mOERS 



my neighbor with an Italian apiary, was 

 having as high as 10 swarms a day. I 

 had none at all. They have come to stay 

 with me. Most of my swarming Is when 

 they supersede a queen. 



About selling honey, by all means cul- 

 tivate the home market. I cannot af- 

 ford to sell a pound of poor honey, espe- 

 cially to my home customers. Some 

 make the mistake of taking all the first- 

 class honey to the cities and towns, and 

 selling the thin, poor honey at home. I 

 make it a point never to be stingy. If 

 a neighbor drops in, give him a dish of 

 honey to eat. Very often he will say, 

 "That is splendid honey. How do you 

 sell It?" Cultivate his taste for your 

 honey. You will think it very strange 

 when I tell you that buckwheat Is the 

 favorite honey hero. Give them a taste 

 of light honey, and they will say, "It's 

 very nice but I will wait for the buck- 

 wheat." This is a buckwheat section.

Some Did Fairly Well. 



I like the American Bee Journal. 

 Some of our bee-keepers have done fair- 

 ly well this season ; others not so well. 

 After the white clover came into bloom, 

 which is our main stay here, there was 

 a deal of cool, damp weather, with an 

 occasional extremely hot day. Wheth- 

 er that had anything to do with the 

 rather poor yield, or not, I can't say, as 

 I consider myself yet only a novice. We 

 depend somewhat on linden, but there 

 was almost none from that source this 

 season. Wm. Millek. 



Ontario, Canada, Sept. 30. 



Selling' Honey-Lemonade at Fairs. 



Our crops here have all been burnt 

 out by the hot weather ; no honey except 

 from the dry-weather honey-vine. I 

 attended the TriState Fair here last 

 week, and won all 1st premiums (7) in 

 the bee and honey department, and we 

 took in §55.00 from sales of honey-lem- 

 onade. If we would have had hot 

 weather, I believe we would have made 

 .$100 on honey-lemonade. We now 

 use a good deal of honey to flavor the 

 lemonade as we find it improves the 

 taste wonderfully. We had six pretty 

 girls to help sell lemonade.

A Correction — The Season. 



I find a mistake In my report on page 

 601. It should read that I lielpt to 

 judge the honey exhibit, instead of say- 

 ing that I judged it, etc., as there was 

 another bee-keeper from near Stillwater, 

 Minn. (I can't think of his name), a good 

 judge, too, who helpt, and I think to 

 very good satisfaction to the exhibitors. 

 At least I did not hear of any complaints. 



I omitted to say that much credit is 

 due the President of the Minnesota Bee- 

 Keepers' Association, and Superinten- 

 dent of the Exhibition, Mr. B. P. West, 

 for getting together such a creditable 

 apiarian exhibit in such an off year as 

 this has been In Minnesota, except in a 

 few small localities. 



Now that the honey season is over 

 (had a frost Sept. 20), we have had the 

 loveliest weather we could wish for ; the 

 past 10 days we have bad, and still
