Buying and Reaping Queens. 



I was very much interested in Dr. 

 Gallup's articles about queens, and 

 have just read vrhat Mr. Alley says, on 

 page 519. I have bought queens from 

 nearly every queen-breeder in the 

 United States, and my experience has 

 been that ^' of every 10 queens I have 

 purchased are worthless, while 50 per- 

 cent of the queens I rear myself under 

 the swarming impulse are fully up to 

 the standard. I bought 5 queens in 

 1901 of a Texas breeder who is now out 

 of business, the bees from one of these 

 having produced forme, this season, 200 

 pounds of surplus honey, while the 

 other four have not produced a single 

 pound. 



I believe that all queen-breeders, re- 

 gardless of the methods they follow, 

 will produce some good queens, and I 

 think it wrong to condemn them, but 

 rather we should encourage them, for 

 what improvements we have made we 

 are indebted to them for the same.

Bees Have Done Poorly. 



My bees have done very poorly so 

 far, as it has been raining the most of 

 the time since spring opened ; in fact, 

 I had to feed all through June, there 

 being only one day the bees got to 

 work on basswood, and there was so 

 much water on the trees that they could 

 do but little that day. They have been 

 doing fairly well since Juh' 20. so I 

 hope I will not have to feed them this 

 winter. 



I winter my bees in an open shed 

 where they are protected from the east, 

 west and north wind, and are perfectly 

 dry and well packed in straw, so noth- 

 ing is exposed but the front. I have 

 never lost any, and when I unpacked 

 them the last of March they were all 

 rearing brood, and have kept strong 

 all summer. I got only 3 swarms, and 

 those by dividing. J. M. Butler.

A Fairly Good Season. 



This has been a fairly good honey 

 season here, in North Idaho, and I 

 think the honey crop will be very good. 

 The season here is much shorter than 

 in the Eastern States, owing to the 

 cold rains late in the spring and early 

 in the fall. 



1 started with 25 colonies last spring-, 

 and have increased to 70. Bees are 

 filling supers with fine white clover 

 honey. 



The farmers here are seeding their 

 farms to grasses to a great extent, such 

 as red and white clover, alfalfa, etc., 

 which makes fine pasturage for bees. 



Is it a fact that bees do not gather 

 honey after Aug. 10, to any extent, in 

 any of the Eastern States, or, in fact, 

 any part of the country ? Do you know 

 how much honey has been gathered by 

 a colony of bees after that date ? The 

 statement has been made by a person
