FROM MANY FIELDS 



] 



White Clover a Big Crop. 



My Ifees are doing well. While clover is a 

 Ijig crop here, and sois basswood bloom. I 

 have SI colonies, old and new. and it makes 

 me a lot of work. Elisha Bailey.

WoFkinpr on Red Clover Leaves. 



For about ten days my bees have been bring- 

 ing in honey from the second crop of red 

 clover; now this is nothing remarkable, for I 

 have seen them doing so for more than '20 

 years past; but recently, passing through a 

 field of clover in Ijloom, I stopped to watch 

 them and to my surprise I fodind them work- 

 ing not on the blossoms i"(( on the leaivs. This, 

 I confess, I had never seen before. On closer 

 examination I found the clover leaves covered 

 with small plant-lice, and the under leaves 

 covered with honey-dew (so-called), very 

 similar to that found frequently on the leaves 

 of the hicltory, oak and other trees, though 

 the honey is not so dark colored as from the 

 leaves of trees. 



Now this is something new to me. Have 

 any of the readers ot the American Bee .Jour- 

 nal observed the same ? Not one bee was 

 working on the blossoms, and will not, I sup- 

 pose, as long as the secretion continues, as it 

 is more abundant and more easily obtained.

Relies on the Buckwheat. 



The weather is, and has been, very unfav- 

 orable here throughout the season, and it is a 

 wonder to me that our bees have done as well 

 as they have. We will have a little honey, 

 anyhow, but I rely more on the buckwheat 

 than on anything else for surplus and winter 

 stores. Friedemann Greiner.

White Mulberries for Bees. 



Having mentioned the subject of white mul- 

 berries in previous numbers of the American 

 Bee Journal, I wish briefly to reiterate my 

 confidence in the fruit as a remarkable honey- 

 producing bee-food. My third year's practi- 

 cal observation more strongly convinces me of 

 its great utility. Those who do not avail 

 themselves ot the hints before given regard- 

 ing this very valuable tree stand greatly In 

 their light. Suspicion of personal gain— that
