THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL, 



June 16 , 



they have been swarming ever since. It 

 makes him feel glad to have a swarm 

 before I do, but I askt him if he had any 

 honey yet, and he said no. So I told him 

 to come over and I would show him some 

 new honey. I have about lUO pounds 

 of honey stored in the sections. I have 

 only sis colonies, but I don't let them 

 swarm. I give them lots of room.

Marinette Co., Wis., June 5. 



Cool Weather. 



I came here this morning with 117 

 pounds of comb honey, and sold it. I drew 

 it from four hives on the 29th. Our flow 

 is not as good as last year. Honey- 

 blooms are limited this year, except sour- 

 wood, and yellow, or chittim, wood. 

 Nearly all of April was cool and cold, 

 four days of cool weather in the full 

 moon in May. There is very little swarm- 

 ing this season. By the middle of July 

 our summer harvest will be over. The 

 cool weather was our drawback this 

 spring. John M. Ryan.
