Bees a Failure— Prospects Not Goo 1

 good for next season. B. Volkering.

Bee Journal a Great Help. 



1 am more than pleased with the Bee 

 Journal. It has been a great help to me. 

 I would have it if the price were two dol- 

 lars per year. Robt. Nortman.

Bees Did Well. 



Bees have done well here this year. 

 White clover was fine. Tne fall crop was 

 not so good as last year, being too dry. 

 Bees are in good condition for wintering.

Best Honey from Cotton-Bloom. 



The honey-flow in this part of Texas was 

 excellent. The best honey we get is from 

 the cotton-bloom. We credit our success 

 to the American Bee Journal

Good for Arkansas. 



I had six colonies, spring count, took ofl 

 1,000 pounds, and increast to 10 colonies. 

 I took the prize on fine comb honey at our 

 county fair. How is that for Arkansas, 

 where bee-culture is in its infancy?

Made a Good Record. 



My bees made a good record the past 

 season. From 19 colonies, spring count. I 

 secured 2.400 pounds of honey, all comb but 

 140 pounds— in round numbers 136 pounds 

 per colony. I increast to 43. Not bad for 

 Cook county, is it ? G. W. Stephenson. 



Cook Co., 111. 



A Valuable Kind of " Weed." 



My report is as follows : 10 colonies, 

 spring count, and received .500 pounds of 

 nice white clover honey, besides increasing 

 to 33 colonies. 1 can't get along without 

 the American Bee Journal. 



Carroll Co., 111. Geo. W. Weed. 



Drouth and Frost. 



I started last spring with 33 colonies, had 

 17 swarms, and got about 300 pounds of 

 white clover honey, when the drouth set in 

 and the flow stopt until fall, then I got SOO 

 pounds of honey. I would have gotten 

 more if the frost had not killed the smart- 

 weed, which was in its prime at that time.

A Lady Bee-Keeper's Report.

 dition. From IS colonies last sjiring 1 in- 

 creast to 41, and have 450 pounds of surplus 

 honey, and an aliundance of winter stores 

 for all. This is not a large yield of surplus 

 for this country, but an average crop. The
