THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW

lay before us. Next morning early 

 I left for home feeling that a great 

 thing had. been done towards the 

 £)preadiing of the business. 



On April the 15th I wrote my 

 apiarist to put a super on each 

 colony that was strong and had lots 

 of brood and during the time keep 

 working at the weaker ones, super- 

 ing them along as they built up and 

 needed it and as soon as work was 

 on in full in a super to raise it up 

 and place another under it. By July 

 the first the flow was over, this 

 was from Chincapin and the honey 

 was of no commercial value and 

 the idea was to make increase on 

 it and get a lot of comb built in 

 the sections. I sent him a cheap 

 helper and instructed him to take 

 off all the honey in supers which 

 was in one pound sections and ex- 

 tract and put the supers back on 

 the bees, hauling it in and taking- 

 out some supers each time he 

 made a trip for honey. My record 

 showed that the main and good 

 honey flow came on the latter part 

 of July and the bees in this way 

 would be made ready for it. Well 

 it did and the harvest was a good 

 one and about the time it was 

 drawing to a close the other flow 

 came on, the flow on which the 

 bees had done fairly well the sum- 

 mer before and nearly all the un- 

 finished supers were completed 

 during this flow. The task was not 

 completed and the honey all 

 shipped to market until late i'l 

 winter.

WHITE SWEET CLOVER SEED— We 

 are getting in "touch" with several 

 members who will harvest a consider- 

 able White Sweet Clover Seed this fail. 

 Last season we could not get half 

 enough of the unhuUed white to supply 

 our members. We would suggest that 

 those wanting seed place their order 

 early this fall, as we anticipate anoth- 

 er season of heavy demand. You may 

 send in $15 per hundred pounds for the 

 unhulled white variety, and if the price 

 is more or less this can be adjusted at 

 the time of shipment. Address The
