 frost struck. May 12 ; in fact, I had hived 

 two swarms before the frost, but that two 

 weeks of cold weather settled the swarming 

 question. They commenced destroying the 

 drones right off, so no more increase this

Not Discouraged. 



The honey season is closing in California. 



Our anticipations of a large honey-yield 



have not been realized, yet we have "raised 



enough honey" to prevent discouragement.

A Correction. 



On page 450, in the item headed "Five; 

 Banded Bees," there is a mistake. I meant 

 to say if it were iiu more trouble to rear 

 queens that produced all 5-banded bees 

 than it is to rear queens that produced bees 

 with two or three bands, the five-banded 

 would lead. 



The American Bee Journal is a welcome 

 visitor to my house every Friday.

Getting Honey from WMte Clover. 



Bees came through the winter in fine 

 condition. They are getting a large quan- 

 ity of honey from white clover. The pros- 

 pects for a big honey-flow this fall are good.

Bees Doing Poorly. 



Bees are doing poorly in western Con- 

 necticut this season. They started off well 

 in the spring, reared brood rapidly, and 

 a good crop of honey was looked for. 

 The dry weather came on, and the white 

 clover was a failure— no bass wood, and now 

 we must look for the fall honey-flow for 

 winter stores. The hives are full of bees, 

 and nothing to do. any more than to get 

 their living. H. H. Knapp.

Uniting Swarms. 



I read an article on page 458, regarding 

 uniting colonies, which was of particular 

 interest to me, as I have been uniting all 

 swarms 4hat came out since the loth, and 

 the smaller ones since the 10th. Where the 

 cluster is not too far from the stand, I take 

 to it a hive with a small colony, just as I 

 would an empty one, and spread a sheet 

 and set the hive on it, then shake the clus- 

 ter in front of it. I use considerable smoke 

 on both colonies— most on the outside one — 

 and have not failed to have them go right in 

 and go to work without any fighting at all. I 

 have not found more than a dozen dead 

 bees in front of any hive afterwards. I, of
