provokine work about the apiary; but 

 by this method I find it easy. I have 

 tried feeders regulated by thumb-screws. 

 Mason jars with perforated lids, bread- 

 pans filled with straw, or covered with 

 cheese-cloth, etc., but they are all too 

 fussy to suit me. The former have a 

 fashion of leakinc and letting the syrup 

 run out of the entrance, while the rest 

 are dauby and drown the bees. The 

 Boardman entriince feeder has none of 

 these faults, and is the only feeder I use 

 when a feeder is required ; but Pouder's 

 method given above is ahead of them all, 

 as it costs nothing, saves time, is more 

 cleanly, and does not allow the heat of 

 the cluster to escape as do feeders which 

 are placed above the cluster. — Earl C. 

 Walker, in Gleanings. 



Have Done Moderately Well. 



Bees have done moderately well, but 

 are checkt at present by drouth. 



Keep the Bee Journal booming. I am 

 lost without it. R. H. Harkey.

Bees Doing Fine. 



Bees are doing fine this year. There 

 is any amount of white clover, and pros- 

 pects for a fall Pow are good. 



I put a drone-trap on one of my hives 

 at noon, and by 5 o'clock, p.m., I had 

 between 350 and 275 drones in it. Is 

 not this an unusual large number for 

 one colony ? P. D. Wink. 



Cherokee Co., Iowa, July 20. 



Bad Year for Bees. 



We have had a very bad year for bees 

 in this section. I have taken off only 

 100 pounds of comb honey from 22 col- 

 onies. Heavy rains in the spring fol- 

 lowed by a drouth is the reason. I had 

 only three swarms from lU colonies.

Not Much White Clover Honey. 



I like to read all the reports from bee 

 men and boys ; some are nice to read, 

 some make me have a pain. I will get 

 some honey this season. White clover 

 has been very plentiful, but not very 

 rich in nectar. It was a long time be- 

 fore a bee was seen on it, but later they 

 put in their time pretty well. Now, 

 altho there is considerable yet in bloom, 

 very little honey is coming in. I have a 

 little over 100 colonies from 56, spring 

 count. I have a few finisht supers of 

 honey, and some extracting frames full. 

 I am changing my old hives to the Lang- 

 stroth style. 



I expect to sell my honey at and near 

 home, and will use some leaflets to try 

 to create a greater demand. There will 

 be considerable loose farmers' honey 

 hereabouts, and I am a little fearful 

 about prices ; yet I don't believe in ad- 

 vertising the fact before hand, for we 

 may not get much more honey than we 

 have. W. Spencer.

Sections and Section Holders. 



I have an idea or two that I feel will 

 interest bee-keepers in regard to width 

 of sections, and section-holders. I use 

 sections 1 15, 16 inches in width, be- 

 cause they fit my lU-frame Langstroth
