but not as profusely as last year, and I 

 think bees do not gather so much honey 

 from it as last year. We can only hope 

 yet for basswood, which is going to 

 bloom soou. August Buchhagen. 



Jefferson Co., Ohio, June 27. 



Everything Looks Favorable. 



My 350 colonies of bees are in fine 

 condition, working now on white clover. 

 Basswood will begin to bloom about 

 July 1. At present everything looks 

 favorable for a large honey crop.
