prospect for next year is fine, as we had plenty 

 of rain during the latter part of the season, 

 and wliite clover got a good start. 



AVhile feeding my pigs early one morning 

 in a timber lot, I noticed several fine plants of 

 figwort. A bee hovered over one of the plants, 

 and after awhile it settled on a blossom and re- 

 mained there a long time, then selected an- 

 other, and another, and at the third blossom 

 it got a full load and started off for home, I 

 broke off a twig, and opened some of the 

 flowers and found what lookt like a drop of 

 rain-water in it. It was only the flowers that 

 had opened during the night that showed so. 

 much nectar. 



An acre of figwort with all the blossoms 

 filled like that, would keep several colonies of 

 lieesbusy, Fked Bechlt.

Well Supplied with Stores. 



Bees did fairly well here this season. They 

 are well supplied with winter stores, and are 

 flying a little every day. W. H. Hough.

Bees Didn't Do Much. 



My i>ecs did not do nuidi this year. I se- 

 cured only about 400 pounds of surplus honey 

 from 35 colonies. 



I was in Chicago during the encampment of 

 the tirand Army, but was taken sick while 

 there and was unable to attend the National 

 convention of bee-keepers, 



I like the Bee .Journal very much,

Prospect for Honey Next Year. 



With other liles.siugs we have rain to be 

 tliankful for, which means a prospect for 

 honey the coming season. I have 112 colonies 

 of bees in good condition.

Poor Season -No Increase. 



Bees did poorly here this season, I had 256 

 colonies last spring, aud diilnot increase any. 

 1 secured only about 1.500 pounds of comb 

 honey and 2.500 pounds of extracted. Bees are 

 in fine condititm for winter.

Results of the Season of 1900. 



We have taken about !K)0 pounds from oyer 

 15 colonies this season, and sold it all at 25 

 cents — both comb and extracted — right here 

 in town, and there were others selling theirs 

 for less. too. The extracted sold more readily 

 than comb, as soon as people began to find 

 out that it was real^ trite honey. We tasted 

 each comb before extracting, and saved all
