Prospect for a Good Fall Flow. 



We had a very wet spriog, but through .lune 

 and the first half of July the bees stored 

 steadily. 



My 19 colonies, spring count, increased to 

 32 by natural swartning, and have stored 

 almost 1000 finished sections to date. 



A week ago it was dry and hot here, the 

 bees had been out of a job for nearly a mouth, 

 aud corn and hay were drying up, but it has 

 rained almost every day this week, and the 

 prospect for a good fall (low of nectar is prom- 

 ising. W. H. Means.

Buckwheat Harvest at Hand. 



Our honey harvest has arrived. Field after 

 field of buckwheat is white with bloom, with 

 acres still to come in Ijloom. My bees are 

 doing splendidly, are storing in the supers 

 very fast, and I have the second super on 

 almost all of my colonies. I think the honey- 

 flow will continue for about three weeks yet, 

 as the farmers were kept back on account ot 

 the wet weather, some sowing as late as the 

 first of August— something I never knew of 

 their doing before. As it takes from five to 

 six weeks to bloom, our honey harvest should 

 continue well into September,

Honey Crop WIH be Short. 



We had 4 colonies of bees, spring count, 

 and increased to 12 Ijy the first of July. A 

 prime, or first swarm, that issued June 13, 

 cast a swarm Aug. 10. They clustered about 

 one hour, and then left for the woods. 1 was 

 not at home at the time, and was not thinking 

 about swarms at this time of the year, so I 

 was not prepartd. It was the first swarm I 

 ever lost in any way. 



The crop of surplus honey will be short on 

 account of the wet weather. There was plenty 

 of white clover, but the bees did not work on 

 it very much. (iEOFFREY A. Hint.

Beating Nature at Queen-Rearing. 



I'repare the colony by removing the iiueen 

 and all unsealed brood. In four or five hours 

 give them cell-cups primed with royal jelly, 

 and supply with larv;i' not over three days 

 old, and feed abundantly from four to five 

 days. By so doing you will have long-lived 

 queens and workers. In my 23 years' experi- 

 ence 1 have watched the nature of bees. I 

 find in a colony left to Nature's way, colony 

 No. 1 swarmed with 3 capped <iueen-cells and 

 b unsealed cells. Colony No. 2 swarmed 

 without having started any queen-cells. Col- 

 ony No. 3 swarmed with 2 sealed queen-cells, 

 and r> unsealed cells, and 2 unsealed cells 

 started on drone-brood. Why should Nature 

 make a mistake by starting queen-cells on 

 drone-larvse ; Arthur Stanley.

Bees Did Well— Bee-Martins. 



My bees have done well for this bad season, 

 and are still at work. I had two prime 

 swarms last .Saturday, and two on Monday. 



I wonder if I am a member of Uie American 

 Bee-Keepers' Association J I sent Mr. Seeor 

 my dollar, but do not know for sure whether 

 1 was black-balled or not. 



I want to tell you something about the bee- 

 martin, that may be new to a great many bee- 

 keepers. They are rightly named bee-martin 

 — king-ljird may lie something else. The bee- 

 martin will locate on a dead limb of a tree, 

 on a high post, or on the comb of the house, 

 near the bee-yard, and if you will watch him
