more of her brood being capt as drone- 

 brood, so I pincht ber head. 



Now, I cannot tell the cause of it, but she 

 simply could not manage the machine — it 

 "just laid itself," and she could not con- 

 trol it. I might have been to blame for 

 this, but it was not for the want of bees, I 

 am sure. 



One other of this lot of queens came from 

 the cell on the 11th day from the time the 

 cells were grafted, and was laying at 10 

 days of age. I kept her until I had a very 

 good colony of drones, as fully two-thirds 

 of her brood were drones. What is the 

 matter with me ? They were for my own 

 use. T. B. BowNDS.

The Ontario Association's Meeting. 



The executive committee ot the Ontario 

 Bee-Keepers' Association met in the city of 

 Ottawa, Ont., Sept. 20, and set the date for 

 its annual meeting for Dec. 5, 6 and 7, 1899, 

 in the city of Toronto, and has arranged an 

 excellent program. It is hoped that a 

 grand reunion of bee keepers from all parts 

 of Canada and the United States will be 

 held there, and all join in the discussions. 

 No doubt that satisfactory arrangements 

 can be made with the various railways for 

 reasonable rates, and all persons interested 

 in the production or consumption of honey 

 are hereby cordially invited to attend.

Nothing from Clover and Basswood. 



The white clover promist a good yield of 

 honey last spring, but, like last year, it 

 gave us nothing. The linden trees were 

 full of bloom with honey, but at that time 

 it rained so much around here that my bees 

 gathered very little of that. I must have 

 lost thousands of my bees at that time by 

 their venturing out in the drizzling rain, or 

 being overtaken suddenly by a heavy 

 shower, because my best colonies were re- 

 duced in numbers quite perceptibly when 

 the linden bloom was over. 



This fall was a little better than the sum- 

 mer; my bees workt quite lively for 3 or 4 

 weeks. They brought home enough for 

 themselves to winter on and a little for 

 their owner, but nothing to brag about.
