might purchase. Some said, " Yes, If 

 it is straight and fine." Others said, 

 " Brltig it around." The consequence 

 was 1 sold the entire load at from 14 to 

 15 cents, and three different parlies 

 wanted the euttre lot. I tjnloaded over 

 l.OUO pounds of honey inside of one 

 hour from the lime my team left the 

 feed barn, and got my cash for all. 



That day's work opened my eyes, you 

 may be sure, I want to say right here 

 that C. R Horrie & Co. opened my eyes 

 wide, but it cost me about §75. This 

 bought experience is lasting. A burnt 

 child dreads the Are, and I have no use 

 for commission men, altho I have shipt 

 tons yearly to Chicago commission men, 

 last season excepted. I appreciate what 

 the American Bee Journal has had to 

 say in the past regarding the ring of so- 

 calUd cointnission house robbers and 

 thieves. They have become rich off the 

 Michigan fruit-men and others. Tint 

 not by a 10 per cent, commission. They 

 have every advantage of us shippers, 

 and they don't fail to tal<e it.

Bees Did Fairly Well. 



My bees have done fairly well this 

 season. 1 harvested l,6.iO pounds of 

 honey from '32 colonies, and in'.;reast to 

 52. My honey is nice, all clover and 

 linden. I have a, good home market, 

 and sell it for 14 cents a pound. I have 

 sold GOO pounds. Some are selling 

 hnney here for 12 cents, and some are 

 selling sugar syrup, which they fed to 

 their bees, for 1.5 cents. I sampled some 

 the olher day for a man who said he 

 had bought some "honey." He thought 

 it was sour — a very poor quality of 

 suear, surely. G. I. Wolf.

Wants to be Immortalized. 



Querist No. 58 wants the bee fraternity 

 to inform him — nr her— how to fertilize 

 queens in confinement. Now I want to 

 immortalize myself, as Dr. Brown says, 

 by letting the cat out of the bag, and 

 here is the secret : 



Just build a bee-proof fence one-half 

 mile high, five miles each way from the 

 apiary, with a dome top. Have a door 

 in the southwest corner; have a fast 

 horse, get on him. and with a black- 

 snake whip get right after the inferior 

 drones and make them flee for their 

 lives to the gate. Place a sien over the 

 gate reading, "No prolific worker 

 drones need apply, as the yellow 

 maidens inside prefer gentlemen drones 

 of their own color." And they must 

 have a pedieree that will designate that 

 thev are " just over."

Did Moderately Well — Freaks. 



Bees have done moderately well in 

 this locality. There was much swarm- 

 ing. White clover yielded honey about 

 two weeks at the last of the blooming 

 period. Bees did not work on It at first. 

 No honey is coming in at present — too 

 dry. Strawberry bloom was woikt by 

 the bees. This season I found a queen 

 alive and perfect lu a cell, wrong e;id 

 foremost. She must have grown in the 

 cell reverst because it was lightly sealed 

 when I cut it open. I introduced her 

 I successfully and afterward found her
