seven at a time. Tbey look so much like 

 bumble-bees that most folks dont know the 

 difference. I have seen them with bees 

 which they had caught, also horse flies and 

 bugs. They look and fly very much like 

 the drone of the bumble-bee, but come in 

 June instead of toward fall.

Half the Bees Lost in Winter. 



The bees that got thru the winter are 

 doing finely here now. They will be swarm- 

 ing in a few days. White clover is com- 

 mencing to bloom, and there will be a fine 

 crop of it. Fully ."id percent of the bees here 

 were killed in the cold-snap we had in Feb- 

 ruary. 



I cannot get along without the old Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal. W. L. Smithey.

(This Cut is the Full Size of the Knife.) 



Your Name on the Knife.— When ordering, be sure to say just what nanle and address you 

 ■wish put on the Knife. 



The Novelty Knife is indeed a novelty. The novelty lies in the handle. It is made beautifully 

 ■of indestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as glass. Underneath the celluloid, on one side 

 of the handle is placed the name and residence of the Subscriber. 



The Material entering- into this celebrated knife is of the very best quality; the blades are 

 hand-forged out of the very finest Eng-lish razor-steel, and we warrant every blade. The bolsters 

 are made of German silver, and will never rust or corrode. The rivets are hardened German silver 

 wire; the linings are plate brass: the back springs of Sheffield spring-steel, and the finish of the 

 handle as described above. It will last a lifetime, with proper usage. 



Why Own the Novelty Knife? Incaseagood knife is lost, the chances are the ownerwill 

 never recover it; but if the Novelty is lost, having- name and address of owner, the finder will re- 

 turn it; otherwise to try to destroy'the name and address, would destroy the knife. If traveling-, 

 and you meet with a serious accident, and are so fortunate as to have one of the Novelties, 3"our 

 Pocket-Knife will serve as an identifier; and in case of death, your relatives will at om'.e be ap- 

 prised of the accident. 



How appropriate this knife is for a present '. What more lasting memento could .1 mother 

 g-ive to a son, a wife to a husband, a sister to a brother, or a lady to a grcntleman, the knife having j 

 the name of the recipient on one side? 



The accompanying cut gives a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an exact representation of 

 this beautiful knife, as the " Novelty " must be seen to be appreciated. 



How to Get this Valuable Knife.— We send it postpaid for $1.25, or give it as a Premium to the 

 one sending us THREE new subsckibers to the Bee Journal (with $3.00), and we will also send to 

 -each new name a copy of the Premium Edition of the book. Bees and Honey. We will club the 

 Novelty Knife and the Bee Journal for one year, both for $1.90.

Good Ppospeets fop Honey. 



The prospects are (joud for honey this 

 year. White clover and motherwort are 

 yielding honey very profusely at present; 

 linden will bloom shortly. It was a tough 

 winter on bees here. J lost about one-third 

 of mine, and my neighbors nearly all they 

 bad. I sell my honey for 10. li'.V and 15 

 cents a pound; my neighbors sell theirs for 

 S and 10 cents, and it is a slow go at that — 

 chunk honey taken from the old fashioned 

 "gum." Will J. Evans.

Wintered Out-Doors Without Loss. 



My bees came thru the winter full and 

 strong on the summer stands, without any 

 loss. They brought me the last honey and 

 pollen Nov. 23, 189S, and the first this year 

 on April 10. The winter for bees was 

 nearly one month longer than last. My 

 first swarm came out May 23, only three 

 days later than last year. I have bad 

 swarms every day since. After 60 years 

 among the bees I have learned how to win- 

 ter them on the summer stands without any 

 loss. The method is easy and sure. There 

 should be no loss of bees during the winter 

 months. Davu) H. Metcalf. 



Calhoun Co., Mich., June 6. 



[ We should be pleased to give your win- 

 tering method a place in these columns, 

 Mr. Metcalf. — Editor. 1 



Basswood Will be Late. 



The prospect for a honey crop is good 

 here. Clover is blooming now. and so far 

 the bees have workt on it. tho it cannot be 

 depended upon. Basswood is full of buds, 

 but it will be late this year. It is a pity so 

 many bees have died — I think more than 

 half in this section. Some bee-keepers lost 

 all they had. Surely, honey will bring a 

 better price. Gustave Gkoss. 



Vernon Co., Wis., June 11. 



Heavy Loss of Bees in Winter. 



I can't get along very well without the 

 old American Bee Journal. 



There was a heavy loss of bees in this 

 locality last winter. I got thru the winter 

 very well. My bees were on the summer 

 stands, and I lost 7 colonies out of 80. My 

 bees are in very good shape, and not 

 swarming much. D. J. MclNxnRF. 



Harlan Co., Nebr., June 9. 



Best Honey-Flow in Six Years. 



We have not had such an unprecedented 

 flow of honey since 1S93. Ever since spring 

 opened the flow has been almost continu- 

 ous. 1 commenced keeping bees in 1S63, 

 and have been at it more or less ever since. 

 1 began in 189S with 6 colonies, wintered 1.5
