He knew nothing about bees, but had 

 heard if he whistled they would not 

 sting- him, so he commenced to whistle 

 and drove his oxen slowly home, took 

 off the neck-yoke and laid it down be- 

 fore a box, and the bees went in. At 

 the present time he has 15 or 20 colo- 

 nies in box-hives, but gets no honey, 

 except late in the fall he brimstones 

 one of his colonies.

Poop Year for Bees. 



This has been a poor year for bees 

 in this part of the country. I increast 

 from one colony to three with no sur- 

 plus, and have had to feed for winter 

 stores. Bee-keeping seems to be up- 

 hill business with me, having had two 

 hard years to start with. T. BlSER.

Very Little Honey This Year. 



My bees have done very poorly this 

 year — almost as poor as in 1892 when 

 I got no honey at all. This year I had 

 a very little honey, and did not need 

 to feed them. Joseph Hkntrich. 



Grant Co., Wis., Oct. 17. 



Poorest Season of All. 



This has been the poorest season for 

 honey that we ever experienced. In 

 the spring — the latter part of May and 

 the first of June — we had a very good 

 honey-fiow which lasted about 10 days. 

 We had no more to speak of until 

 about July 20, when we had a light 

 How from alfalfa and sweet clover. 



This county averaged about IS or 18 

 pounds surplus to the colony. I have 

 240 colonies, from which I secured 

 5,700 pounds. 



We have foul brood in the southern 

 part of the county.

Some Very Important Questions. 



There is an old adage which says 

 that "He who works without tools is 

 twice tired," and there is also a well- 

 understood condition among business 

 men which makes the doer an undesir- 

 able credit risk, known as " doing too 

 much business for his capital." I be- 

 lieve these sayings aptly fit a large 

 number of the bee-keepers of this 

 country. Take an inventory of your 

 own plant, study the files of the api- 

 cultural press and see how often it is a
