ment of the honey-bee increast. I hope 

 it may continue. I say the amount in- 

 creast as my knowledge, judging from 

 the amount of honey obtained by the 

 bee-keepers in this vicinity in the last 

 two seasons, which was tuore than this 

 season. The honey-plants found here 

 are white clover, lindeu, willow-herb, 

 golden-rod and buckwheat ; the last 

 named of course being sown by the 

 farmers. Iha D. Bartlett.

Bees Did Well. 



Bees have done well here this year. I 

 read the American Bee Journal every 

 week, and get a heap of information out 

 of it. J. C. Gambrill.

Not a Good Season. 



The past season did not prove very 

 good here — too much rain in May and 

 June. I had to feed half of my colonies 

 (20). I got no swarms, but some 700 

 pounds of honey. The apiary is in an 

 orchard within the city limits. Attend- 

 ing to the bees is a very agreeable pas- 

 time in our college work.

lam very glad the "Question-Box" 

 took up ;the Michigan no-wall founda- 

 tion. It is ;very agreeable to know the 

 pros and cons of befief. The present, as 

 also the past, places great stress on be- 

 lief. 



When the Michigan convention meets 

 about Jan. 1, ISOS, a comparison will 

 be made, and facts, not beliefs, brought 

 forward. As there are no money con- 

 siderations to figure in the report — only 

 prejudice and habit will bias the bee- 

 keeper's judgment — it will be fair to ex- 

 pect a reasonable expression.

Very Good Bee-Season. 



The bee-season with me has been very 

 good. I have a fine lot of honey, and 

 65 colonies of bees. I winter them on 

 the summer stands, packt in leaves in 

 cases, with a shingle roof. I have good 

 results wintering in this way. I win- 

 tered about 45 colonies last winter with 

 no loss, but they had abundant stores of 

 good honey, and the storm-doors were 

 up in bad weather. It was also a favor- 

 able Jwinter. Nearly all ray honey is 

 white clover, and the best I ever saw. 



I notice a man reports in the Bee 

 Journal that he took off 3,500 pounds 

 of honey, and yet he had no bees at all. 

 I can't do that trick.
