"The aphides are of necessity always at 

 the top of the trees or of the plants. If 

 they were scattered all over, the excretions 

 of the ones above would daub and smother 

 the others." 



•'A ICad I-ealc" is what E. E. Hasty 

 in Gleanings in Bee-Culture styles the loss 

 that he thinks comes from the belief that 

 prime swarms do not issue before 9 am. nor 

 after 2 p m. In a large apiary there is such 

 a general roar thruout the day that the ad- 

 ditional noise ot a single swarm is hardly 

 noticed unless the bee keeper is keenly on 

 the watch for swarms, and he will not be 

 keenly on the watch at a time of day when 

 he believes no swarms will issue. So he 

 thinks many a swarm leaves for the woods 

 before and after the traditional hours for 

 prime swaniis. Of the last 6 prime swarms 

 that issued for him. one issued at 9:80 a.m., 

 two at 11 am , two at 3 p m., and one at 

 4:20 p m. He thinks it a good plan to make 

 a careful search of trees and other cluster- 

 ing-places once or twice in mid-afternoon, 

 and again just before dark. Chopping 

 down some trees and thinning out others 

 would help to make the searching easier.

Won by Good Management. 



During the past season I obtained from 

 .54 colonies, spring count, 2. .500 pounds of 

 extracted honey, and increast to 74 colo- 

 nies, but by good management I got it, as 

 honey here is almost a total failure. 



Our home of late has been cast into deep 

 mourning, by the death of "Johnny," a 

 bright little boy of S years, in which our 

 hearts and pride rested.

Poop Season in Vepmont. 



This has been quite a poor honey season 

 in Vermont, being hot. cold, wet and dry. 

 Basswood was no good in Vermont for the 

 bees this year, and yet I never saw the 

 trees. little and great, so full of blossoms.

Yellow Sweet Clover Seed ! 



We have it at Last ! 



We have finally succeeded in getting a SMALLquantitj- of the seed of the YELLOW variety of sweet 

 clover. This kind blooms from two to fotir weeks earlier than the common or white variety of sweet clover. 

 It also grows inuch shorter, only about two feet in hight. It is as tnuch visited by the bees as the white, 

 and usually comes into bloom ahead of white clover and basswood. We offer the seed as a premium — 



A (|iiarter Pound for Soiidiiig One New Snhscriplion. 



So long as it lasts, we will mail a quarter pound of the seed to a regular paid-up subscriber who sends 

 us ONE NEW subscriber for the American Bee Journal for 1900, with $1.00. We will also " throw in " the 

 balance of 1899 to such new subscriber. Surely, this is a great offer. We have been trying for years to 

 secure this seed, and finally succeeded in getting it. It is new seed, gathered this season by an old personal 

 friend of ours, so we know it is all right. But we have only a small supply. When nearly out we will 



mention it.
