years here, and the bees have workt on it 

 very little. How does it do in Michigan, 

 say about Oceana and Mason Counties ? 

 How is that county for bees, anyhow ? 

 l_ I have just been down in Florida, but I 

 could not recommend it iu any way except 

 for health, water aud climate.

Had a Good Season. 



We had a good season with the bees this 

 year. My best colony produced 144 one- 

 pound sections of honey. Of course we 

 give the American Bee Journal credit for 

 part it not all of our success. 



I have in the cellar now 33 colonies, all 

 of which I think are in good condition for 

 winter.

Bees' Earnings Satisfactory. 



For some years I have been handling 

 bees as an amateur. Last season my colo- 

 nies had so increast that I purchast others 

 and establisht an apiary, having now be- 

 tween 70 and SO colonies. The spring and 

 early summer were too rainy for the best 

 results; but, after all, the earnings of my 

 work'ers were satisfactory. In this new in- 

 dustry I have found the Bee Journal of 

 great value. Its information is practical 

 and useful in a high degree.

A Very Poor Season. 



I have 55 colonies of choice-bred Italian 

 bees wintering on the summer stands, and 

 all seem to be in good condition yet. The 

 past was a very poor honey season. I had 

 only about a third of a crop, and that all 

 buckwheat, but of the very best quality. 

 A great many bee-keepers did not even get 

 a third of a crop, but nothing.

Poor Honey-Year, Etc. 



It has been a poor honey-year with us. I 

 had 10 colonies, spring count, and have 17 

 packt on the summer stands for winter. 

 Not half an average crop of honey this fall.
