UeeKeepiujs: in Connecticut. 



I see no reports from bee-keepers in this 

 State ; I think that the reason is, they have 

 nothing favorable to report I do not 

 think that bees ever went through the win- 

 ter with so little loss — the weather was so 

 mild, that they flew a great deal. The 

 consequence was, they consumed all their 

 stores, and, on May 1, they were in a 

 starving condition, and there was so much 

 cold and stormy weather that they scarcely 

 held their own, up to June 20. I lost one 

 colony by starvation. The consequence is, 

 there is very little increase. I bad only 10 

 swarms from 43 colonies — about one-half 

 of what I had from 17 colonies last year. 

 Many of the bee-keepers in this vicinity, 

 that had from 5 to 10 colonies, had no 

 swarms. 



There has been p?enty of white clover, 

 but the bees did not seem to gather much 

 honey. They have been idle, staying on 

 the outside of the hives, and had the ap- 

 pearance of swarming, for more than a 

 month. They are not on the outside as 

 much now. I do not know whether they 

 have gone to work or not. I prevailed on 

 inj- neighbors, by furnishing the seed, to 

 sow seven or eight acres of buckwheat. I 

 suppose that the bees have just commenced 

 work on it. Perhaps with the buckwheat 

 blossoms and fall flowers, they may obtain 

 a sufficient supply for the coming winter.

Cilobe Bee-Veils. — Here are two 

 letters received— from two of our corres- 

 pondents, and are about like scores of others, 

 showing how the Globe Veils suit those 

 who have them. Not one objection has 

 ever yet been received : 



Send me two more Globe Bee-Veils for 

 my neighbors. I like mine very much. — 

 J. B. DuNLAP, Rochester, Ind., July 17, 

 1890. 



The two Globe Bee-Veils came by return 

 mail. Thanks for promptness. I find them 

 just as neat and clean as new (the soiling 

 is so slight). They are indeed sure protec- 

 tion against bee-stings, mosquitoes, etc. — 

 JohnHager, Jr., Arabi, La., July 16, 1890.
