Woodcliff Queens. 



I will send a Guaranteed 5-Banded Yellow 

 Queen, bred from a Breeder selected from 

 1000 Queens (some producing over 400 lbs. of 

 honey to the colony); or a :i-Banded Italian 

 Leather-Colored Queen direct from a Breeder 

 imported from Italy. Oct. '9-i— at 75c., and 

 a special low price for a quantity. 



My secret is to sell an extra-lar^e amount. 

 which enables me to sell at low prices. Will 

 run this spring- 350 Nuclei— have 1 home and 

 4 out apiaries. No Queens superior to my 

 Strain.

Illinois State Members' Reports. 



On account of being so busy I have de- 

 layed the reports that have come in from 

 the members of the State Association. The 

 outlook is so poor that not many have sent 

 in their reports, and those who have, speak 

 as follows; 



C. Becker, of Pleasant Plains, Ills., an- 

 swers the questions thus: 



1. How many colonies ? — 40. 



2. What are the prospects for a honey 

 crop ? — Poor at present. 



3. How much honey gathered to date ! — 

 None. 



4. Is the honey gathered to date No. 1 or 

 not; 



M. Bevier, of Bradford — 1. 37 old and one 

 new. 2. 5. 3. None. 



5. N. Black, Clayton— 1. 10 colonies, and 

 they are weak. 2. Poor— no white clover. 

 3. None, and there will be no crop. 



Peter Blunier, of Roanoke — 1 . 42, and 6 

 swarms. 2. Bees are in very good condi- 

 tion, but weather too dry. 3. No surplus, 

 but plenty in brood-nest. 4. I tjiink it is 

 good, as it is all fruit-bloom. 



G. W. Cole, of Canton— 1. 10. 2. Poor. 3. 

 None. 



A. N. Draper, of Upper Alton— 1. ISO. 2. 

 Fair. 3. Big crop. 4. Fruit-bloom. 



P. J. England, of Fancy Prairie — 1. 15. 2. 

 Poor. 3. None. 4. The freeze damaged my 

 berry crop several hundred dollars. 



Dr. C. C. Miller, of Marengo— 1. About 

 140. 2. Good as far as can be told. 8. None. 



Jas. Poindester, of Bloomington — 1. 150. 

 3. Though not good, some better than last 

 year. 3. No surplus. 



Daniel E. Bobbins, of Payson— 1. 30. 3. 

 Not very good. 3. 15 pounds of fruit-bloom 

 honey. 4. Very good. 



Geo. F. Bobbins, of Mechanicsburg— 1. 

 30— several quite weak. 2. Fair. 3. Zero. 



J. Q. Smith, President of the State Asso- 

 ciation, Lincoln — 1. 47. Hived first swarm 

 May 33. 3. Very poor. 3. Cannot say; 

 will extract some fruit-bloom honey. 4. 

 No. 1, very choice. (Mr. Smith sent me a 

 sample of fruit-bloom honey, which I think 

 is very fine. — Secretary.) 



Walter M. Van Meter, of Era, Tex.— 1. 7. 

 3. Very good. 3. No honey (May 25). 



P. C. Vibert, Hockanum, Conn.— 1. 3. 2. 

 Poor season, cold weather, hard frost, very 

 dry. 3. None. 



Jas. A. Stone, of Bradfordton — 1. About 

 65. 3. Bees did well on fruit-bloom until 

 the freeze put an end to all blooms. Our 

 prospect for white clover was good until 

 the dry weather has nearly ended it. 3. 

 None since fruit-bloom, which all went for 

 brood-rearing, and though no swarms have 

 come out, they are very strong. (Gleanings 

 please Copy.) Jas. A. Stone, Sec. 



Bradfordton, 111., June 17. 



The Season So Far in Minnesota. 



I put into winter quarters 225 colonies 

 the forepart of Nov., 1894, and put them on 

 the summer stands March 29, 1S95, all alive. 

 One swarmed out the same day, and 3S of 

 them did the same thing within two weeks
