small so far. During the basswood sea- 

 son the flow of honey was good, but 

 since then the bees have not stored as 

 much as they have consumed. 



From 175 colonies I have taken some 

 1,500 pounds this season, and It Is all 

 nice honey, but many of the colonies are 

 light, and will need much more honey to 

 wiuter on. They swarmed freely this 

 season, sending out big swarms which 

 gained in weight rapidly, but everything 

 has come to a standstill all atonce. We 

 have had plenty of rain and there seems 

 to be a great many wild flowers In blos- 

 som. B. M. BULLARD.

Has Been a Poor Season. 



The season has been a poor one thus 

 far, but if the weather and rains con- 

 tinue during the summer the next sea- 

 son will be a good one, as white clover is 

 coming up everywhere.

Extremely Poor Season. 



The season for honey has been ex- 

 tremely poor In this locality. I was 

 obliged to feed the bees just at the time 

 that white clover ought to have been 

 doing Its best. H. G. Quikin. 



Huron Co., Ohio, Aug. 12. 



Honey liike Iiubricating Oil. 



I have taken ofif a small quantity of 

 hooey — a mixture of white clover, bass- 

 wood and honey-dew — looking more like 

 oil that has been used for lubricating 

 Iron shafting than anything else I can 

 think of ; and of course totally unsal- 

 able. Very poor season this, yet I feel 

 satisfied, for I'm paid as the days pass. 



i look with Interest fpr the arrival of 

 the American Bee Journal each week and 

 usually finish reading It at a sitting. I 

 am anxious to know, you know, what 

 the "old bee-cranks" have to say, even 

 if I don't believe it all.

Bees Doing Well, Etc. 



My bees are doing well this year. I 

 have taken 60 pounds of surplus honey 

 to the hive, up to date. Our honey crop 

 doesn't come in till July. We get our 

 most and best honey, alfalfa, as sweet 

 clover has but just got started in this 

 part of the country. We also have the 

 American bee-weed here, but the bees 

 do not work on that much this year. 



There are quite a number of bee- 

 keepers here, but they do not want to 

 take any bee-paper. They expect to 

 make a success in the business by the 

 experience and knowledge of their 

 neighbors, and if one doesn't come up to
