 splendid honey, and

 get enough of the 

 Alfalfa extracted.

Pretty Good Sweet Clover Flow. 



We have had bad weather throughout .June. 

 The bees were starving the last part of June, 

 and the first part of .July I fed 3(j() pounds of 

 honey to my bees. The last 10 days there 

 has been a pretty good honey-flow from sweet 

 clover. JoHx Eenigenburg.

Thinks Minnesota all Right. 



Bees are doing well in my locality. I have 

 2 hives with about ITHl pounds on each, and 

 others with from 100 pounds down to 25 

 pounds, and lots to come yet, as we have a 

 good honey-yield in this locality in the fall. 



I am sorry to hear of so many failures in 

 other Stales. I think Minnesota is all right.

An Old Beginner's Report. 



I am a beginner in the bee-business. I 

 found a colony in a tree last October and 

 wintered them ; they were Italians. This spring 



1 traded and got IS colonies of blacks, and in 

 old hives with racks, but the combs were in 

 every shape. I transferred them into new 

 hives which I made, and in 3 weeks I divided 



2 of the colonies, and put 3 frames of brood 

 and adhering bees into a hive and 3 frames of 

 brood foundation, on May 38, and on July 9 

 they cast a nice swarm, and I hived them on 

 brood foundation. The Italians cast their 

 first swarm July 4, and to-day, when they 

 swarmed out the aii was alive with them for 

 about 20 minutes, then they returned to the 

 old hive that they issued from, and went to 

 work as usual. 



My Irees are doing well this month, so far; 

 white clover is in profusion here, the most for 

 a great many years. It has been very warm 

 for 2 weeks or so, with occasional rains. <Jne 

 of the old colonies that I divided cast a swarm 

 July 11, so now I have 10 colonies, and I sold 

 one. 



To-day I hived 2 more swarms; one was a 

 second from the Italians, and they came out 

 again yesterday about 3 o'clock, and after a 

 while they returned to the old colony from 

 which they issued ; this morning they came 

 out and settled on a small birch and I hived 

 them. D. B. BoYNTON.

Too Much Wet Weather. 



My bees are doing fairly well. There is an 

 almudance of white clover this year, but the 

 weather has been unfavorable, too many dark, 

 wet and windy days, but when we do have a 

 nice day the bees fairly make things hum. 



Last year I got s2.t pounds of honey, mostly 

 extracted, from 5 colonies, spring count, and 

 increased to 8 colonies. I thought that was 

 doing pretty well for a greenhorn. 



I will send you a reixirt of this year's crop 

 later on. G. Gletsteen. 



Sioux Co., Iowa, July 19. 



Heav.y Rainfalls and Washouts. 



During July, so far, we have had a little 

 good weather, and so our bees have secured a 

 small amount of surplus honey. But now the 

 season has closed. 



Within 10 miles of us some of the friends 

 liave secured a large crop, so I hear. Bass- 

 wood was not frozen in these localities. C-2 

 E^I established a small yard about 14 miles
