Pillinsr tlie Sec(ion!« Rapidly. 



The bees are filliug the surplus sections 

 at a very rapid rate. The white clover is 

 plentiful, and the farmers have sowed lots 

 of buckwheat, so I look for a large honey- 

 flow. My bees did their first swarming on 

 June 35. Good weather favored us about 

 June 16, and still continues. When it 

 rained it was in the night, and the bees 

 have lost no time. H. C. Fakxim.

No I^arffe Honey Crop. 



The houey flow seems somewhat limited. 

 There will not be a big crop this year. My 

 bees swarmed not to exceed one fifth, and 

 new swarms will not store much surplus.

Small Crop ot Honey. 



The honey crop is not going to be as 

 large as I expected, and, as far as I can see, 

 it is so all over the county, on account of 

 very bad weather the forepart of June, and 

 a few days of extremely hot weather.

I>e:i«l Brood. 



My bees are in a very poor condition. 

 The dead brood in the combs is of a yellow- 

 ish and darker color. When they dry down 

 at the bottom of the cells, the bees carrj' 

 them out ; but some do not di-y down to 

 the bottom — they make a thin scale about 

 half way down. Occasionally there is one 

 that is a little stringy. The disease would 

 sometimes disappear, and in a few weeks it 

 would re appear. Will some one tell me 

 what is wrong with them i

Harrison, Kans., July 23, 1890. 



[If it were the so-called foul brood fully 

 developed, the offensive stench accompany- 

 ing it would be unmistakable, and the 

 cappiugs would be sunken, and have a 

 small hole in them. Phenol is the most 

 relialile remedy for the early stages of foul 

 brood. When it is fully developed, fire is 

 the only tiling to be recommended for the 

 whole outfit— hives, frames, bees and all.—

i%o Honey in Wlilte Clover. 



The houe.v season is over in this locality 

 (Western Pennsylvania), and, like many 

 others, I have to say that it was a failure. 

 About one-fourth of a crop of hoaev has 

 beeusecuredbytho.se who managed their 

 bees fairly well, and those who are not so 

 well versed in bee-literature, much less, 

 and some none at all ; that is, so far as I 

 have heard, and I have made some inquiry. 

 This all took place amidst a sea of white 

 clover, too. I never saw so much white 

 clover before in my life. The fields were 

 white in every direction, and j'et no sur- 

 plus honey I I assign two causes for the 

 failure— first, there was no bloom until 

 white clover came, and consequently the 

 bees made no preparation to swarm "until 

 then, and it took place in the midst of the 

 clover bloom ; and, second, there Avas no 

 honey in the last part of the clover bloom. 

 We never knew it to fail to secrete honey 

 before in this locality. I am selling my 

 honey at 20 cents per pound. I have tested 

 the bee-escape, and found it a success. I 

 have invented one with a single bee space 



and cones, that works just as well, and, I 

 think, better. I consider the bee-escape a 

 very good invention. Osman M'Cauty.
