where was I ? Oh, yes. I was telling 

 about those two swarms. Well, in set- 

 ting the new swarms on the old stands I 

 fiot them mixt, and set the No. 8 queen 

 on the No. lO stand, and the working 

 force of No. lU killed the No. S queen, 

 so I hail to put No. 10 back on the old 

 stand, and all I lost was an old black 

 queen. 



If I have to take care of bees another 

 year I shall clip all the queens, for it is 

 just fun then to hive them, but I tell you 

 it is all that I can do to move the old 

 hives. I moved one to-day that I think 

 would weigh 15U pounds. 



If nothing happens there will be a big 

 crop of honey this year. The white clo- 

 ver is just a sight. The pastures and 

 lanes, and all along the roadside are 

 white. 



June I t. — Well, I have had another 

 bee-picnic since. Just as we were eating 

 dinner one of the swarms I hived on 

 Saturday came out. so I went to see 

 where they were going to alight, but in- 

 stead of alighting they went off to the 

 wood, and I kept after them and followed 

 them to their homein a big maple tree, 

 about 40 feet from the ground.

Too Many Heavy Rams. 



Bees have been doing very well, but 

 have lost at least one-half of the bass- 

 wood bloom on account of too many 

 heavy rains. S. A. Mat.son.

White Clover Not Yielding. . 



There has been more white clover 

 bloom in this part of the country than 

 for many years, but the bees do not work 

 on it very much. We expect a good flow 

 from sweet clover, which is just coming 

 into bloom. G. W. Stephenson.

Plenty of White Clover.

Crimson and Other Clovers. 



Last season I bought a small amount 

 of crimson, Alsike, sweet, alfalfa, and 

 white clover, to experiment with in this 

 section of country, seeing they were all 

 spoken highly of for honey and hay. I 

 sowed the Alsike, alfalfa, white and part 

 of the crimson about April 1, with oats. 

 The spring was very dry, and it seemed 

 none of it did any good. 



I saved part of the crimson and sweet 

 clover, and sowed later. I sowed the 

 crimson with buckwheat, Aug. 12, and 

 got a fine stand of the crimson — about 

 one acre — which I cut about two weeks 

 ago, and got 9 wagon loads of hay to the 

 acre ; but I let the clover get too ripe to 

 make good hay, in order to get the seed, 

 and now on tho same piece of ground 

 the crimson clover is up again, covering 

 the ground from the seed that dropt 

 while cutting, which I run my harrow 

 over as soon a." cut. 



I sowed a small lot (about 3-2 acre) in 

 sweet clover, which bloomed about the 

 same time tin- crimson was in bloom, 

 and to my surprise I never saw a worker- 

 bee on a blossom of sweet clover, but, on
