 why, then, should it not be preferred,

 Would bees rather enter a super above 

 the brood-chamber than one at the side?

Bees Doing Poorly. 



Bees are doing poorly. It was too wet 

 in the spring, and too dry and cold now. 

 I have 29 colonies, and will get about 

 200 pounds of honey.

Not Half a Crop. 



The bee and honey business is under a 

 cloud in this vicinity this season. After 

 the abundant rains we were expecting a 

 good crop, as we have white and sweet 

 clover in abundance. But so far there 

 has been but little swarming, and many 

 bee-men report no surplus honey. We 

 have bad good rains and may yet get a 

 fair crop from fall flowers and buck- 

 wheat. It is now safe to say, tho, that 

 the crop in this county will not be one- 

 half of last year's. Kankakee. 



Kankakee Co., III., Aug. 1. 



Honey Crop Very Good. 



The honey crop is very good, with re- 

 spect to both quantity and quality. We 

 dispose of our surplus atour door — comb, 

 12>-2 cents ; extracted, 10 cents per 

 pound. Our prices, like the laws of the 

 Medes and Persians, are unchangeable, 

 wet or dry, hot or cold.

Wet Season. 



The season was so wet here that the 

 bees did not do much in apple-bloom, 

 but white alover and basswood were 

 good. There is a dry time now that 

 seems to have stopt the honey-flow, but 

 bees seem to be busy carrying pollen 

 from corn and hemp. W. A. Savage. 



Sauk Co., Wis., July 27. 



Poor Honey Crop. 



The honey crop In this locality has 

 been poor — very little surplus — tho bees 

 are in fine condition, and the conditions 

 have been fine for queen-rearing, that 

 being a small amount of honey coming 

 In all the time, sufHcient to lieep up the 

 proper excitement, and no inclination 

 to want to rob, tho we are having a 

 great deal of rain. I can leave honey 

 exposed in my apiary of 150 colonies 

 without any trouble.

Top Ventilation of Hives. 



In nearly every edition of the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal some reference is made 

 to the ventilation of the hives. Many of 

 the bee-keepers say they wedge the 

 cover of the hive up on sticks. 



I have edgewise cleats across the ends 

 of my hive-covers, and to give ventila- 

 tion the rear end of the cover is raised a 

 little and shoved forward until the rear 

 cleat rests on the hive. This gives an 

 abundant amount of ventilation, and one 

 does not have to be bothered with carry- 

 ing around a handful of wedges, and 

 which are eternally being misplaced. 

 In the event of a storm, and the bee-
