WATCH THIS ADT. 



can keep the balance of my colonies 

 from swarmiiiK until July 1, I expect to 

 get nearly 500 pounds of white clover 

 honey. 



We have a second honey-flow In this 

 section from sniartweed, which comes 

 up and covers the stubblefields after 

 harvest. Last year I secured nearly 

 50 pounds per colony from that source. 

 I find as ready a market for this dark 

 honey as for th(> choicest white clover 

 honey, many preferring the smartweed 

 honey, especially after it is well ripened.

Iowa Coming' Back. 



My bees have increast from 17 colo- 

 nlesj spring count, to 40. I have young 

 swarms that were hived the first day of 

 June that have stored 100 pounds of 

 white clover houey. Iowa is coming 

 back to where it used to be for honey.

Gathering Honey 'Very Fast. 



Bees are gathering honey very fast 

 now, and I think the flow will be good. 

 I have ISO colonies, and they are keep- 

 ing me very busy at preseot.

Bees Doing Nicely. 



The bee-keepers here tell me that bee- 

 keeping in Kansas is not a success. This 

 is my first year, and my bees are doing 

 nicely so far. They are working on 

 alfalfa, wild flowers and buckwheat.

On a S-warming Spree. 



My bees are on a swarming spree. I 

 had seven swarms come off to-day at one 

 time — three second and four first swarms. 

 They all settled in one cluster. It was 

 the largest bunch of bees I ever saw. 

 They would have filled a washtub even 

 full, or more. I will tell some other 

 time what I did with them, as they com- 

 menced to ball the queens and fight all 

 over the apiary. 



I believe that I can take a thousand 

 pounds of honey from my bees now. 

 They have filled two-thirds of the brood- 

 frames and capt it over — all white clover 

 honey, and I believe it will stop the 

 swarming. J. Q. Smith.

Prospects in Maryland. 



Please accept my thanks for making 

 the Bee Journal what it is, and for ex- 

 posing fraudulent commission men. I 

 know what, or how, they " pull " one if 

 they can. I had some " pull " me in 

 Pittsburg and Philadelphia last summer, 

 on peaches. 



The bees seem to be rolling in the 

 honey from somewhere, but not from 

 white clover, for it is seldom I can see 

 a bee on It. There is more small white 

 clover this summer than I have seen for 

 20 years, but the bees don't visit it any. 

 We have several acres of Alsike clover, 

 and the bees are making good use of it. 

 It is something new for our neighbor 

 farmers, and it looks so well, and has 

 such a fine growth which pleases them
