Bees Did Fairly Well. 



My bees did fairly vfe\l this season. I had 

 four colonies last year, and by chance increast 

 to 28 this spring, a friend of mine offering me 

 liis -whole apiary at a bargain. With my little 

 experience, the " A B C of Bee-Cultnre," the 

 American Bee Journal, and my good wife, I 

 managed it very well. I devote all my time 

 outside of the shop to my bees and a good- 

 sized garden. AVe had only five swarms, and 

 secured 1'200 pounds of sweet clover comb 

 honey, but had a lot of partly-fliled sections 

 left. 



On account of no rain the clover crop was 

 cut short, and the bucliwheat crop Was a com- 

 plete failure. 



I sold five colonies, and put 28 into winter 

 quarters with plenty of stores.

An Old Bee-Keeper. 



I have taken tlic Bee .lournal ever since it 

 was fii'st publisht, and should feel lost without 

 it. have owned bees and kept them ever 

 since I was 1-1 years old, and I earned the 

 money that I bought them witli by dropping 



corn. 



I will be 78 years old if I live until the 12th 

 of next May. If there are any readers of the 

 American Bee .Journal that have been contin- 

 uously in the bee-business longer than I have, 

 I should like to have tliem say so thru the 

 Journal. 



I was sorry that I was not alile to attend tlie 

 National convention, but I have very much 

 enjoyed reading tlie proceedings.

UnsatisfaetopySeason— Kind Words 



The past season was rather unsatisfactory, 

 tho it started in with the promise of a fair 

 yield of honey. But first too dry, then too 

 wet weather cut the yield short about one- 

 half, tho I managed to secure a little over 800 

 pounds of section honey from 25 colonies, 

 spring count, and an increase of 11 colonies. 

 One peculiar thing about the swarms that I 

 never experienced before, was that they pro- 

 duced very little surplus, only two supers 

 from the 11 swarms. They were large swarms 

 too, and came out early, before June 20th. 

 One old colony that did not cast a swarm pro- 

 duced 83 well-filled sections. 



As my health is too poor to do much else I 

 seem to become more and more attacht to bee- 

 keeping and the American Bee Journal, and 

 intend to keep right on with both as long as 

 possible. 



I have been very much interested in the re- 

 port of the National convention held in Chi-
