house and the top of the chimney and re- 

 moved S to 10 pounds of new comb honey and 

 sent the bees out. A board over the chimney- 

 top and holes between the brick lower down 

 made an attractive place. Who has gone

I am carinj^ for 21 colonies, and among 

 them are two that are now ready for their 

 fourth supers, each containing forty ',-inch 

 sections, all from white clover. Neither have 

 swarmed this year. Who can beat that rec- 

 ord! Others run from 50 to SO pounds each, 

 according to strength and swarming fever. 

 Swarms are generally numerous. While I 

 work the bees I have a deputy working the 

 office. M. L. Brewer.

Best Season for White Clover. 



This has been the best season so far for 

 white clover I ever saw. The bees have about 

 trebled themselves. I cannot make hives fast 

 enough to supply the demand. I use 10- 

 frame hives. I have some colonies that have 

 filled two supers, and have two more nearly 

 filled. I began with 13 colonies in the spring; 

 6 of them were in boxes and old American 

 hives. Some of my first swarms have filled 

 one super. 1 had a large swarm to-day from 

 one of my first swarms one month old. I 

 have tried to keep back swarming as much as j 

 I could. Anderson York.

Close Saturdays at 1 p.m. — Our custo- 

 mers and friends will kindly remember that 

 beginning with July 1, for three months we 

 will close our office and bee-supply store at 1 

 p.m. on Saturdays. This is our usual custom. 

 Nearly all other firms here begin the Saturday 

 afternoon closirig with May 1st, but we keep 

 open two months later on account of the local 

 bee-keepers who find it more convenient to 

 call Saturday afternoons for bee-supplies.

Forty Vears Among the Bees, by Dr. 



C. C. Miller.— This book contains 328 pages, 

 is pound in handsome cloth, with gold letters 

 and design ; it is printed on best book-paper, 

 and illustrated with 112 beautiful original

 self. It is uniciue in this regard. The first

 years ago he wrote a small book, called " A 

 Year Among the Bees," but that little work 

 has been out of print for a number of years. 

 While some of the matter used in the former 

 book is found in the new one, it all reads lilie 

 a good new story of successful bee-keeping 

 by one of the masters, and shows in minutest 

 detail just how Dr. Miller does things with 

 bees. Price, .^l.OO.
