have known them to go over 8 miles, 

 but in this case there was nothing for 

 them nearer. It is said they will go as 

 far as 6 miles or more, but of this I have 

 no actual knowledge, 



C. H. Dibbern — If pasturage was very 

 abundant it is not likely that many bees 

 would go over a mile or so. They would 

 probably increase the distance as forage 

 became scarcer. From choice they 

 would not go over hulf a mile — from 

 necessity 'A miles or more.

Alsike a Great Honey-Plant. 



Bees here are doing well at present. I 

 had a field of Alsike clover this season, 

 and I think it is the best honey-plant I 

 ever saw. Bees just swarmed on it. 

 Sweet clover has .just commenced to 

 bloom, and I am anxious to see the bees 

 go after it. We also have white clover 

 in abundance. M. V. Toombs.

Half a Crop Expected. 



The weather has been against us, but 

 we have had abundant rains of late, and 

 now the white clover will last well into 

 July, giving us at least a half crop of 

 white clover honey, I now have ob col- 

 onies from 19 in the spring. The quality 

 of the houey so far is as fine as I ever 

 saw. W. J. CULLINAN. 



Adams Co., III., June 28. 



Prospects Not Bright, 



The prospects for a good honey crop 

 are not very bright at present. Up to a 

 month ago they were never better, but 

 then it turned warm and dry — sometimes 

 y6- in the shade the first part of June, 

 but the last week it has been raining 

 more or less, and the bees are bringing 

 in honey now, but it comes very slowly. 

 We are right in the middle of the clover 

 honey harvest now.

Iowa Getting Back Again, 



I am happy to say that Iowa is getting 

 back to good old times in the honey and 

 bee business. I do not believe we ever 

 before saw such a crop of white clover 

 as we are having this year. It does 

 seem good to again see our pastures and 

 roadsides covered with this bestof-all 

 plant for good honey. And I tell you 

 onr busy bees are making good time 

 when the sun shines. Colonies bred up 

 well during the early spring — in fact, 

 almost all were in first-class condition in 

 early spring, for the fall of 1H9(-) was 

 good for breeding and fall storage, in 

 preparinir my own for wiiiti^r the last of 

 October, I found a number that yet had 

 a quantity of capt brood, which showed 

 that we had a line lot of young bees to 

 take care of things In the early spring 

 of 1897. I see from my strong colonies 

 they made it count, altho we had a cold, 

 backward, late spring. This Is good 

 evidence that good, late fall breeding is 

 a grand thing for the cniiiing year. I 

 think all should see to it that we have 

 plenty of breeding in our colonies during 

 the last half of August aud the most of
