Honey, and my outward partswith Ayle. The 

 like answer likewise made Dgmocritus, being 

 demanded the like i|\iestion. Furthermore, It 

 is so jjeneral a .Meat through Russia, that the 

 Children eat it on their bread every morning 

 as ours do Butter to their breakfast: with 

 whom, and with Old Men it agreeth exceed- 

 ing well, cleansing their breasts, opening 

 their pipes, warcning their stomachs, resisting 

 putrefaction, and engendering sweet and 

 eommendable blood; Raw honey is never 

 good, therefore clarify it thoroughly at the 

 fire ; also let it be honey that ran and was 

 never puffed out of the combs, and of young 

 bees rather than old, feeding upon thyme, 

 rosemary, flowers, and such sweet and whole- 

 some herljs. Then may you boldly give it as 

 meat to young children, to cold and moist 

 complexions, and to rheumatick old men, 

 especially in Northern Countries, and eold 

 climates, and in the winter months. — From 

 Dk. Thomas Muffett, 1575. 



Poor Season for Bees. 



It has been a po<:ir season here this year. 

 What little honey there is is of good quality 

 and flavor. It is worth about '20 cents per 

 pound. There is nothing but pollen for the 

 bees to get now, but they seem to be making 

 good use of it. and are rearing lots of young 

 bees. Wm. Martin.

Dreadfully Dry. 



We have had dreadfully hot weather here. 

 The thermometer registered 112 degrees in 

 the shade. It completely dried everything 

 up that the bees could get a drop of nectar 

 from. The weather is much more favorable 

 now. W. T. Stephenson. 



Massac Co., 111., Aug. 13. 



Very Short Honey Crop. 



In this section of country, with not half a 

 crop of bees to start with last spring, I have 

 taken 2'20 one-pound sections from six colo- 

 nies, spring count, and increased to 15. The 

 weather was very dry, and white clover and 

 many other plants yielded almost nothing. I 

 know of but one bee-man that has taken any 

 honey, and he had 50 pounds from 18 colo- 

 nies. The bee-men here don't take bee- 

 papers — can't afford it, they say. They have 

 just as good pasture and bees, although my 

 bees work on red clover. 



What I know about bees I learned from the 

 American Bee .lournal. I bought six colonies 

 from one of those fellows that don't read bee- 

 papers. I paid 90 cents per colony for pure 

 Italian bees in 10-trame hives. They worked 

 on red clover for 53 days. I get 15 cents per 

 pound for honey, and have sold 1.S2 pounds, 

 and the rest will be gone in a few days, I 

 sell it right at home. While my crop of 

 honey is not big, 1 give the good •' old re- 

 liable '' American Bee Journal full credit for 

 my success, and lots of pleasure besides. 

 Without it I, too, would have said, " It don't 

 t>ay to tal^e bee-papers!" and keep bees. 



Hurrah for the American Bee Journal !

An Experience in Bee-Keeping. 



Three years ago I sent to a Tennessee firm 

 fur four 2-frame nuclei, at |i2.50 each, after 

 being assured that the express charges would 

 not exceed 45 cents apiece; but when they 

 arrived there were $7.75 express charges on 

 them, and one of them was queenless, and of 

 course died. I never could hear from that 

 firm again, although I wrote several times to 

 them. 



The other three nuclei built up strong, and 

 filled the eight brood-frames. They wintered 

 on the summer stands all right, and the next 

 spring, about June 1, they commenced swarm- 

 ing, and they did everlastingly swarm. I was 

 away from home, and my wife, who had had 

 no experience with bees, had her hands full. 

 She succeeded in hiving six swarms, and she 

 says five or six got away. As a result of ex- 

 eessive swarming the original colonies were 

 I reduced so that they did not store much
