AMERICAN BEE lOlfPNAI.

snow. I then put on the third super, and 

 they filled 11 sections; the remainder were 

 only parlially tilled; they would hare com- 

 pleted the third super if it had not beeu for 

 the Texas cyclone, which reached here about 

 Sept. 10 or 13; after that the weather 

 changed, and they did not store any more 

 surplus honey. But I was satisfied; they had 

 filled 53 one-pound sections with as nice white 

 honey as any one could desire, besides storing 

 enough in their hive to winter on. 



Last year that colony stored lOSl pounds, 

 the most of it from red clover; ihej' would 

 have stored over 200 pounds if it had not been 

 tor the cold, windy weather that we had the 

 latter part of August and in the month of 

 September. 



I get my best flow of honey during August 

 and September, if the weather is fair and 

 warm enough ; mostly from goldenrod and 

 wild asters, which always yield honey very 

 freely. Within about two miles from where 

 my bees are located there is about 300 acres 

 or more which, at this season of the year, is 

 one mass of wild flowers, mostly goldenrod 

 and wild asters. 



I have kept bees for 10 or 13 years, but this 

 Las been the poorest season 1 ever saw ; thus 

 far I have taken off only one super of 21 sec- 

 tions. During June. July, and the first part 

 of August, I had to feed some of them to keep 

 them from starving. 



The weather has been lair for the last week, 

 and bees are working freely on the early 

 goldenrod ; there are several varieties, and 

 usually the season lasts about six weeks. 

 With warm, pleasant weather lor the next 

 three weeks, 1 will be able to report a lair 

 crop of honey. Geo. H. Weaver.

 success with bees.
