Bees Doing Well. 



Bees are doinK splendidly In this sec- 

 tion. There are indications of a great 

 honey crop this year. All we want is for 

 the weather to continue favorable. 

 White clover is very abundant. They 

 say there has not been anything lilfe it 

 for years — it is simply clover everywhere. 

 Sweet clover also is of great promise. I 

 will write later. H. A. Small.

Bees Help the Peach Crop. 



Our bees have not as much honey as 

 they had a month ago. It is so showery. 

 The flow here from fruit-bloom was very 

 light. I have had only one swarm to 

 date. Our peach-trees are very full of 

 fruit, while those of our neighbors fiave 

 but few, owing, no doubt, in part, to the 

 close proximity of the bees. ^^

Wet Weather — Loss by Old Q,ueens. 



I am very much pleased with the Bee 

 Journal ; it has been of practical val'je 

 to me, and that is what counts. My 

 winter and spring loss in bees this year 

 has been the heaviest since I have been 

 ifeeping bees — six years — nearly 40 per 

 cent. Old queens were mostly the cause. 

 What bees I have left are all strong, and 

 doing as well as the wet spring weather 

 will let them. P. E. Henry.

Utah's Foul Brood Law. 



On page 332, Mr.Volkert, of Virginia, 

 after offering a few comments on the 

 above law, asks if I would tell why 

 Utah's bee-keepers can't guard them- 

 selves as well as an inspector. 



In the first place I would ask Mr. V. 

 how the bee-keepers of any State could 

 interfere with the bees of any person, no 

 matter how desperate the case, or how 

 much his own bees might need protec- 

 tion ? What could be done without some 

 law for their protection and guidance ? 

 If all bee-keepers were educated or in- 

 formed in regard to this matter there 

 would be no trouble, but unfortunately 

 they are not, and to think that they will 

 be is too much to expect in the near 

 future. We know of too many instances 

 where bee-keepers, or rather bee-owners, 

 having bees in box-hives, that became 

 diseased and spread the same through- 

 out the neighborhood, causing much 

 trouble and loss; hence the necessity, at 

 least as far as Utah's bee-keepers are 

 concerned, of having a law that will pro- 

 tect the bee-industry, 



I called on a bee-keeper having a large 

 apiary, who came from a State less than 

 a thousand miles from where Mr. V. 

 lives, and altho he Is a bee-keeper of -10 

 years' experience, I found him actually 

 dividing foul-broody colonies. The re- 

 sult was that I received the thanks of 

 the bee-keeper in question, and others in 

 the neighborhood. 



As the Utah law requires that all the 

 inspectors shall bo nominated or peti- 

 tioned for by the bee-keepers them- 

 selves, there is not much danger of an
