Am getting ready for a big honey 

 crop but the prospects are not as good 

 as they were a year ago.

Dear Mr. Townsend : 



Thanks for the two members to the 

 Northern Michigan Association. Heavy 

 frost last night and the night before. 

 Do not know what the damage will be. 

 Will try and get you a report by the 

 20th of each month. Things do not 

 look very good right now. 



Ira D. Bartlett, Sec. 



If I had been a good bee-keeper with 

 plenty of bees, I could have done well 

 here this spring. It was the best 

 spring I ever knew, an-J the flow is not 

 over yet. I took 315 pounds from four 

 colonies today of very good honey for 

 this location. It is mostlv white clover

 Editor Review : 



Bees generally are in fine condition. 

 Honey flow in this locality is much 

 better than it was in either 1911 or 

 1912. However, the continued dry 

 weather has materially effected our fine 

 crop of white clover, and the yield 

 from this source will not reach our 

 anticipations. The quality is very fine.
