Gathering Lots of Honey. 



The bees are doing well at this time, 

 gathering lots of honey, but it is very dark ; 

 it is very thick and good— so thick I caBnot 

 extract to do any good, as the extractor 

 will not throw it out, and it will not go 

 through the strainer at all.

Short Crop— The Cut- Worm. 



We ought to get a good price for honey 

 this season, judging from Eastern reports, 

 and short crop in this section. The army 

 or cut worm did sad havoc with the sages 

 near the Coast, by eating the blossom-buds, 

 and eating into and cutting off the blossom 

 stems. M. H. IVIesdleson.

Bees are Booming. 



Bees are doing well this year. The alfalfa 

 is furnishing more nectar this season than 

 it has for tour years. My bees started In 

 the sections earlier this year than ever be- 

 fore. I have had 36 swarms so far. I have 

 T8 colonies, and they are filling the air with 

 music. It has been raining and cloudy for 

 three days, so they cannot go to the field. 

 There is about 125 acres of alfalfa left for 

 seed within reach of my bees this season.

Cured by Changing ftueens. 



On page 450 Mr. D. B. Weber said his col- 

 onies were all sick. Well, my colonies had 

 the same thing two years ago. * I was afraid 

 it was foul brood, so I gave all such colo- 

 nies sheets of foundation, and new hives 

 and frames, but that did not stop it, so I 

 killed the queens, and gave them young 

 ones, and they cleaned house in no time, 

 and are all right yet. A man 11 miles from 

 my place had one colony that had the 

 brood die the same say, in 1894. I told him 

 to kill the old queen and give them a cell or 

 a young queen. He did so, and he left the 

 old combs in the hive ; they cleaned house 

 the same as mine, and are all right.

"Good Time Coming" is Here. 



The unexpected has happened again. The 

 '•good time coming " is here— partly. In- 

 stead of having to buy sugar for the bees, I 

 shall have honey to sell, and I shall not 

 have to eat any sorghum molasses unless I 

 want to. The copious rains which fell 

 about the middle of June, brought out a 

 good deal of white clover later in the 

 month, and we had clover and basswood 

 bloom here all in a heap. For the last three 

 weeks every bee in the yard has been quiv- 

 ering with excitement, and I have been so 

 busy that anybody visiting me now would 

 find '■ weeds and things" enough around to 

 " mark the locality." 



Twelve colonies that have swarmed have 

 given me 24 swarms, and they do not seem
