 Under the heading of bees I found 

 <3uite a list of books, most of which I 

 was satisfied were worthless in a large 

 measure. A. I. Root's publications 

 were, of course, ignored. No mention 

 was made of " Langstroth on the 

 Honey-Bee", nor of Prof. A. J. Cook's 

 "Manual ", etc. I asked the compiler 

 why a book or two from a bee-keeper's 

 library was not put in, but my ques- 

 tion was ignored. H. H. MoE.

White Clover— Golden Italians- 

 Shipping Queens. 



My report for 1904 is about 8S0 

 pounds of honey-dew and 1050 pounds 

 of fall honey, all extracted from 34 

 colonies, spring count. 



I am afraid bees will not winter well 

 on account of honey-dew being left in 

 the hives for winter stores. 



The prospects for white clover honey 

 are not very promising. We have had 

 an unusually dry fall, and I am afraid 

 the white clover is much damaged. 

 There is about 4 or 5 inches of snow 

 now, and it remains to be seen whether 

 or not it will benefit the clover. 



During the past summer a good deal 

 was said about the merits of golden 

 Italians, and somebody asked for the 

 experiences of those who had them. I 

 have kept them since they were first 

 advertised, and nearly all of mine are 

 of that strain. In 1903 my 33 colonies, 

 spring count, produced 8360 pounds of 

 honey, mostly extracted, or an average 

 of 253 pounds per colony. I would like
