Short Crop of Honey. 



The honey crop will be short here this 

 year — not half as much as last. Rees 

 are In good condition, very little swarm- 

 ing this year, as well as little honey. 

 What honey I have taken is very fine, 

 all white clover. We may get some 

 honey in September and October from 

 asters, but it will be dark.

Clipping Device — Wired Frames. 



The Monette queen-cllpping device is 

 a good thing for catching and clipping 

 queens. At times, however, a number 

 of bees are caged with the queen, which 

 often go up the cone before the queen, 

 and delay work somewhat. The wooden 

 stopper could not be pulled out to let 

 those bees out, as the tin strips coming 

 from the tin bottom are fastened to it. 

 I therefore made an Improvement on 

 mine. I unwound some of the top of the 

 cone and bent It on two sides at right 

 angles with the cone, forming a T ; to 

 these I fastened the strips of tin. In 

 this way the wooden stopper Is free to be 

 removed when letting out bees that run 

 up the cone before the queen. If the de- 

 vice Is made this way I think it is twice 

 as good.
