pecially if empty frames be kept near the 

 entrance. Bemg so large, as a rule, they 

 will not need to be extracted from more 

 than once in a season. In those two items 

 there are great gains to the bee keeper. 

 But the large box is an expense, probably 

 no more so than two 8 or 10 frame hives. 

 And there is an awkwardness in handling 

 them, the sideways leaning to take a frame 

 out. For several mentioned reasons a few 

 long-ideal hives are an advantage in any 

 apiary, and very useful for out-apiaries."

I have bad very good success with my 

 bees. I lost two colonies last winter, had 

 three left, and have 10 now, and got about 

 7.5 pounds of honey. Hannah E. Hess.

Crop Almost a Total Failure. 



The honey crop was almost a total fail- 

 ure here. Bees secured enough to winter 

 on, provided we cellar them in good shape; 

 but the colonies are very light in bees this 

 fall, owing to the queens not working dur- 

 ing the August dearth of honey. We need 

 not be surprised if SO to 7.5 percent of the 

 bees perish where wintered on the summer 

 stands without extra protection.

Bees Did Fairly Well. 



The bees have used me fairly well this 

 season, considering that it has been a poor 

 one for our warm-hearted pets, taking the 

 State as a whole. The spring was back- 

 ward and cool here with plenty of wind. 

 My bees wintered finely, and came out 

 strong in numbers, but they just held their 

 own until June, when the clover bloom 

 came, and wet weather came with it. 

 About June 1.5 good weather came, and 

 with it the swarmiug-fever, and swarm 

 they would out of empty supers and almost 

 empty hives. Still, 1 secured SOU pounds of 

 comb honey of the best quality, from 1.5 

 colonies, spring count, and increast to 30, 

 besides having two large swarms take 

 Horace Greeley's advice and " go west." I 

 attempted to go with them, but as I am 

 obliged to wear a No. 10 coarse, leather 

 boot, at times, 1 was unable to persuade 



Yellow Sweet Clover Seed 



WE HAVE IT AT LAST 1 

 We have finally succeeded in getting- a small 

 quantity of the seed of the yellow variety of 

 sweet clover. This kind blooms from two to 

 four weeks earlier than the common or white 

 variety of sweet clover. It also grows much 

 sViorter, only about two feet in hight. It is as 

 much visited by the bees as the white, and usu- 

 ally comes into bloom ahead of white clover 

 and basswood. We offer the seed as a premium 



A QUARTER POUND FOR SENDING 

 ONE NEW SUBSCRIPTION. 



So long as it lasts, we will mail a quarter 

 pound of the seed to a legular paid-up subscri- 

 ber who sends us ONE NEW subscriber for the 

 American Bee Journal for 1900, with 31.00. 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 per- 

 sonal friend of ours, so we know it is all right. 

 But we have only a small supply. When nearly 

 out we will tnention it.
