not fill the lower stories of hives with 

 honey. 



Some writers tell of the sweetness of 

 the ground this year — how sweet the 

 corn and beets are. We thought differ- 

 ently, and often spoke of it. 



Any one who wants to keep the bees 

 from swarming, can do so by moving 

 them to this locality. 



Our bees have not swarmed enough 

 to occupy the hives from winter losses 

 for a decade. When we were kept busy 

 hiving swarms we had plenty of honey 

 — and such honey ! The comb was so 

 tender and delicate as to be scarcely 

 discernible. Mrs. h. Harrison. 



Peoria Co., 111. 



"Lost Swarms." 



Afterthought, in his guess on page 

 634, respecting the problem he refers to 

 on page SSS, is as wide of the mark as 

 one could well be. This particular col- 

 ony had been carefully watcht, as it 

 was expected to swarm at any time, 

 and an examination was given it just 

 before the owner went in to dinner. 

 The weather had been unpropitious 

 for a day or two, and no swarm had 

 emerged. 



Now, my theory is, that the young 

 queen had emerged from the cell some 

 time during this unfavorable weather, 

 but had not, for some reason, met the 

 old queen, and that when the swarm 

 came out, she, as well as the old queen, 

 came out also. The old crippled queen 

 crawled back into the hive, and the 

 young queeti went off with the swarm, 

 which " was as easy as rolling off a 

 log." • Wm. M. Whitney.

An Old New Subscriber. 



I have been a subscriber to the 

 American Bee Journal before, and only 

 left off because my bees failed to pay 

 expenses. I have now 29 colonies of 

 as nice Italians as you read about. 

 They produced this past season 300 

 pounds of comb and extracted honey, 

 and I sold $24 worth at 10 and 12'; 

 cents. Some years we get nothing and 

 often next to nothing. The past sea-
