Getting: Bid of Black Ants. 



Mr. VV. A. Varian, on page 500 asks 

 how to keep black ants out of a honey- 

 bouse. If he will dissolve some corro- 

 sive sublimate in water, and with a 

 small brush paint around all cracks and 

 crevices where ants enter, I think they 

 will disappear. I have found it effective. 

 There Is a patented article — small tin 

 box about IJ-2 inches square— which if 

 set on a shelf or near the entrance- way 

 will drive them away. It sells for 25 

 cents. Geo. H. Stipp. 



Bees Did Well. 



We did well here this year. I started 

 with 17 colonies spring count, increast 

 to 37, and took ISOO pounds of as fine 

 white clover as can be. Success to the 

 " Old Reliable. " James Arnot.

Good Fall Flow of Nectar. 



Bees in this section did a big business 

 the first of the season, but after July 10 

 almost a failure owing to the drouth. 

 We always have a good fall flow of nec- 

 tar. D. Patterson.

Simpson Honey-Plant. 



Is the stalk and seed I send the noted 

 Simpson honey-plant ? if not what is it ? 

 I have never noticed any of it before, 

 and there is only a small cluster of this 

 growing on the bank of the creel<. Bees 

 work on it from early morning till dark. 

 I do not know when it began to bloom 

 as I did not notice it till the bees were 

 working on it. 



I had a fair honey-flow the first part 

 of the season, but very light the last 

 part, on account of dry weather.
