THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



quite thin sugar syrup. Although it 

 rains every otlier day, white clover is 

 plenty and is yielding honey remark- 

 ably well— people come along and tell 

 me my beee are swarming. The air 

 is melodious with their joyful hum, 

 the combs are being lengthened out 

 very fast along the top-bars. To- 

 morrow I shall put on a good many 

 cases of sections. All kinds of vege- 

 tables are at least three or four weeks 

 late. We are pretty sure now of about 

 2% months of fine white clover bloom. 

 Heartsease, one of the best of honey 

 plants with us, is very plenty in wet 

 cornfields, and is there to stay. I feel 

 as though my prospects were never 

 better for a (/oocZ, hiq honey crop. I 

 think swarming will commence in 

 about a week or ten days. 1 am more 

 than pleased with the Bee Journal. 

 I admire the way you sting adultera- 

 tors. I inclose a few Osage orange 

 blossoms. The bees work on them 

 very eagerly. Philip P. Nelson. 

 Manteno, 111., June 21, 1882. 



A Screen to Protect from Robbers. — 



I make », frame of 1x2 inch strips, 

 3x6 feet, and 6 feet high ; line it all 

 around with mosquito bar; put an 

 oil-cloth on top to darken it, and put 

 a door in one end, with wire-screen 

 or mosquito bar covering, and hang 

 it on hinges, as yon would a screen 

 door. When robber bees are around 

 and I want to open a hive, I place 

 this over the hive, go in and shut the 

 door. When done, move the screen 

 from over the hive, and all will be 

 safe. J. T. Bruton. 



Joplin, Mo. 



Working on White Clover.— Bees are 



doing finely now, and have worked on 

 white clover since June 10. To-day 

 the weather is cold and chilling, with 

 rain. Had my first swarm June 16. 

 I will have new extracted honey in a 

 few days. G. J. Pammel. 



La Crosse, AVis., June 19, 1882. 



Early Swarming.— I had a swarm of 

 bees, a very large one, tlie 30th day of 

 May. It looked queer to see a swarm 

 of bees flying in the air when the 

 trees were" not yet leaved out, though 

 the dandelions were in blossom. My 

 bees are in fine condition, storing 

 honey from raspberry blossoms in 

 sections, of which tliere is an abund- 

 ance. G. H. Adams. 



North Nassau, N. Y., June 19, 1882. 



Satisfied with Prospects.— I have 18

 now. George Kimb.
