has fallen at intervals conducive to the 

 most good. We may reasonably ex- 

 pect enough more rain to round out the 

 year, not only to the benefit of the 

 apiary, but to all other industries 

 which receive good from it. 



I do not think there will be any over- 

 production of honey, however favorable 

 the season may be, because so many 

 apiaries are in such poor condition. It 

 will take most of the season to get the 

 colonies in good working order again, 

 therefore I do not anticipate that the 

 Eastern market will be overstock! with 

 California honey. 



My year is up, and I want the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal for another year, be- 

 cause of the benefit I derive from it.

Farmers and Sweet Clover. 



We have had two poor seasons here, 

 but the indications are fair for a good 

 honey crop next season. 



Farmers in this vicinity have begun 

 to see the benefits of sweet clover. 

 One of the leading farmers of this sec- 

 tion sowed 10 acres of corn to sweet 

 clover last July, and says he will get 

 two crops of hay next summer, plow 

 the third crop under, and raise wheat 

 on the land the next season. Thus he 

 raises a full crop each year, and im- 

 proves his land by the rotting of crops, 

 which he says is the cheapest fertilizer 

 he can get. He expects to plant 

 another 10 acres of corn next spring, 

 and the latter part of July or the first 

 of August sow sweet clover seed among 

 the corn, and in this waj' will not lose 

 the use of his land any year. He 

 thinks the clover improves the yield of 

 wheat about 10 bushels to the acre. He 

 has been experimenting with it for 

 several years. He intends to com- 

 mence keeping bees, and if he does he 

 will make a success of it.

Poop Prospects for Next Season. 



I have 80 colonies of bees in s-frame 

 Langstroth hives, and run them for 

 comb honey. As the past season was 

 a poor one in this locality they did not 

 average above 2ii poUnds per colony, 

 and I do not think that the honey-crop 

 of Utah would average more than 10 

 pounds per colony. 



Foul brood has been quite prevalent 

 here the past two years ; it seems that 

 the disease has a tendency to follow a 

 poor season. 



The prospects for the coming season 

 are not very bright ; we depend upon 

 irrigation for bee-forage, and as but 

 little snow has fallen up to date, if we 

 do not get more the season will be dis- 

 astrous indeed to both farmers and 

 bee-keepers. E. B. Nelson.

Bee-Moths and Millers in Apple- 

 Trees. 



I had 25 colonies of bees during the 

 past season, 20 of which I had under 

 the grape-vines, and S in the orchard 

 under the apple-trees. Only one col- 

 ony out of the 20 under the grape-vines 

 was bothered with moths, while all 5 of 

 those under the apple-trees had moths 

 in them. I put two under a crab-apple 

 tree which bore deep-red apples, one
