Bees came out of the cellar in fine 

 condition. I brought them out April 6, 

 and they were gathering pollen in a few 

 hours. I have not fed any. My first 

 swarm came May 26. The indications 

 are good for a big honey crop. 



There is scarcely a question but Ital- 

 ians will care for themselves against 

 moths. Blacks, unless very strong, will 

 let the moths get the upper hand of 

 them, unless the apiarist is constantly 

 fighting the moths. Ed Goodrich.

Bees Treed by a Fox-Hound. 



Anderson Kemp — one of our best and 

 most reliable citizens — tells me that 

 while his wife was hoeing in the garden 

 a swarm of bees appeared, and she hol- 

 lowed to her husband to come, when a 

 hound lying in the yard came upon the 

 scene, and took after the bees, chased 

 them % of a mile, and treed them in an 

 oak, and barked at the tree until Mr. 

 Kemp arrived. Geo. Poindextee.

Early Honey-Flow in Wisconsin. 



This season the honey-flow commenced 

 the earliest of any in ray memory, in 

 this locality. Every strong colony has 

 its supers chock-full of honey (full-size 

 extracting supers), and the hives are 

 boiling over with bees. I am about the 

 only farmer for miles around that has 

 any bees left, almost every bee having 

 died the last two winters. I use the 8- 

 frame dovetail hive, which has given me 

 good satisfaction. Samuel Ellefs. 



Oregon, Wis., .Tune 8. 



Prospects Good. 



The prospects here this season are 

 good, or at least the best they have been 

 for two years. There has been plenty of 

 rainfall to make things boom around 

 here. I hear that some of my neighbors 

 are losing some of their swarms. I had 

 one of the nicest swarms June 6 I ever 

 hived. My wife had them on a plum 

 tree when I came home for dinner. 



I could not be a bee-keeper without

Blooming Prairie, Minn., June 8. 



Report from Maryland. 



I don't expect any honey this season. 

 We passed through one of the worst 

 drouths in the spring for 25 years, 

 mostly in Washington and Frederick 

 counties. It was awfully dry last fall 

 and winter until in January. I was 

 talking last week to Mr. Samuel Valen- 

 tine, of Hagerstown, who says his bees 

 are not more than making a living, and 

 his crop was over 7,(J00 pounds from 

 about 200 colonies last year. It was 

 cool last week and week before, so the 

 bees could not do anything, but the 

 drouth was broken on June 6, with an 

 awful rain, which 'mostwashed us away. 



I sowed lJ-4 acres of buckwheat, and 

 y^ acre of mustard, on June 5, and will 

 sow more after I get my wheat har- 

 vested and hauled into the barn, about 

 the first of .July. I am not discouraged 

 in the least, although I put a little over 

 •SlOO into bees and supplies. Farmers 

 are not very easily discouraged, for they

 Simply this— they cap their honey white like
