will keep open every crack, hole or space 

 in the hive lar(?e enough for a bee to 

 pass through, no matter whether It is in 

 the front, side or back of the hive, and 

 will glue up every crevice about the 

 hive not large enough to pass through. 

 The same rule applies generally to the 

 inside of the hive, so if the sections rest 

 flat on slats, or anything else, the bees 

 will glue up tij;ht all around the sections 

 and keep open a bee-space in the lower 

 part of the sections. I have had full 

 supers, where the sections rest on slats, 

 that not one of the combs was In any 

 way fastened to the bottom of the sec- 

 tions — a thing that has seldom occurred 

 where there was a space between the 

 top of the brood-frames and the sections. 

 It seems they will have traveling-room 

 either under the sections or through the 

 sections from one to another. 



Bees are a small people, but they 

 know how to protect themselves against 

 ants and other small Insects, by stopping 

 up every crevice with bitter glue, that 

 nothing wants to eat into. They seem 

 to think that wherever there is space 

 enough for them to go through they can 

 take care of their enemies, and where 

 they can't go through they close it up 

 tight. H. P. WiLLSON.

Expects a Crop this Year. 



Bees did well last winter, and came 

 out strong this spring, both in bees and 

 honey. I had 2'A colonies, lost one, fine 

 Italian with an old queen. I have had 

 7 swarms to date, all in good shape. 

 White clover is in bloom. I have acres 

 of sweet clover from one to four feet 

 high, and the public highways are full 

 for miles around. You see I am going 

 to have some honey this year, or quit 

 the business. Last year I took off about 

 300 pounds. It was a poor location. I 

 changed locations this spring, where I 

 have plenty of pasture till frost closes 

 the season. .Tas. W. Williams.

Poor Outlook for a Honey Crop. 



Bees have had a hard time for the past 

 10 days — too cold and windy, and a 

 heavy frost on .June 1 did immense dam- 

 age to fruit and vegetation. Linden 

 buds are about all killed on the few trees 

 that had any— live out of six did not 

 have buds at all. Corn and potatoes are 

 frozen to the ground ; wild and tame 

 fruit are badly damaged ; bees have to 

 be fed, as they are at the starving point. 

 There is no prospect for anything the 

 next two weeks. The outlook for a 

 honey crop is poor. C. Theilmann. 



Wabasha Co.. Minn., June 3. 



Big Crop Expected. 



Southern Indiana never before was 

 covered with such a carpet of white 

 clover a» this season ; but cool weather 

 has delayed the flow of nectar enough to 

 prohibit the bees from working in the 

 sections. All bee-keepers report their 

 bees in good cmiditlon for honey-gather- 

 ing, and with warm and favorable 

 weather Vanderburgh county will pro- 

 duce, from present indications, 80 to 

 100 tons of white clover honey, say 

 nothing of our fall crop from dry- 

 weather honey-vine and fall flowers, as 

 we number about 3,000 colonies. In 

 the very midst of the swarming season I
