Best Honey Season in Years. 



The past honey season has been the best we 

 have had tor years in western Massachusetts. 

 I securetl 75 pounds per colony, and the qual- 

 ity cannot be excelled. 



I much regret the almost total failure of 

 the honey crop in many sections of the coun- 

 try, as reported in the Bee .Journal, but I trust 

 that we all realize that there are ups and 

 downs in the bee-keeping business as in all 

 other occupations in life, yet if we persevere 

 reward will surely come. Jos. Blake.

Report for the Past Season. 



I haye 9 colonies of bees in winter quarters. 

 I wintered only one colony last winter, and 

 secured no increase, but they stored 3b pounds 

 of nice section honey, which I sold for 15 cents 

 per pound. H. J. Coolet.

Bees Didn't Do Very Well. 



My Ix-es ilidn't ilu yery well this season. 

 They were wintered in a cold, damp cellar, 

 the temperature sometimes going down to 10 

 degrees below the freezing-point, so they were 

 yery weak in the spring. 



I secured only 400 sections of comb honey 

 from 10 colonies, spring count, and increast 

 to 15. I use nothing but the tall sections — 

 4x5x3% — with separators. Honey sells more 

 readily in them, and I can get a better price 

 for it. Will Ehlebt.

Poor Season for Honey. 



This has been a poor season for houe,y in 

 this locality, on account of the dry weather in 

 May and .June, but I feel that I can not get 

 along without the American Bee .Journal.

The Rural Californian 



Cotton Honey— Swarming. 



I notice on page 797 (1900) a report headed 

 ■' Cotton as a Honey-Plant," in answer to R. 

 P. Davies' letter on page 718. Mr. Carr says 

 he doesn't think that cotton is anything extra 

 as a honey-piant. but that we have a variety 

 of prairie-tlovvers which are our main source 

 for surplus honey. lie may leave Lamar 

 county out when it conies, to pralrie-tlowers. 

 When cotton fails to yield nectar the bee- 

 keepers o£ this part of the State wear a long 

 face. I extracted 700 pounds of cotton honey 

 secured from 11 colonies, spring count, and 

 increast to 33. Mr. Davies is mistaken about 

 the bees gathering surplus from the cotton 

 bloom. They get the nectar from the middle 

 stem of the leaf, and from the siiuare and 

 bolls they get pollen. They do get some honey 

 from the bloom. 



On page 777 is an article headed, •' Do Bees 

 Select their Future Home Before Swarming;" 

 In my opinion this question will never be 

 settled, tho I believe 1 should take the m-ga-
