Orange-Bloom Crop Good. 



The honey crop froiu orange-bloom is ex- 

 cellent in quaDtily and quality in this 

 vicinity. The sage crop is doubtful yet.

Bee-Keepers Stand the Stings. 



Mu. Editor: — I. )n page 332 is given a cure 

 for stings— live iiiiniues pressure with a half- 

 dollar on the allected part. You suggest that 

 bankers can use 2U-dollar gold pieces. That 

 might be a little expensive, but the most ex- 

 pensive part of the performance is that " five 

 minutes." For a dozen stings that would 

 take just an hour. Can a bee-keeper not bet- 

 ter afford to stand the pain than to take so 

 much time in the rush of the season *

Country Not What It Was for Bees. 



The bees are not gathering any honey now. 

 I am feeding mine. Some are starving, I 

 learn. 



We always have a moderate flow during 

 cotton-blooming time, which is from the mid- 

 dle of July until frost. 



Our country is not what it once was for 

 bees. All the land is in clutivation, hence 

 scarcely any wild llowers, and the farmers all 

 plant cotton to the exclusion of almost every- 

 thing else, so we do not count on our bees 

 making more than a living, until aiter cotton 

 begins to bloom. Horsemint in the pastures 

 generally furnishes some nectar, but it is a 

 failure this year on account of its not com- 

 ing up for some unaccountable reason this 

 spring. A. B. Cox, M. U.

Bees in Kansas. 



Bees did poorly last winter, but increased 

 rapidly during fruit-bloom. They are at work 

 upon alsike clover. Alfalfa will bloom in 

 about 15 days, but the bees will not be strong 

 enough to benefit by it much.

Spraying While in Bloom. 



I have had an ex]>crience with some of \Vm. 

 Stahl's work. I had 3.5 good -colonies in an 

 out-yard G miles from here, and the man 

 where I had the bees got one of Stahl's spray- 

 ers and followed his directions and sprayed 

 his plum-trees in full bloom, and, of course, 

 the bees got it. Over half of the bees are 

 dead, and also open brood. It is a big loss to 

 ine. The man that sprayed feels badly about 

 it; he did not mean to hurt the bees. I was 

 lucky in getting there in time to prevent him 

 from spraying his a|iple-trees; he was going 

 to do it tlie next day. 



Now, I think Mr. Stahl might put in his 

 directions that spraying trees in full bloom 

 will also poison the bees. There has never 

 been any spraying done here before, and this 

 is something never thought of here.

The Honey Prospect in California. 



Thinking perhaps the readers of the Ameri- 

 can lice .lournal would be somewhat inter- 

 ested in a report from this dry country, and 

 knowing how eager the honey-buyers are to 

 get exaggerated reports started in the Fjast in 

 regard to the brg cr(»ps of honey of Southern 

 Callifornia, I thought I would give a few 

 facts in regard to the present prospect. 



I have 115 colonies in No. 1 condition, 

 which ought to be storing at least a ton of
