after putting them out. My bees have not 

 done this for many years. The old bees 

 dwindled down very rapidly, so that some 

 colonies had hardly anything but newly 

 hatched out bees, but with plentj- of bloom 

 they pulled through, and to-day most of 

 them are in good condition. A few com- 

 menced to swarm 10 days ago, but let up 

 again the past week. None of them have 

 yet worked in supers, but as white and Al- 

 sike clovers are now in full bloom, they 

 will probably store some surplus honey 

 soon ; though all the clovers are badly liam- 

 aged by the last year's drouth and late 

 hard frosts this spring. 



We never had such extreme weather here 

 in Minnesota, of heat and cold, as we had 

 this spring, in 40 years. April and May the 

 mercury went up to 8.5 degrees, and 94 de- 

 grees May 9; on May 14 it went down to 2.5 

 degrees in tbe morning, and killed nearly 

 all tender vegetation, also all the buds of 

 the linden, which were out abundantly. 

 Wild crops were also killed, but are in 

 bloom now the second time. 



The prospects for white honey this season 

 are not very encouraging in this vicinity, 

 though we may have a good crop of amber 

 and dark honey, as most of the vegetable 

 kingdom has recovered from the effect of 

 the extreme weather. We had a flue, gen- 

 tle rain a few days ago, and a number of 

 heavy showers yesterday, everything looks 

 refreshed and prosperous. Small grain 

 looks fine. Winter rye is in bloom — bees 

 are working on it. Corn is three to six 

 inches high, and looks good. There is hard- 

 ly a sign left that much of it was cut down 

 to the ground by the heavy frosts. The 

 beat and frosts reminded me of the weather 

 in Texas the past winter, when I was there. 

 It was almost one-half as bad here as it was 

 in Texas. C. Tueilmann.

Prospective and Retrospective. 



A certain author said: "Man is greatly 

 affected by the conditions that surround 

 him." I think this thought very closely 

 applies to bee-keepers at times, at least in 

 my case it is so. 



During the warm days of last autumn 

 my IT colonies of bees made it seem as 

 though summer had not yet departed, and 

 their keeper was happy laj'iug plans for 

 the next season's campaign, and drawing 

 pictures on the blackboard of his mind. 

 One was an apiary of some 30 colonies of 

 bees in neat frame hives, all neatly arranged 

 under the apple-trees, while their owner 

 was smillingly setting of and on the sec- 

 tion-cases. A pleasant picture, surely I 

 But, alas, for the blighted hopes. How true 

 are the words of our own poet, ■• Of all sad 

 words of tongue or pen, the saddest are 

 these, • It might have been ' " — if it hadn't 

 been for honey-dew. 



How different a picture reality presents. 

 Three colonies in box-hives, trying to make 

 up in activeuess for lack of numbers, and 

 14 hives filled with dead bees, and filthy, 

 bedaubed combs. 



I should not have the three prosperous 

 colonies had I not bought them late last 

 fall of a neighbor. They stored no surplus,
