

 me 14 cents per pound cash. I have a 

 large stock of tumblers filled and ready 

 for the market, and ordered another 

 barrel yesterday. I shall work more 

 for extracted honey in the future, as 

 comb honey brings only 12/2 cents per 

 pound. People will buy a great deal 

 more honey if they can buy it in 10- 

 cent packages. Some will buy a glass 

 of honey when they come to town, just 

 to try it, and they like it so well that 

 each time they come they will get a 

 glass or two. 



A grain-buyer — a young, well-edu- 

 cated man — came to me the other day, 

 asking for another leaflet, as someone 

 had taken his. He wanted Dr. Miller 

 to read it (we have a Dr. Miller here, 

 too). He said it was wonderful. I also 



gave oue to another doctor here, who 

 was at one time demonstrator of Bac- 

 teriology in Rushvclle Medical College, 

 and he liked it very much. I gave a 

 copy to the editor of our local paper, 

 and asked him to republish it if he 

 thought it worthy. 



When reading one of these leaflets 

 one is tempted to think that it is not 

 all the truth ; in fact, the account
