There is quite a good deal of sweet clover 

 around here. 



The bees were strong in the spring, and 

 had lots of honey. They seem to be strong 

 now, and ready for work, it there was any 

 thing tor them to do. 



Last year I got about 1,600 pounds of 

 honey. I sent a halt ton to a man in Brook- 

 lyn. NY., for 12 cents a pound here. About 

 I'o days after the shipment be made an as- 

 signment. I have never received one cent 

 for any of it; so it will make two poor years 

 for me— one by fraud and this season by 

 the severe drouth. 



There will not be any honey thru this 

 section. 



I think a good deal of the American Bee 

 Journal. It comes to me regularly every 

 Friday. I don't see how any bee-keeper can 

 get along without it or some other bee- 

 paper. I have learned one thing in the Bee 

 Journal this season that was worth the 

 year's subscription. Geo. H. Adkins. 



Essex Co., N. Y., July 1. 



Not Much Surplus Honey. 



June 1 we had from two to three inches 

 of rain, so bees will live over in this vicinity. 

 There will not be very much honey put on 

 the market this season, and it will be about 

 all consumed by the home market. 



M. D. Nichols. 



San Diego, Co., Calif,, June 19. 



Bees Not Doing Much. 



it is cold to day and no sight for bees. 

 They have been working somewliat at bass- 

 wood and other things, but 1 fear not much 

 more than getting a living. E. E. Hasty. 



Lucas Co., Ohio, July 8. 



Very Disappointing Year. 



We have had a very disappointing year 

 with our bees— excessive cold in February 

 and a continuous drought have ruined 

 this year's honey-crop, except in a few 

 favored locations. Claude Stert.

Honey Crop a Failupe. 



The honey crop is a failure in this section 

 of our country. H.B.Lambert. 



Simpson Co., Ky., July 8. 



Not a Favorable Season. 



We bee keepers here in Christian County 

 have had a very wet spring and early sum- 

 mer, and bees have not done very well. 

 There is not more than one colony of bees 

 here to where there were 10 five years ago. 

 It seems as if we do not have the honey- 

 flows we used to have. There was a good 

 supply of white clover bloom, and the bees 

 got enough to build up pretty well, but 

 there was little swarming and no surplus 

 to amount to much. There is now a good 

 prospect for a fall crop of smartweed. if we 

 have a season from now on. G. G. Large. 



Christian Co., III., July 10. 



Basswood Sliglited by Bees. 



I have bees, also a couple basswood trees 

 which have bloomed this year for the first 

 time. The blossoms on them are big. lus- 

 cious and fragrant. The bees are not more 

 than 50 feet away from the trees, and yet I 

 have watcht and waited hoping to see those 

 bees literally swarm over those inviting. 

 waxy blossoms, but not a bee have 1 seen 

 on them, X expected they would fall over 

 each other in getting there — but not a fall. 



Now. why was this thusly ? Do you sup- 

 pose that nectar was too rich for their aris- 

 tocratic blood, or was it just a trick of 

 theirs to deceive me ? I even took a limb 

 with a line lot of blooms, and put it right 

 in front of their hives. No, sirl they 

 wouldn't have it. 



Well, for the life of me, I don't know 

 what those Italians of mine do feed on this 

 year. The few heads of white clover in the
