Too Dry for Clover 



Bees are doing poorly. It is very dry here — 

 but little rain for two months. There will be 

 QO clover unless rain comes soon, nor will 

 there be any hay. Henry Allet.

Getting Combs Cleaned of Pollen 



Of the isu colonies of bees packed for win- 

 ter on the summer stands I have 140 left at 

 this date. May 30. In overhauling the combs 

 left by the 40 colonies of dead bees, I found 

 many that were so full of pollen as to make 

 them useless for brood-rearing or storing 

 honey. When this discovery was made I 

 searched the old files of bee-papers to find 

 what Mr. Doolittle does with such combs. 

 Since reading what he says on the subject I 

 have found, by accident, a wholesale way of 

 getting the combs cleared of pollen with but 

 very little trouble. 



Last sumtuer a colony of bees became 

 queenless, but I did not know it until I began 

 packing them for winter. Then I found a 

 good-sized colony with combs almost wholly 

 filled with pollen, and was puzzled to know 

 what disposition to make of the bees and 

 combs. I tiually concluded to place a strong 

 eolong with plenty of honey and a laying 

 queen on lup of the hive containing the 

 queenless bees. They wintered well together 

 and now make a strong colony for summer
