Wliite Clover and Bas!«n'ood. 



— J. W. Collins, C'hirksville, Mo., on 

 June 4, 1889, writes : 



I began the season with 40 colonies, 

 and have increased them to GS. I have 

 sold a few j)oun(ls of white elover 

 honey at 13 cents per pound. I think 

 that the price is low and so I will hold 

 my honey for better prices. The out- 

 look here is fine. White clover has 

 been in full bloom for two or three 

 weeks, and the highways, b3"ways and 

 hedges are just white with clover, also 

 the pastures anil fields. Basswood will 

 be in bloom in about ten days, and 

 with the abundance of it together with 

 clover, we bee-keepers are, or ouglit 

 to be, happy. 



Very Ciood Honey-Yield — D. 



R. Fox, M. D., Jesuit's Bend, La., on 

 June 18, 1889, writes : 



The honey-yield of this portion of 

 the parish has been very good this 

 year, owing to the low stage of the 

 Mississippi river. There has been 

 scarcely any rice planted, consequently 

 the white clover and wild flowers 

 have been quite abundant. I extracted 

 from about 90 colonies of bees, 275 

 gallons of orange-flower and white 

 clover honey, during the month of 

 April ; and my hives are full again, 

 mostly of white clover honey. I will 

 get 280 or 300 gallons of honey during 

 this month. 



Large Crop Expeeted. — The 



" Moriah Center Mill-Company," of 

 Moriah Center, N.Y., on June 20, write: 



It has been verj- wet for the last 

 week, but the bees are doing well now 

 — the}' are swarming and storing honey 

 in the sections. There are not a great 

 manj- bees in this vicinity. Three- 

 fourths of all the bees in this locality 

 were lost one year ago this spring. 

 The prospects are good for a large 

 honey crop, if the weather is favorable. 



Ripening Honey by Solar 

 Heat. — Fayette Lee, Cokato, Minn., 

 on June 20, 1889, writes : 



Last summer I extracted some verj- 

 thin honey, and put it into glass jars, 

 which 1 then put in the sunshine ; in 

 three days the honey was thick and 

 veiy nice, and the flavor was gooil. 

 The jars must be so that the air can 

 get in. The heat of the sun was from 

 95^ to 110- I believe that every bee- 

 keeper could make a tank about 4 

 inches deep, as large as desired, and 

 cover it with glass, to ripen the 

 honey that way. and keep the bees 

 strong. Trv it and see.
