Good Honey Crop Expected. 



My bees are doing well this spring. I 

 started last spring with S colonies, and now 

 have 34. I have just put the supers on. 

 This year is favorable for a good honey 

 crop here in California. 



I think the American Bee Journal just 

 the thing for any one having bees. 



Fowler, Calif., M.ay 35. A. W. Ward. 



Rolling' in the Honey. 



The bees are just rolling in the honey 

 from the poplar and Alsike clover. There 

 is a good prospect if it rains soon. It is 

 very dry here, as we have had very little 

 rain since April. The bees filled their hives 

 from the fruit-bloom, and put some in the 

 sections. 



I tried a small lot of Italian clover. It 

 commenced to bloom the first of May, be- 

 tween fruit-bloom and clover. It is just the 

 thing for bee-keepers. 



The bees wintered badly. 1 have 16 colo- 

 nies out of 33. Winchester Rickel. 



Burket, Ind., June 3. 



Best Flow in 10 Years. 



Bees wintered well here the past winter, 

 and there has been a splendid honey-flow 

 this spring — the best we have had for 10 

 years. 



Bees have swarmed well, but I have had 

 bad luck with mine, having saved only 15 

 swarms from 31 old colonies, some uniting 

 and some going to the woods. I hived a 

 swarm six weeks ago to-day, in an empty 

 box-hive; now it is fiUl of honey, and they 

 have swarmed. 



We are having fine weather now, much 

 to the delight of everybody. 



Griffon, N. C, June 3. B. H. Ives. 



Tlie Way I Manage My Apiary. 



I winter my bees in a cave. I take them 

 out when the maples are in bloom. The 

 next day, if it is warm enough, I look over 

 each colony, clip each queen's wing, if not 

 clipped, and then I give each colony a clean 

 hive. It they need feeding I put on a 

 double hive, and then two chaff cushions; 

 take a quart or halt-gallon Mason jars filled 

 with syrup, tie a cloth over the mouth of 

 the jar, and invert it on the frames between 

 the chaff cushions, then take pieces of car- 

 pet, or any other material, and put it over 

 the jars to keep the brood warm. I don't 

 have to disturb the colonies to feed them. 

 I take off the cover and raise the cloths, 

 when I can see it the jars are empty, and 

 replace them with full ones, so the brood is 

 never chilled. I leave the cushions on till 

 cold nights are over. 



When a colony swarms, I have a little 

 queen-cage, and I pick up the queen when 

 she hops out and cage her. I put this cage 

 on top of a hive that I want them to go in. 

 In less than half an hour they will find the 

 queen and begin to come down on the hive. 

 Then I put the cage at the entrance, and 

 they will go in. I then open queen-cage
