A California Report. 



From I'iO colonies of bees this year I got 

 nine tons of extracted honey, and one ton 

 of comb honey. H. C. Wiieei.ek.

Sells Honey — Report. 



I sell a great deal of honey, both comb 

 and extracted. I secured 1,000 pounds of 

 the finest of extracted honey from t! colo- 

 nies last year. S. S. Fetuekoi.f. 



Pickaway Co., Ohio. 



An 1897 Report. 



I began last spring with 23 colonies. S be- 

 ing queenless, iucreast to 36. reared and 

 tested queens, and requeened them all, and 

 produced 1.035 pounds of extracted honey, 

 and 093 well filled sections of comb honey. 

 I have sold nearly all of it in the home 

 market. My bees were never in better 

 condition for winter than now.

Reading the Bee Journal Over Again. 



The American Bee Journal is like com- 

 pany, these cold, drizzly days, when bee- 

 keepers like me prefer to sit in the house 

 and read over the back numbers. I find 

 many things that are of real value, that I 

 had skipt or forgotten. As I am busy in 

 the summer it happens I don't take time to 

 read all the articles, and these stormy days 

 are just the time to look up and read them 

 over. I especially like the way the editor 

 comes down on honey sharks and swindlers. 

 By the way, they must be scarce now, at 

 least I have not received any of their cir- 

 culars this year, which I give the Bee Jour- 

 nal credit for. It helpt to keep drumming 



iway

Report for 1897. 



My bees have done well this year. I 

 started in the spring with S colonies, in- 

 creast to 22. and secured 900 pounds of 

 honey in one-pound sections, and 300 

 pounds ot extracted. I sold the extracted 

 for 12'..' cents per pound, and my comb 

 honey at 15 cents for second grade, and 30 

 cents for first grade. My best colony stored 

 135 pounds of section honey. All are in 

 fine coudition tor winter, and we are look- 

 ing forward with great hopes for another 

 good year in 1S9S. Bees were coming in 

 with pollen from weeds Nov. 37. and are 

 flying out finely to-day. L. Cowell.

Wanted— A Thousand Like This ! 



The year is drawing to a close. Christ- 

 mas is'near. and I have not yet paid my 

 subscription to the American Bee Journal 

 for the current year. As one vote some- 

 times decides the contest for office, so may 

 one dollar decide the editor's chance for 

 regaling on roast turkey at Christmas. 

 Therefore. I take from my pocket a dollar 

 allotted for holiday festivities, and send as 

 payment for the weekly feast which has 

 been spread out in the American Bee Jour- 

 nal during the past' year, and to enable 

 Editor York & Co. to partake ot the usual 

 holiday feast. 



The ■• Co." we suppose may mean wife, 

 and we are sorry that it does not include 

 the little bud of promise, developing into 

 flower, which was recently anticipated by 

 fond parents, and would have given more 

 joy than all other feasting, had not the 

 cruel hand of Fate snatcht awa^ the tender 



bud. .. ^ ,.
