Very Lig^ht Honey Crop. 



The honey crop is very light here t 

 year. Bees are gathering honey slo\ 

 now. I think they will have enough 

 winter. G. D. Hawk 



Sullivan Co., Tenn., Sept. 25. 



Report — Feed Scarce. 



I have 1000 pounds of fine comb 

 honey and sold about an equal amount 

 of extracted. I increast from 36 colo- 

 nies to 102. Summer feed is scarce 

 this year. We had no late rains.

Did Well, Considering. 



We have 175 colonies at present, all 

 in chaff hives. I have secured 4000 

 pounds of white honey from them this 

 season. They did extra well, consider- 

 ing the dry weather. I haven't any late 

 honey to speak of. I marketed my 

 honey in Detroit, the same as usual, for 

 8 and 10 cents per pound.

Fears Foul Brood. 



I have about 70 colonies of bees, and 

 suspect that I have several mild cases 

 of foul brood. Please refer me to some 

 one to whom I may send a sample of 

 brood to be analyzed. W. T. Suter. 



Northumberland Co., Pa., Sept. 28. 



[No doubt Mr. Wm. Mc.Evoy of 

 Woodburn, Ont., Canada, Ontario's Foul 

 Brood Inspector, would be glad to help 

 you or any one eli^e who may wish to 

 mall him samples of affected brood.

Carniolan Bees— The Home Market. 



I am pleased with the Bee Journal. 

 Some bee-keepers are so far advanced 

 that they can learn nothing from bee- 

 papers. I have not got there. I am 

 learning all the time by reading and by 

 observation. I run mostly for extracted 

 honey because I reach the man who eats 

 honey — I mean the workingman — the 

 man who buys it by the 60-pound tin 

 can. Those who buy comb honey buy it 

 to look at on the table, a few sections is 

 their winter's supply. 



I use 10-frame Langstroth hives, and 

 never allow my bees to lie outside of the 

 hive. I raise the hive up an Inch from 

 the bottom-board all around, and raise 

 the cover the width of a section. I se- 

 lect a shady location and have no use for 

 non-swarming bees. I want the worst 

 swarmers I can find, for that means the 

 most prolific, the most business bee. I 

 have Carnlolans. I saw them condemned 

 as such awful swarmers. I said, "That 

 Is the bee I want." I found them more 

 prolific, the queen occupies about three 

 frames more with brood than the Ital- 

 ians, they are more gentle, winter bett(!r, 

 and are just as good to gather honey. I 

 was disappointed In their swarming. I 

 find they will stand fully as much crowd- 

 ing as the Italians. In the colonies I 

 run for comb I had no swarming, while
