Secured a Crop fpom Clover, 



I secured a fiue crop of honey from clover, 

 but there was no fall flow except just enough 

 to fill the hives for winter. Honey sells 

 readily at 1.5 cents— some sold at 20 cents the 

 forepart of the fall. We had plenty of rain 

 this fall, so we are looking for a good honey 

 harvest ne.xt year. The weather has been 

 exceedingly fine, and we have not put the 

 liees into the cellar yet, but there is a change 

 to-day, and I look for colder weather soon. 



I have taken the American Bee .Journal for 

 over a year, and find it very helpful. I do 

 not see how I could do without it.

"The Proof is in the Eating." 



A Mr. Roegman visited me on some busi- 

 ness the other day, and, on seeing the bee- 

 hives, made inquiry as to how much honey 

 I got the pa-t season. On being told about 

 .*400 from 23 colonies, spring count, and an 

 increase to 58, he could not Ijelieve it pos- 

 sible (as he got no honey at all) : but on 

 showing him the proof, and explaining that 1 

 was indebted to the several bee-books and 

 bee-papers which I was reading, and after 

 offering to return him his dollar, if, after 

 reading it a year, he had not gotten his 

 money's worth, or more, he decided to accept 

 the American Bee Journal. 



My bees are still on the summer stands, and 

 have been flying nearly every day this month, 

 though I think it has been detrimental to 

 them. There has been but little brood reared 

 since Sept. 15, and the warm sun has coaxed 

 out a good many bees to perish,

Experience with Honey-Plants, Etc. 



The past two seasons we have grown 

 cleome or Rocky Mountain bee-plant, as it 

 was so highly recommended for bee-food — 

 "fairly overflowing with nectar." We 

 watched faithfully, but could never discover 

 the bees at work upon the plants, nor hover- 

 ing near. We have succeeded in our section, 

 however, in growing great quantities of 

 Scabiosia, or "Mourning Bride," and in the 

 late summer and early fall the bees swarm 

 around the blossoms from morning until late 

 in the evening, and they also seem to revel 

 among the blossoms of the Centaurea, or 

 Bachelor's Button, and Summer Savory. 



We had a real flght the past season with 

 the moth-millers — they never were so numer- 

 ous, t)ne colony was entirely destroyed in 

 spite of our watchfulness. After opening a 

 hive and destroying great numbers, in a few 

 days they were all through the hive again. 

 The robbers were also at work — bees killed 

 and honey taken. How can we manage to 

 save our "bees from these pests '.

Wintering Bees in Chaff Hives. 



Bees in this locality went into winter quar- 

 ters with ample stores to last them until 

 honey comes again next year. The weather 

 has been very flne the last week, thereby en- 

 aljling the bees to have good flights, and to 

 reach the watering-places. Some three or 

 four days ago I noticed dandelions still in 

 bloom. I am wintering a part of my apiary 

 in chaff hives, with the upper story packed 

 with chaff over the frames, and leaves on the 

 chaff. Another portion is in the single-walled 

 Simplicity hives, with tarred paper packed 

 clear around and over them, leaving the en- 

 trance so that the bees can get out when 

 necessary. The tarred paper will keep off the 

 snow and ruin, and will keep the wind from
