iriB that time. New swarms were good and 

 strongand not overdone. Then the weather 

 set in wet and bees stored almost no lioney 

 until Ann. i. wiien from buckwlieat. Spanish- 

 needle and many other nectar yieldini; 

 plants, the best honey flow we have had in 

 three years began and is still on I never 

 saw my bees fill a super as quickly as they 

 have this September, and with showers and 

 warm weather it may last some weeks yet. 



White clover was a failure here this year, 

 on account of the two preceding dry sum- 

 mers, but I look for a good white clover 

 crop here next year, as it is coming on every- 

 where. C. M. Barrick.

Late Flow Good 



Here in northern Indiana the early part of 

 the season was cool and wet. and little 

 honey was gathered. The heartsease, white 

 sweet clover and goldenrod opened late, 

 but now we are having a good flow. Some 

 colonies have added 5 pounds to their 

 weight the last four or five days.

Honey in Spite of Adverse Weather 



With me. this has been a season of con- 

 tinual swarming. First swarm came out 

 late as July 13. but since then my bees have 

 made up for lost time. 1 had 40 colonies, 

 spring count, and now have 70. 



Last July we had 20 rainy days, and Au- 

 gust so far is as bad. yet up to-date I have 

 more honey than at same time last year. In 

 the early part of the season it was cold, 

 cloudy and windy. I had second full-depth 

 supers on 27 days without any work being 

 done in them, when suddenly things went 

 forward with a bound. Chas. Revnders.

Bees in Fine Condition for Winter 



My bees are in fine condition for winter, 

 even at this date I find some unhatched 

 brood. The hives are full of young bees. 



Elroy. Wis.. Oct. 5. Chas. Sheldon. 



Bad Beginning but Good Ending 



The first part of this season was very wet 

 and cold.no honey coming in beyond what 

 was consumed, until the first of July, then 

 we had a fair flow for three weeks. August 

 was cold and bees did nothing. We had a 

 light fall flow in September. I extracted 

 about iiioo pounds from ,« colonies, spring 

 count, and have plenty of stores left for 

 winter. Colonies are strong in bees and 

 brood and have lots of pollen.

Poor Season 



My honey crop this year is a minus quan- 

 tity. I don't think the bees have enough 

 honey to winter on. and I am feeding them 

 some sugar. Geo. E. Capwell.
