 be left unplowed. 



Fruit put up uncookt in honey 

 always sours for me. I have tried it 

 several times. Possibly if the fruit 

 could be cookt and the honey poured 

 into it and just brought to a scald, and 

 then canned, it would not injure the 

 taste of the honey very much, and 

 would keep. Peaches are better sweet- 

 ened with honey than sugar before 

 canning. Mrs. L. C. Axtell.

Slow Sealing of Honey— Sweet Clovep 

 in Mississippi. 



I have taken very little honey so far. 

 My bees are mostly in three stories, 

 two of which are filled with brood and 

 honey, but they don't seem to be in 

 any hurry about sealing the honey. I 

 rather fear I have been rearing bees at 

 the expense of honey. I would like to 

 ask Dr. Miller whether I am allowing 

 them too much liberty, or whether I 

 should have confined the queens to one 

 story by excluders. 



Generally, when I want to learn any- 

 thing about bees. I watch Dr. Miller's 

 department, as some " greenhorn " is 

 sure to ask what I want to know ; but 

 I have watcht in vain for some sure 

 sign to tell when bees are preparing to 

 swarm (some outward sign) without 

 having to pry into their private apart- 

 ments (brood-nest). 



Will Mr. M. M. Baldridge tell us 

 what his experience is with sweet 

 clover in Mississippi? Is it best to 

 sow in the fall or early spring, or will 



any old wet spell do ? I have a road, 

 but little used, about 1'4 miles long, 23 

 feet wide, running thru my place. If 

 I plow this up mud-pike fashion, and 

 sow to sweet clover, would it likel)- cut 

 much of a figure toward the support of 

 100 colonies ? ALBERT VoHGHT.

Not an Encouraging Report. 



Last fall I put my 43 colonies into 

 the cellar, and all came thru the winter 

 in fair condition. They built up fine 

 on the willow bloom, but when apple- 

 blossoms came they died at a fearful 

 rate, so that hardly any but young bees 

 were left ; but they had recovered 

 again when white clover came into 

 bloom, and did some good work until 

 basswood opened, which was loaded 

 with bloom, but the weather clerk was 

 against us, so they had only about two 

 daj's to make use of the basswood — it 

 was too rough and windy. Our only 

 hope now is the king of all — sweet 

 clover — of which we have a great 

 amount, if the people will let it stand 

 long enough to give the bees a chance. 

 I have as yet taken only about 1,000 

 pounds of honey. A. WiCHERTS.

Long Drouth in Minnesota. 



This is a poor season for honey in 

 this vicinity. There was no rain from 

 the first of April to the first of July — 

 dry weather and cool nights, no honey, 

 and bees bred but little. Some bee-
