enough, on May 26, to cover 48 frames 

 — 32 full-depth, and 16 half-depth 

 frames — because on this date all the 

 brood and eggs were out in the 16- 

 frame nucleus. 



May 28 the artificial swarms had 

 quite a notable field-force of two-days- 

 old bees storing- honey. 



The 16- frame nuclei with fine young 

 queens and several frames of brood 

 and eggs, and honey stored in surplus 

 supers, are very promising. 



The aforesaid queen, when 3 years 

 younger, occupying the same kind of 

 iiive, and in the same house, managed 

 bj- the ordinary methods, failed to have 

 a field-force sufficiently strong to store 

 surplus from the above-mentioned 

 earl5' sources. Whereas, by our present 

 system, she gives us 53 pounds of ex- 

 tracted honey and a 16-frame nucleus 

 with honey stored in the super by the 

 first of June. While she is, by a few 

 pounds of honey, ahead of other colo- 

 nies, yet she is behind some in brood- 

 rearing. B. J. Chrysostom.

A Report— Alsike Clover, Etc. 



My bees went thru the past winter 

 without the loss of a single colony, but 

 two were robbed this spring. I put 

 them in the cellar Dec. 3, aud took 

 thein out April 5 ; the next day they 

 were working on soft maple bloom. 

 They built up very fast on willow and 

 fruit-bloom, and 2 weeks ago I found a 

 number of covers filled with honey 

 where the boards had been left off. 



Bees all about here are strong in 

 numbers, and if the fields produce the 

 material the prospect is encouraging 

 for a good crop of honey. 



White clover bloom is in full blast — 

 10 or 12 days earlier than usual — and 

 the bees are right after it — a proof that 

 it is yielding honey better than for 2 

 or 3 years ; but the crop that has never
