Sweet Clover on Limestone Glades. 



I would like to ask If any of the read- 

 ers of the Aineriian Bee Journal have 

 had any experionco with sweet clover 

 on rotten limestone plades, in which the 

 soil Is but a few Inches deep, and is 

 rather wet during the rainy seasons, as 

 I have a chance to sow several acres of 

 such land. 



Bees did splendidly the first of the 

 season. One colony that was transferred 

 last spring gathered 50 pounds of sur- 

 plus comb honey of fine quality, but the 

 last of the season was dry, and we got 

 but little honey of any kind.

Very Poor Season. 



This was a very poor season for west- 

 ern Washington. I got less than 500 

 pounds of honay from 55 colonies, and 

 increast to (58. S. D. Winingkr.

Poor Season for Bees. 



I did not get 10 pounds of honey for 

 my family use this year, but must feed 

 my 11 colonies to winter them. I put 

 all my swarms on six frames in 8-frame 

 Langstroth hives, and on both sides a 

 chaff division-board, on top a super 

 filled with chaff, and so I hope to get 

 them through the winter in good condi- 

 tion on the summer stands. To-day 

 (Nov. 7) we have a ;nlce, warm day, and 

 I have seen bees work on the white 

 clover all over. 



I like the Bee Journal very much. 

 The articles from Dr. Gallup are worth 

 the subscription price.

Management the Past Season. 



What I am about to say I well know 

 is in direct opposition to all the bee-lore 

 1 have ever seen or heard. First, to re- 

 turn all swarms to the parent hive and 

 have them go to work as before swarm- 

 ing, is not practicable, or at least it has 

 been so talkt. But being inclined to 

 have my own way about many matters, 

 and not desiring to increase stock, I 

 adopted measures that at first lookt haz- 

 ardous and discouraging, but being per- 

 sistent in mind (or trying to be) as the 

 bees are, I said to myself, " I will con- 

 quer." The first few began pouting and 

 hung outside In idleness for nearly a 

 week, with my driving them in several 

 times with smoke, still they persisted. 

 Then I said, " If grass and turf will not 

 do I will try what virtue there is in 

 stones." I then took all supers from 

 the hives (which were partly filled, some 

 nearly full), when they swarmed, and 

 not a thing done thereafter. I took two 

 center frames from the hive and made a 

 nucleus with them, giving them empty 

 frames, and drove them in, and they 

 went to work with a vim, which gave 

 me entire satisfaction. Thus did I pro- 

 ceed through all the swarming season, 

 if they did not go to work about the sec- 

 ond day. 



I well know this is not In line with all 

 the bee-literature I have ever read, but
