Coreopsis arlixlom. with some Bidenx. No. 3, 

 golden -rod {SoVnlafjo <_'a)tadensin). Bees col- 

 lect a good deal of pollen from all of these 

 plants, and the second furnishes consider- 

 able honey. Pi'obably not very much honey 

 is obtained from the others. The second is 

 a peculiar plant which has become largely 

 distributed thoughout southern and central 

 Illinois. It is a spontaneous cross between 

 two allied genera, and seems to be more 

 vigorous in growth, and becoming more 

 abundant than either of the parent forms. 

 Both of these (that is the parent forms) be- 

 long to groups commonly designated by 

 such names as beggar-ticks, bur-marigold, 

 tick-seeds, devil's pitchfork, and Spanish- 

 needles. No reason can be assigned why 

 bees should not visit them as usual this 

 year. — T. J. Burkill, University of Illinois,

Alsike Clover — Late Swarm. 



Alsike clover is in full bloom now, and 

 my bees are working on it. Heart's-ease 

 and buckwheat are our main honey-plants 

 here. We are having plenty of rain at 

 present. I have 45 colonies of bees, from 

 which I have extracted 1,600 pounds of 

 honey. 



Thursday. Sept. 5, I hived a tine swarm 

 of bees for one of my neighbors. This is 

 very late for bees to swarra heft in north- 

 ern Illinois, but there have been quite a 

 lot of swarms here this fall.

Please name the enclosed plant in the 

 Bee Journal. 



My son and I were hunting bees on the 

 New York side of the "Berkshire Hills," 

 near the Massachusetts line, and late in the 

 afternoon, when bees were about done 

 working, we came across this plant, and it 

 was covered with bees. It grows in bunches 

 like tansy, and the flowers are white, or 

 nearly so. It grew in an open pasture. 

 Perhaps there had been a house there some 

 day. 



No white clover honey here this year; 

 some linden and some buckwheat. At pres- 

 ent bees are working on golden-rod, and 

 are in good condition.

[This is mountain mint, or as it is fre- 

 quently though rather inappropriately 

 called, pennyroyal — Pyvnanthftnum Untt'o- 

 liiim. The frequent observations similar to 

 the above, attest the fondness of bees for 

 the plant in many parts of our country. 

 The ability of the plant to thrive during 

 dry seasons gives it added value. — T. J.
