Honey Crop Almost a Failure. 



The past year's honey crop has been almost 

 a failure. I started with S9 colonies, increased 

 to 41, and secured about 350 pounds of comb 

 honey. The prospect for next year is very 

 poor on account of the severe drouth last 

 fall. My bees are mostly in good condition 

 for winter. Jacob Seibold.

Doing Well with the Bees. 



I have kept bees for two years, and have 

 done very well with them. In 1903 my crop 

 was 289 pounds of comb honey from 3 colo- 

 nies, and in 1904 I harvested 333 pounds from 

 7 colonies. The past season was not a very 

 good one in this section of the country.

Past Season a Reeopd-Bpeakep— 

 Bee-Stings for Rheumatism. 



I began last spring with b colonies of bees. 

 I lost 6 last winter from starvation. The sea- 

 son of 1903 was the worst we have had in 22 

 years, for bees generally get enough to live 

 on and give their keeper about 35 pounds per 

 colony. The past season was our record- 

 breaker, which comes every 13 or 14 years. 

 Everything had honey in it. I think it is 

 because the summer was hot and dry, and the 

 rest of the years were cold and wet. I got (533 

 pounds of comb honey, and one of my neigh-
