Prospects are grood for a fair crop of honey; more swarms 

 than usual. 



HOnier. N. Y., June 22. M. H. Fairbanks. 



Bees are doing- well now; and witli these recent rains the 

 honey prospects are g-ood. 



Kenmore, N. Y.. June 2. O. L. Her-shiser. 



Very few colonies liave made any start in their supers yet. 

 Clover has been pretty well winter-killed with us in Schoharie 

 County, but g-ood in Broome. Tompkins, and Tiog-a counties.

OHIO 



The prospect here for a crop of honey is not g-ood. Some lo- 

 cations are g-ood and others poor, and we think half a cro)) will 

 be about the average. It is too early yet to know what bass- 

 wood will do; but there is not much here, so can not count 

 much on it. There will be hardly half a crop.

Prospects for a goo<l crop of honey are good. 



Columbiana, Ohio. Ma.v 2:?. 



D. M. McG.iFFiCK. 



Clover is yielding well, and promises a fair crop. One bee- 

 keeper of 24 years' experience says Sunday last was the best 

 clover day he has ever experienced in his time. Others report 

 a rapid flow, but not as good a quality as some years. Pros- 

 pects are good for basswood. Trees are full of buds. From 

 present outlook, at least two-thirds of a crop will be harvested 

 in Northern Ohio and Southern Michigan. There is practically 

 no honey of any kind to be had, and good grades of comb and 

 extracted would find ready sale in a limited way. 



Toledo, Ohio. June 21. S. J. Griggs & Co. 



OREGON 



Clover is in full bloom, but flow is light; weather too cool. 

 Good rei>orts from fireweed district; heavy flow; storing fast; 

 no basswood here; no word from alfalfa districts, but the imt- 

 look early was g-ood near Portland. Indications are for light 

 surplus, but are having a regular mania fr)r swarming. 



Portland, Oregon, June 24, Portijind Seed Co, 



TEXAS 



Honey crop is over in our territory: ver.v light; about the on- 

 ly honey we are able to get is alfalfa, from the irrigated dis- 

 trict. We would think about half a crop. Section honey 

 biings 16 cents; extracted, 9 cents on Dallas market. 



Dallas, Texas, June 24. Texas Seed & Floral Co. 



The honey crop will be very short here this year on account 

 of so much cold wet weather in .^pril, despite the big blow- 

 that some Uvalde bee-keepers made early in the spring. Last 

 year was almost a total failure also, and very little honey was 

 shipped from this county. 



Sabinal, Texas, May 29. W. C. Edwards. 



Guajilla and catclaw almost entire failure on account of too 

 much rain and cold weather in earl.v spring. Horsemint. half 

 crop; first mesiiuite flow no good, but a good mesquite flow is 

 on now. Honey from cotton blossom is short; too much rain 

 in spring, and too dry now. 



San Antonio, Texas. June 2;?. Toepperwein & Mayfield. 



UTAH 



Spring weather at Ogden and Idaho Falls has been cold and 

 cloudy; honey crop depends on the weather from now on. 

 Bees are starting to store from alfalfa. ,iust in bloom; pros- 

 pects are for an average honey crop. 



Ogden, Utah, June 24. Superior Honey Co. 



VIRGINIA 



Honey crov> is about half former years; white clover just 

 coming in; dry weather in May cut it short. We have little or 

 no basswood in Valley of Virginia; Id cts. is about the ruling 

 price on fancy and No. 1: 12 1-2 for lower grades.

No amount of honey produced in this section. This market
