White Clover Cheers Him. 



White clover heads are coming out. 

 How it cheers me to think I may have a 

 honey crop after three years of failure.

Wet and Cold Weather. 



I wintered 40 colonies on the summer 

 stands, and no loss at all. May was wet 

 and cold, and bees are not doing much 

 yet— not a swarm out. It is the first 

 season that I have seen with no swarm 

 in May. C. W. Learned. 



Wayne Co., Mich., June 2. 



Good Season Expected. 



The fruit-trees are all in bloom, but on 

 account of the cold and rainy weather, 

 the bees derive but little benefit from 

 them. I lost three colonies to-day by 

 spring dwindling. We have had three 

 very poor honey seasons, but I expect a 

 good one this year. I started four years 

 ago with one colony ; I bought a good 

 bee-book and subscribed for the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal, and now I am getting 

 along all right. M. P. Heesakers.

Early White Clover Crop. 



The honey season opens up bright in 

 this locality, and the indications are that 

 we shall have an early crop of white 

 clover, which is the chief source here 

 for comb honey ; still, " there's many a 

 slip," etc., you know, and we may have 

 hot, dry weather in latter May and early 

 June, that will burn the clover up com- 

 pletely. J. E, Pond.

Bee-Keeping in Southern California. 



It is now a year and a half since we 

 came to this part of the country, seek- 

 ing health for both self and wife. I pur- 

 chast a ranch of IC-l acres about 10 

 miles east of San Diego, and lying on 

 the upper side of the noted Sweet Water 

 Reservoir. We are 7 miles from the 

 Bay, and 15 miles from Old Mexico. 

 Our ranch lies at the foot of the San 

 Miguel mountains ; some of it running 

 up on the side of these mountains. Soon 

 after coming here, as I could not find 

 any bees to purchase, I took 27 colonies 

 on shares — each party to furnish one- 

 half of the supplies, and the proceeds in 

 both bees and honey to bo divided 

 equally between us. Last year being 

 one of the most extrcmoof the extremely 

 dry seasons of this part of the State, I 

 got neither increase nor surplus, and 

 lost four colonies. 



Having purchast 10 colonies, I started 

 in this spring with 159 colonies. From 

 these we now have 95 colonies, some 

 half-dozen of which were double swarms, 

 and the last two I have run back into 

 the hives from which they issued. I am 

 more anxious now forj^honey than any
