Hives Loaded with Honey. 



Bees are doing wonders here. They are 

 done swarming, and their hives are loaded 

 with rich honey. A. J. Bird. 



Dos Palos, Calif. , May 25. 



Linden Killed by the Frost. 



Linden will not yield honey this season 

 here. The frost has killed the buds. Our 

 only hope for honey of fine quality now lies 

 in clover. T. F. Bingham.

A Successful Year Promised, 



I have 152 colonies of bees, all doing 

 finely. I extract about 40 pounds per col- 

 ony weekly. White sage and wild alfalfa 

 are in abundance. This promises to be 

 quite a successful year for the honey out- 

 put. Catharine M. Gray. 

 Los Angeles, Calif., May 35. 



Poor Prospect for Honey. 



We received no honey in this neighbor- 

 hood last year. It was too dry, and the 

 flowers secreted no nectar. My 68 colonies, 

 in the spring, were reduced till autumn to 

 ,53. At this time I have 49 colonies in fair 

 condition. The prospect for honey this 

 year is bad. The white clover — our honey- 

 plant — is gone, or is in very weak condi- 

 tion. Wm. Adix. 



Buck Creek, Iowa. May 39. 



The Mission of the Bees, 



In reading the beautiful poem, entitled, 

 "The Hum of the Bees in Spring," by P. 

 D. Wallace, on page 341, I thought justice 

 to the bee required something like this, 

 that I added, and he is welcome to use it if 

 he wishes : 



But the true mission .of bees 



Is to visit the trees, 

 And distribute the pollen of flowers, 



That the fruits may mature, 



And the gardener be sure 

 Of returns from his trees and his bowers.

Report on Wintering', Etc. 



I had 13 colonies of bees last fall, two of 

 them being the 5-bauded Italians. I win- 

 tered all 13. I have 20 good colonies. I 

 have bought 4 Italian queens and intro- 

 duced them all right. It was my first trial. 

 My average crop last year from black bees 

 was 50 pounds to the colony. 



I wintered all my bees on the summer 

 stands, the hives wrapped with cotton bat- 

 ten. The colonies are strong. To-day I 

 transferred 11 colonies from bos-hives to 

 the 8-frame dovetail hives without loss.

Bees and Strawberries. 



I am a bee-keeper in a small way, and 

 also engaged in fruit-growing. I value the 

 bees as assistants. But as I am a little 

 puzzled over Mr. Abbott's position relating 

 to bees and strawberries, and as he and Mr. 

 Secor both adopt the motto — "I want the 

 facts rather than the theories," I will 

 briefly give my experience relative to this 

 question. 



I have lived in the edge of the Michigan 

 fruit-belt for many years, and know some- 

 thing of the practice of strawberry growers. 

 On page 2S3. Mr. -Abbott says: "The rows 

 of vines producing stamens only, bears no 

 fruit, of course, and are of no value only 

 as fertilizers." And then he seems to con-
