Wlio Xaiig'lit the little busy bee 



For honey sweet to dip, 

 And snigger round each blooming flower, 



Until she gets a sip ? 



If she but understood her game, 



No honey would she give. 

 But simply take enough each day 



To enable her to live. 



Then when the autumn winds did blow, 



She'd calmly strut about ; 

 For they wouldn't burn her bally hive, 



Nor with brimstone funk her out.

■Welcome is the honey the visiting bee 

 finds in the flower. 



Volume XXXH we begin with this 

 number of the Bee Journal. We are not 

 going to make any promises as to the 

 future, only to say that if you fail to read 

 the Bee Journal right along from now on 

 you will miss something that might prove 

 very valuable to you. We hope that you 

 will not only continue to read the Bee 

 Journal yourselves, but that each one may 

 get somebody else to read it regularly. By 

 this, you will not only be doing us a great 

 favor, but will be helping your friends to a 

 means of gaining practical help in bee- 

 keeping. 



Xlie Poiil Brood Cure, as practiced 

 by Mr. McEvoy, the Foul Brood Inspector 

 of Ontario, Canada, we publish in full this 

 week, on page 15. We wish that those 

 whose apiaries are afflicted with that ter- 

 rible malady would give Mr. M.'s method a 

 thorough trial, and then report results. He 

 says that " the best bee-keepers in Canada 

 like it the best of any method yet offered, 

 ami it is well and favorably known in On- 

 tario, not even one to find any fault with 

 it." 



'I'lie I^i'ospects are (wood for a 



large yield of honey this year, if we may 

 judge from the reports we have been re- 

 ceivin^T the past few weeks. Gleanings said, 

 in its issue for June 15th, that " Everything 

 seems to indicate a big honey crop this 

 summer." We hope that the final results 

 may be as good as are the indications, and 

 that bee-keepers may this year be well re- 

 paid for the great patience they have ex- 

 ercised dui'ing the past four or five poor 

 honey seasons. 



'Flie JVlicliigan Apiarian Exlti1>it 



at the World's Fair will yet do credit to 

 that great apd progressive State. Bro. 

 Cutting is pushing matters as rapidly as 

 possible, and if he can get the hearty co- 

 operation of all. the wide-awake bee-keepers 

 of Michigan, su.^cess will be assured. Here 

 is a letter we have received from him, 

 which should be carefully noted : 



In carefully looking over the statistics of 

 the different agricultural products of the 

 United States, I fl'nd that Michigan stands 

 at the head in many products. It is con- 

 ceded ttiat Michigaia produces some of the 

 finest honey, and that her exliibits of honey 

 have never been excelled in this country.
