THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



August 



gone so quickly, and happened to look 

 down the hill and there the}' were. 1 

 ran down as fast as I could, and 

 there they were trying to get into an 

 old hive, and surely enough they fin- 

 ally swarmed in. I brought them 

 back, but I do not know how they 

 managed to stay in as it took them 

 two or three days to clean it out. All 

 our bees are doing well now. We 

 have taken off some honey alreadj'. I 

 love to watch the bees, and do so 

 hours at a time when 1 have the op- 

 portunity, and especially when there 

 is a heavy storm coming up. If I 

 was a very good writer I would tr}' to 

 write a histor}' about bees. 



Yours respectfully,

Editor Am. Bee Keeper. — Dear 

 Sir: Thought perhaps jon would like 

 a few lines from this locality. The 

 bees around here during May and 

 June did nothing on account of the 

 severe drought during May, and the 



late frosts wriich destro3'ed nearly all 

 the flowers. Some of my neighbors 

 lost about all their bees during June 

 b}' starvation. The linden or bass- 

 wood blossoms were injured to a large 

 extent by the frost, and just at pres- 

 ent it does not promise to be a very 

 bountiful year for honey. 



Y'ours truly, G. W. K. 

 Ursina, Pa. 



The W. T. Falconer Mf'g Co. — 

 Gentlemen: Your letter enclosing 

 draft for $7.72 was duly received. 

 Am sorr}' I put j^ou to so much 

 trouble. -^ '^ '^'^ * I did not 

 weigh the wax as my best scales are 

 under a hive in the apiary for the 

 summer. The bees are barely hold- 

 ing their own, and no chance for bass- 

 wood. Whenever I ship anything or 

 order anything from you, remember 

 1 leave the weighing and counting to 

 you , as 1 have the utmost confidence 

 in your house to do what is right, and 

 your goods are always as nice as hu- 

 man ingenuity can produce. 



Yours truly, Chas. Penton. 



East Aurora, N. Y. 



The W. T. Falconer Mf'g Co. — 

 Gentlemen: The supplies you sent me 

 are very fine. The sections and foun- 

 dation can't be beat. When I want 

 more 1 shall send to you. The Bing- 

 ham smoker works nicely. It is a 

 very poor season here so far, and very 

 little honey has been made yet. 

 Yours respectfully, 



Hiram K. Burroughs.
