Harvested a Fair Crop. 



I have had a very busy summer with 

 my bees. They have harvested a fair 

 crop of white honey, but unless we have 

 rain soon, there will be no fall honey 

 here. I have some very fine white honey 

 but it is selling slowly. 



I am much interested in the new 

 Union, and will send Mr. Secor my dol- 

 lar for membership fee as soon as honey 

 gets to selliuK a little faster. 



I will give the report of my honey har- 

 vest later. The Bee .Journal comes 

 promptly every Thursday, and is ever 

 welcome. Mn.s. Paul Barrette.

Not a Bad Report. 



My bees have retrieved themselves 

 somewhat this year. I have taken off 

 lOy pounds from three colonies so far, 

 which is not bad, considering the num- 

 ber of bees in this locality.

■Very Light Crop. 



I am located in a good honey-produc- 

 ing locality, and generally the bees find 

 plenty of forage, but this year I will 

 have to mingle my voice with the com- 

 plaining, for the honey-crop has been
