Some Honey in San Diego Co., Calif. 



Up to May 4th we had the best pros- 

 pect for another season of feeding- the 

 bees that we ever had ; but the heavy 

 rains of the 4th and Sth workt wonders 

 for the bee-men, and, in place of starv- 

 ing- bees, most apiaries have produced 

 a considerable surplus, and those most 

 favorably located a fair crop. The 

 orange groves in this section came out 

 in full bloom in June — about 3 months 

 later than the usual time — and bees lo- 

 cated near them secured a fair crop of 

 that very fine flavored honey. The 

 atmospheric conditions for the secre- 

 tion of nectar have been favorable, and 

 bees are still storing some surplus. My 

 own bees have heavier stores, and are 

 in better condition for winter, than for 

 the past 3 years ; and, besides, I have 

 saved one solid frame of honey for each 

 colony next spring, in the time "be- 

 tween hay and grass."

Fears Colonies Short of Stores. 



Bee-keepers in this district lost 

 heavily last winter. My loss was none. 

 Some of them are beginning to realize 

 that success does not depend upon luck. 

 They have kept me quite busy rearing 

 queens and Italianizing their bees for 

 them. The fall flow from goldenrod 

 and asters failed last fall, bees quit 

 breeding very early, and where feeding 

 was neglected, the bees went into win- 

 ter quarters short of stores, and with 

 nothing but a lot of old bees that were 

 ready to die when the first cold snap
