THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



365 



Editor Review : 



As I was sending in an order, I 

 thought I would give you a crop report 

 of this part of Iowa. Fruit bloom was 

 heavy ; white clover was never equaled 

 here before; basswood (Linn) almost a 

 complete failure. Sweet clover has 

 been coming along fairly well. We had 

 a nice rain last night that will help 

 sweet clover and push buckwheat. Take 

 it all around, we will get a good fair 

 crop of honey.

Editor Bee-Keepers' Review : I have 

 filled out and enclose herewith blank, 

 page 294. July number Bee-Keepers' 

 Review. Because of the very good 

 crop reports from some sections, I 

 thought perhaps a few words of ex- 

 planation might not be out of pla:e. 



The main source of honey is locust 

 and clover, but weather conditions were 

 so unusual that while there was a pro- 

 fusion of early bloom, the bees could 

 not take advantagge of it. From 22 

 colonies but one cast a swarm, and that 

 returned to the old hive soon after it 

 was hived, and stayed there with no 

 attempt at swarming afterward. 



The farmers who keep bees in this 

 immediate locality, as a rule, hive 

 swarms in any old kind of box, some- 

 times a nail keg. and then leave them 

 to help themselves ; little or no svirplus 

 is secured. 



Yours truly,
