GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



BUSINESS^- 



ANAGKR 



CARLOAD SHIPMENTS. 



We bave sent a carload to Syracuse, another to 

 St. Paul, since last report, and also a fifth for the 

 season, to Jos, Nysewander, Des Moines, Iowa. 



BUSINESS AT THIS DATE. 



We did not run on 9 hours a day more than about 

 a week belore we had to increase to several hours 

 over time in the sectioii-liox department in order to 

 keep pace with ordeis. Tlie prospect of a bountiful 

 honey crop in very many localities reporting' is very 

 flattering where there were bees in condition to 

 gatlier it. UnfortunHtely the repeated poor seasons 

 lor three or four consecutive years have discourag- 

 ed many so that their bees have eitlier all died off 

 or are in such poor condition as to be unprepared 

 for the bouutiiul honey harvest they might have 

 secured this year had they been ready for it. The 

 call for section boxes has been almost unprecedent- 

 ed. During the 9 months since Oct. 1, 189.5, we have 

 made eight million sections, which is equal to the 

 total output for the ^^ hole year previous. We have 

 made about one and a quarter million so far during 

 June, up to to-day, the 26lh.
