Immense Growth of White Clover. 



Bees, so far as a crop of honey was con- 

 cerned, were a complete failure here, but 

 the wet season started an immense crop of 

 white clover, that we hope will even things 

 up this year, A. C. Matthias, M. D.

Report for 1896. 



I started last spring with 2 colonies, in- 

 creast to S, and took about 30 pounds of 

 nice, white clover honey. I get the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal every Friday, and it is a 

 welcome visitor at my home.

Bees Domg Well. 



We are having the coldest weather we 

 have had this winter. I am very well 

 pleased with the Bee Journal. My two col- 

 onies of bees are doing very well so far. In 

 this section of the country the most of the 

 people keep all the way from 3 to 10 colo- 

 nies, which they handle on the old-fogy 

 style. One of my neighbors is wintering 

 his bees in a way which, if it proves all 

 right, I will explain later on.

Yellow Sweet Clover — Amalgamation 



I have been interested in what I have 

 read in the Bee Journal about sweet clover 

 as a honey-plant, and would like to ask 

 where I can get yellow sweet clover seed in 

 small quantities. The basswood is being 

 rapidly cut off, and beekeepers who own 

 farms ought to raise Alsike, white and 

 sweet clover— something that provides bee- 

 pasture as well as ordinary farm crops. 



I, for one, am in favor of amalgamation, 

 and think that a majority of the members 

 of the old Union will vote that way. The 

 old Union has outlived its usefulness, when 

 it fails tj take up such cases as are men- 

 tioued on page 40. We who pay our dollars 

 as members want protection, if necessary. 



Bees are wintering fairly well up to date, 

 but the worst part of the winter is to come 

 yet. I have 80 colonies packt on the sum- 

 mer stands, and 1-5 in the cellar. The 

 honey crop was fairly good here from bass- 

 wood and buckwheat. Success to the " Old 

 Reliable." Ward Lamkin. 



Cayuga Co., N. Y., Jan. 26. 



[Just as soon as we find some of the yel- 

 low sweet clover seed, we will announce in 

 these columns where it can be had. At 

 present we do not know where there is 

 enough to be worth mentioning.— Editor.] 



Report for the Past Season. 



The past season was not as good as ex- 

 pected. The spring opened very bright, 

 and the bees were in pretty good condition 

 to gather a big crop of honey. The white 

 clover began to bloom the last of May, 

 and the forepart of June the bees did very 

 well on it— they stored the honey in the 

 supers quite well. The best of the honey- 

 flow stopt the latter part of June, but the 

 bees still gathered enough to keep them in 

 good condition, and all colonies were very 

 strong in bees. White clover has a good 

 stand for next year. 



In July the basswood began to bloom, 

 and they were just loaded with blossoms — 

 lookt as if we were going to have a big 

 crop of honey. When they were in mid- 

 bloom the bees did not work on them yet. 

 which I did not know any reason for, but 

 as I examined the blossoms, by picking 

 them apart with the fingers, there flew out 

 lots of little insects, which lookt like little,
