White Clover Blossoming. 



I wintered all my bees out-doors and 

 all came through well and are doing fine. 

 I had two swarms this week. White 

 clover is just coming into blossom. The 

 prospects for a good flow are fine. 



P. D. Wine. 



Cherokee Co., Iowa, June 4. 



Working on the Mustard. 



White clover is just beginning to show 

 here and there. Bees are working on 

 mustard at present, which affords no 

 surplus, but allows the bees to "fatten 

 up" for white clover. H. G. QuiRiN. 



Huron Co., Ohio, May 8. 



Bees Starvin 



You may count this place a blank on 

 honey production this year. Bees are in 

 a starving condition now, and will have 

 to be fed if they survive the season. We 

 have had some showers but they came 

 loo late to affect the honey crop. The 

 grain and hay prospects have been im- 

 proved, and fruits never lookt better. 

 J. M. Hambaugh. 



San Diego Co., Calif., May 30. 



Good Crop Expected. 



The bees are as busy as they can be, 

 and they hum as loud as they know how. 

 The fruit-bloom of all kinds was just 

 immense. Now the red raspberries are 

 in bloom, and the white and Alsike clo- 

 vers are in blossom in great abundance ; 

 basswood is budding full for the first 

 time in two years. I had 18 colonies, 

 spring count, wintered in chaff hives, 

 with the loss of one colony. I had one 

 new swarm May 15, but none since. I 

 expect another any day. 



Long may the American Bee Journal 

 live and prosper. I could not do without 

 it. I have over 50 colonies to look after 

 this summer. I. D. Hyde.

Fetid Marigold. 



I send in a little box a nameless weed, 

 and two little samples of honey, the 

 larger bottle having the honey which is 

 all'ected by the weed, and the smaller 

 one is this season's honey which 1 would 

 like to have your opinion of, as to the 

 quality. We think it very fine, mostly 

 white clover. The natives here claim 

 that the bitter weed honey is fine for 

 coughs, colds and such like, and keep it 

 always on hand for that purpose. If 

 you should find any merit in it, and some 

 of your druggists would take hold of it, 

 I could furnish iiulte a lot of it by Aug- 

 ust or September. Our honey now in a 

 month or six weeks will have a bitter 

 taste from the weed.

Avoyelles Co., La., June 1. 



[We referred the plant and honey to 

 Mr. D. S. Heffron, an old-time botanist, 

 and now a bee-keeper, who reports as 

 follows : — Editor.]
