 grown up to brush again. 



After a cold. wet. backward spring, white 

 clover blooQied abundantly and bees did 

 fairly well on it It is now past, and the 

 first crop of Alsike is also cut. Basswood 

 seemed to yield some this year, but my 

 bees were out of range of it, so they did 

 not get the benefit Our only hope now i» 

 in the golden rods, which are just now be-

 harvest of rich, golden honey, which we 

 hope they will yield ' in the sweet bye and

Crow Wing Co., Minn., Aug. 4. 



[The plant is probably prairie clover — 

 Kuhnistera [lurpurea or Fetalostemon pur- 

 purea of Gray's Botany. The absence ot 

 leaves makes its certain iJentification im- 

 possible. Yet. with little doubt it is the 

 above. It extends from Manitoba to Texas, 

 and west to the Rocky Mountains, but is 

 not reported west of this range, so far as I 

 can learn. I have never heard of its being 

 a bee-plant before, but I should expect it to 

 yield nectar, from its relatives. — A. J. 

 Cook.] 



Almost No Honey. 



This is the first year that I got almost no 

 honey. There was altogether too much 

 rain, and always at the time of a honey- 

 flow. 



I send you a willowweed plant. If you 

 are careful you can unwind the plant with- 

 out breaking the connections. The plant is 

 12 feet il inches long, Hekman Ahleks,

[The plant is received, and it is indeed a 

 long sample. It unwound all right. Thank 

 you,— Editok,] 



Large vs. Small Hives. 



There is one point in the article by Mr. 

 Getaz on the above sub.iect. on page .561, 

 that he ignores. He allows prominence to 

 the idea that a person who uses an 8-frame 

 hive never allows the queen to occupy any 

 more room than is provided by the eight 

 frames, and in ignoring this expansion 

 feature it looks as if he were trying to make 

 a case for the large hive. 



When the bees in an S frame hive come 

 out strong in the spring, as they surely will 

 it wintered right, it -.vill transpire that in a 

 short time the bees become so crowded for 

 room that a super with brood-combs is 

 added, the bees and the queen immediately 

 taking possession, and a good queen, such 

 as all bee-keepers should have, will soon fill
