Next Year the Honey-Year. 



Nov. 4th my Iieos were working some 

 on red clover, and also carrying in 

 pollen from a few other plants. This 

 has been another poor season for us, 

 yet my honey-bees put up from 75 to 

 nearly 100 pounds of comb per colony. 

 Everywhere in this locality white 

 clover is well started, and if it holds 

 its own it should make a big crop of 

 honey next year. We get a good crop 

 here about every 4 years. Next year 

 will be our honey-year, according to 

 time. D. J. Blochbr.

Not Much Honey, but Well Sold. 



We did not get very much honey this 

 year. I have sold all of my No. 1 white 

 honey for 14 cents cash, in the home 

 market, while some of the bee-keepers 

 here sold as low as 10 cents, so I can 

 afford to pay up for the Bee Journal 

 and still have some profit left. My 

 bees are in fine shape for winter, and I 

 am looking for a better honey-flow 

 next year. Success to the American 

 Bee Journal. D. A. Holeman.

A Letter from Mrs. L. Harrison. 



We commenced keeping bees by pur- 

 chasing two colonies of Adam Grimm, 

 of Wisconsin, in 1872. The first year 

 we increast to four, but secured no sur- 

 plus honey — the colonies had an abun- 

 dant supply for winter stores — and 

 were strong the following spring. 



Since the second season, we have not 

 been one dav without honey. Almost 

 every j'ear during the first score of 

 years that we engaged in bee-keeping, 

 honey was so abundant that it was dif- 

 ficult to find a market for it ; but dur- 

 ing the last 10, there has been but a 

 small amount of surplus stored in this 

 locality. We've never had to feed our 

 bees for winter, and always had a few 

 pounds of surplus. I'm puzzled to know 

 why this lack of nectar. The past sea- 

 son there was abundant bloom from 

 white clover and melilotus, both the 

 white and yellow varieties. The white 

 sweet clover is covered with bloom 

 now (Nov. 5). There has not been suffi- 

 cient frost to kill tomato-vines. I've 

 never known an autumn when bees did
