Whooping' Up on Basswood. 



Bees are booming. I have taken 

 4,000 pounds to date, and I am In the 

 midst of the basswood flow. I have 

 taken off 2,000 pounds the last 7 days 

 from 100 colonies. .1. Messisger.

Too Wet for Honey. 



The honey crop so far is short. Like 

 In all other localities, there was a pro- 

 fusion of white clover, but too wet to 

 secrete nectar. We had a copious rain 

 last night which will help the fall crop.

Working on Acorns. 



Clover bloomed well but did not yield 

 much honey. I think It was too wet in 

 the spring, and it is too dry at present, 

 but there Is still some white clover In 

 bloom in the low places. Bees did not 

 swarm much in this locality — had only 

 six natural swarms from ti5 colonies, 

 spring count. They are storing some 

 honey in the surplus departments, but It 

 is dark lu color. This dark honey must 

 come from the acorns. Five years ago I 

 got some dark honey that I thought 

 came from flax. But it was awfully 

 dark, and of peculiar flavor. Corn Is
