AMERICAN BEE JOURMaU 



least honey since. There are not ten acres 

 of white clover in this township. I took 39 

 colonies six miles to the north where there 

 are some fields of mustard ; they may get a 

 living until the sweet clover comes into 

 bloom. 



To-day it looks the most discouraging I 

 ever saw it. The corn was all frozen 

 down, potatoes also ; to-day it is hot and 

 dry — everything drying up. Pastures are 

 in very bad condition. White clover was 

 all killed last fall by the drouth. If my 

 bees can only get honey to go through the 

 winter, I will be satisfied. We must have 

 rain, or we will not raise anything here.

A Splendid Honey-Flow, Etc, 



I am having a splendid honey-flow. I 

 took ofi: honey on May 4th. 



I use bee-entrance guards on all my hives. 

 The bees swarm, but always go back, as 

 the queen cannot get out, and I think it is 

 a good plan. Walter R. Wood.

Bees Doing Well. 



Bees are doing well now, but they have 

 had a hard struggle for life up to a few 

 days ago. Bees died from cold, clustered 

 on the outside of the hives, so my neigh- 

 bors report. I lost none that way. 1 have 

 24 colonies now. D. A. Cadwallader.
