Making Honey a Staple Product. 



Editor Hutchinson speaks in the last Bee 

 Journal ot honey being a luxury, and not a 

 staple like wheat or potatoes. Now, why 

 cannot people be educated up to where they 

 will believe it to be more a necessity than a 

 luxury, for it is surely the purest ot all 

 sweets ? Housekeepers believe fruit, both 

 fresh and canned, to be a necessity, and 

 those of us who are fortunate enough to 

 live in northern Illinois, where scarcely 

 any fruit is grown, must either buy the 

 stale fruits in the market or go without. 

 Now. would it nut be greater economy, and 

 more healthful, if we fed our husbands and 

 children on more pure honey — the richest 

 and purest of all sweets — and less on the 

 stale acid fruits in the markets ? Who will 

 say no ? Adella Newell.

Apple-Bloom and Locust Honey. 



My bees wintered well, and the first of 

 May found all colonies strong in bees ready 

 for apple-bloom, which yielded well. This 

 was followed by black locust. From the 

 two sources I got between 400 and 500 

 pounds of good surplus honey, or about 25 

 pounds per colony, which finds ready sale 

 at 20 cents per pound for comb honey, 

 which is rather dark, but of good flavor. 

 We had no white clover or other honey. 



My colonies all wintered on "honey-dew." 

 They have plenty of honey tor the coming 

 winter. My success is due to the fact that 

 I have all my colonies utrunu in yotmi/ bees 

 in September and October, and I gave each 

 from 25 to 30 pounds per colony for winter 

 stores. I use double-walled hives, with dry 

 pine sawdust packing or forest leaves, and 

 never had any losses from wintering.

Lots of Golden-Bod and Fall Flowers. 



Bees are not doing well at all here just 

 now. I had 18 colonies, but have only eight 

 at present, the rest deserted on account of 

 not having any honey or means ot getting 

 it. We had lots of honey in the spring, but 

 have had so much rain that the bees could 

 not work, and flowers would not bloom. 

 The hives have no honey in them. I do not 

 know what my bees are going to do for 

 winter stores, unless they pick up In the 

 fall, which I hope they will do. as they have 

 access to hundreds of acres of golden-rod 

 and other fall flowers, which promise to 

 furnish an abundance of bloom very soon.

Dequeening — Foul Brood. 



Dr. Miller wishes to know whether we 

 still practice dequeening during swarming- 

 time. We do. but not as extensively as 

 formerly. Years ago we bought bees to 

 keep our number of colonies good. With 

 the present low price for honey, we prefer 

 to make an increase sufiiciently large to 

 meet losses in wintering and springing. 

 The first colonies offering to swarm are 

 divided; after that, those making prepara- 

 tions for swarming are dequeened. We 

 have practiced this method for 20 years, 

 and it works as well as ever. None but No. 

 1 colonies will do well without a queen, and 

 it is better to wait until the swarm is 

 nearly ready to issue before removing the 

 queen. If they have been in the air no 

 danger will result, provided they return to 

 the right hive. Such colonies as have 

 made a commencementin sections will keep 

 on with their work. 



I was pleased to receive Dr. Howard's 

 book on •■ Foul Brood." I have had an ex- 

 tensive experience with the disease, having 

 bad it in my apiary at the time of my com-
