carried it out where the queen took 

 flight. The bees in the cage might have 

 flown away if they had been disposed, 

 but they stuck to the cage. In a few 

 minutes the queen returned, and lit on 

 the cage, when I caught her again, and 

 this time I carried her to the box. 



This is the first time I have tried to 

 handle a queen. After this I think I 

 will be more careful, as I do not believe 

 that queens will always come back to 

 my hands after they have once made 

 their escape. 



We are just at the end of more than a 

 week of rainy weather. This isthe first

 Monday. The prospect is good for a 

 good deal of white clover bloom this sea-

Good Honey Crop Promised. 



Bees have wintered well in this sec- 

 tion, and a good honey crop is promised 

 for this year. F. G. Wilke.

Honey Outlook Not Promising. 



The honey outlook here is not promis- 

 ing. One may, however, learn something 

 from a paper like the American Bee 

 Journal in times of failure as well as in 

 times of success. Bbcno Nickel.

Bees Booming'. 



Bees are just booming here now. I 

 expect to get over 100 pounds to the 

 colony, spring count. Linden and sour- 

 wood, and also sumac, are to bloom yet. 

 I will probably report when the season 

 is over. A. Carder. 



Tracy City, Tenn.. May 29. 



A Successful Season Expected. 



Bees have not done anything here for 

 the last two years. I have 20 colonies, 

 wintered the best that I ever had any in 

 the cellar, with empty supers on the 

 hive, and only a board cover over them. 

 They are booming now, having just be- 

 gun to work on white clover. I am look- 

 ing for better success this year.
