incompetent inspector being appointed. 

 And while the law reads that the in- 

 spector shall visit all colonies of bees at 

 least once a year, it is interpreted to 

 mean that he shall visit all apiaries in 

 his county or district, and wherever he 

 may find any foul brood or kindred dis- 

 ease, he must eradicate it for the benefit 

 of the bee-keeper, and for the general 

 good of the industry. 



Whether this is satisfactory to Mr.Vol- 

 kert or not, I fail to see anything so very 

 monstrous in our law, which is intended 

 to encourage and protect the industry in 

 this State, and, as far as my experience 

 is concerned, it is doing so.

Too Wet Weather. 



Bees are in good condition for the 

 clovers, which are in bloom now. White 

 clover Is plentiful and very rank, but 

 the weather is too cloudy and wet for 

 yielding honey very much. Prospects 

 are favorable if the weather will be good 

 from now on. About one-half of the 

 linden trees are loaded with buds, and 

 will commence to bloom in about two 

 weeks, or before. They are fully two 

 weeks earlier than usual. All kinds of 

 crops look promising for a big harvest. 

 Some fields are getting too rank, and 

 will fall down if this profusely-growing 

 weather keeps on much longer. My bees 

 commenced swarming June S.

Poor Season Expected. 



Bees are doing very poorly here this 

 year. I expect a very poor season, as 

 the conditions seem to be against the 

 bees. Geo. M. Stinebring.

Miles Has No Smiles. 



Mr. Editor : — Please say to your read- 

 ers that old Iowa is wet, wetter wettest; 

 and while clover and basswood look 

 extra nice, we are afraid if it doesn't 

 stop raining soon it will be a Water — loo. 

 The ground is white with clover bloom, 

 yet the bees have killed their drones and 

 thrown out drone-brood. Will it pay to 

 feed ? Brethren, what say you ?

Feeding Sealed Honey. 



I have kept bees for over 30 years, 

 and for the past 25 years I have taken 

 every tenth hive for a bank of deposit 

 for the rest. My object has been to feed 

 only sealed comb honey. If a colony 

 needs honey it is better to feed it in this 

 way than in liquid form, as in the latter 

 method it stimulates brood-rearing, 

 therefore requiring more feed. It is 

 better to contract the hive of a weak 

 colony by dummies or sealed frames of 

 honey, and thus prevent brood-rearing 

 beyond the ability of the colony to pro- 

 vide for itself. 



I have been induced to write the above 

 on account of the practice of iiost of the 

 bee-keepers here in California, especially 

 in this dry year when there is no honey 

 in sight, and most of the bee-keepers 

 will have to feed their bees to save them. 



It is the practice here by most of the 

 extracted honey men, to leave their ex- 

 tracting-combs ou the hive throughout 

 the year. Wheu this is done the queen 

 has unlimited room to rear bees, to eat
