I was just going to ask a question, but 

 upon picking up the Bee Journal of March 

 9, 1SS9, I found Dr. Miller bad answered it.

An Old Bee-Keepep. 



I have been more or less in the bee-busi- 

 ness since 1S49. In moving several times! 

 sold my bees, but now I have a new supply 

 again. I cannot afford to stay out of the 

 bee-business, nor do without the Bee Jour- 

 nal. 



I have a new machiue to fold sections. I 

 set it on the table, and can fold them as 

 fast as I can handle them — no breaking.

Hard On California Bee-Keepers. 



We California bee-keepers have a hard 

 time of it. We have had two seasons of 

 failure in succession, and the coming sea- 

 son is not promising. We have lost all our 

 work and 50 percent of the bees, and have 

 the expense of feeding the balance. Last 

 season they stored a little surplus houey, 

 but it will take all that, and perhaps more, 

 to carry them thru the winter. I estimate 

 that by the time the next season opens, 

 taking in the last two seasons. 70 percent 

 of the bees in Southern California will have 

 perisht. We bee-keepers had to hustle 

 around to get other jobs In order to make a 

 living C. B. ScnKOCK.

Bees in the Cellar. 



The American Bee Journal is all right. 

 We have just put all our bees into the cel- 

 lar. We had three inches of snow yester- 

 day morning, but each one of our hives has 

 a good-sized cover over all to keep off the 

 sun and storm, so they were just as dry as 

 before the storm. Miss Myba Sntdek.

More than Enough for Wintering. 



My bees brought in honey during Sep- 

 tember and October — honey from white 

 sweet clover and buckwheat, enough for 

 wintering and for family use.

No Honey This Year. 



Our bees did not produce any honey this 

 season, and a great many colonies were en- 

 tirely lost in August; they are mostly all 

 very light in bees to go into winter.

Euphorbia— Is It a New Plant? 



A neighbor of mine recently called my 

 attention to the honey-producing qualities 

 of a plant called " Euphorbia," which his 

 wife was raising for the seed, which she 

 sells to florists, as it is a very ornamental 

 plant and will remain fresh for a long time 

 if kept moist; some branches, with flowers, 

 that I broke off about four weeks ago and 

 placed in water continued to yield honey 

 for a whole week, and are yet fresh and 

 green. 



The flowers are very peculiar. Thert 

 are no petals, but the leaves which sur- 

 round them are either entirely or partly 

 colored a bright red. The first appearance 

 of a flower is a small knob about the size of 

 a grain of wheat, on the side of which is 

 attacht an oval-shaped cup in which the 

 nectar is secreted. At the end of the knob 

 appear the stamens and pistils, and later, 

 a pod attacht to a short stem and contain- 

 ing three seeds. When ripe, the pod bursts, 

 and throws the seeds sometimes a rod or 

 two. The bees revel on the blossoms from 

 morning till night, and in this locality
