A description of the book here is quit^ unnec- 

 essary — it is simply the most complete scientific 

 and practical bee-book publisht to-day. Fully 

 illustrated, and all written in the most fascinat- 

 ing^ style. The author is also too well-k^iown to 

 the whole bee-world to require any introduction. 

 No bee-keeper is luUj' equipt, or his library 

 complete, without The Bee-Keepers' Guide.

 mag^nificent book of 460 pag-es, in neat and sub- 

 stantial cloth binding-, we propose to GIVE away

 ting NEW subscribers for the American Bee 

 Journal.

Fall Honey Coming Lively. 



The fall honey crop is now coming 

 at a lively rate. A hive on the scales 

 showed a gain of l(i'2 pounds one day 

 last week, and 29 pounds for 5 consecu- 

 tive days. If it holds warm we seem 

 likely to get a record-breaker from 

 goldenrod. H. D. Burrell.

Another Poof Honey Season. 



Our bees have done poorl)'. We have 

 taken only about 200 pounds from 29 

 colonies, spring count, and will get but 

 little more at the end of the season. 

 They made a good start in the early 

 spring and built up finely, and have 

 gathered just enough honey to keep in 

 good condition to take advantage of a 

 harvest should it come. And why it 

 has not come cannot be stated by this 

 deponent. We have had no severe 

 drouth nor excess of rain ; all kinds of 

 vegetation have grown luxuriantly.

Bees Scraping— Best Season. 



I see on page 569 a question and an- 

 swer in regard to bees scraping the 

 alighting-board of the hive, near the 

 entrance. I have noticed this same 

 thing many times, and think that when 

 they do this they are perfectly con- 

 tented with their home ; that is, they 

 have no notion of swarming. Did any 

 one ever know of a colony casting a 

 swarm while this was in progress ? If 

 so, I would like to hear of it. 



This has been the best season for 

 honev with us since I have been in the

FOR HOMESEEKERS. 



The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul 

 R'y will sell regular Homeseekers' Ex- 

 cursion tickets to all points in South 

 Dakota, at one fare plus $2.00 for the- 

 round trip, on Sept. 18 and Oct. 2, 1900. 

 This will enable parties to visit the 

 Corn Belt Exposition to be held in 

 Mitchell, S. D., Sept. 26 to Oct. 4, 1900, 

 inclusive. This exposition is held to 

 demonstrate the great agricultural re- 

 sources, wealth and possibilities of 

 this thriving State. The exposition is 

 held in a gorgeously decorated corn- 

 palace, which for beauty can hardly 

 be excelled anywhere by a building of 

 a temporarj' nature. There are thou- 

 sands of acres of cheap lands left in 

 South Dakota that will, under the 

 present conditions in that State rapidly 

 increase in price, and the holding of 

 this corn-palace with its many attrac- 

 tions, that both amuse and instruct,, 

 should be an opportunity that all land 

 and investment seekers should em- 

 brace.

 ticket agent of the Chicago, Milwau- 

 kee & St. Paul R'y, or address Geo. H^
