THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



■July 8. 



devoured nearly everything, there is an 

 abundance of the good things of the 

 earth. This was oue of the few spots 

 where there was no honey-bees until 

 they were imported 1,0U0 miles over- 

 land by those hardy pioneers. 



Utah will grandly celebrate her pio- 

 neer year. It is said that President 

 McKinley and many others will be here. 

 We send you greeting — a pressing invi- 

 tation to come and see us, and we wish 

 to extend this invitation to bee-keepers 

 from any part of the world. We will 

 try to make it pleasant and agreeable 

 for all that may favor us with their 

 presence. There will be an extra session 

 of the bee-keepers on July 23, in Salt 

 Lake City. While in some parts there 

 was considerable winter loss, as a rule 

 the yield of honey is excellent at present, 

 and the bees are in good condition.

Too Much Rain in June. 



Bees are doing well at present, but it 

 has been so rainy through most of June 

 that they have done very little until 

 now. F. L. Murray.

Honey Finest Ever Seen. 



Judging from present indications this 

 will be a splendid honey season in this 

 section. I have taken off quite a lot of 

 honey, and it is all of the finest quality 

 ever seen. Geo. Bischoff. 



Des Moines Co., Iowa, June 30. 



Backward Season. 



My hives are brimful of bees, and in 

 splendid condition. But on account of 

 so much cold, rainy weather this spring, 

 they have not been able to store any 

 surplus honey yet- If we don't have 

 some dry weather soon, I fear that our 

 " name is Dennis " for this season.
