was over, and fed again rapidly. The eager and 

 obedient bees responded at once. They worked 

 most industriously, and in eight days more every 

 box was filled. The weather was a little cool, and 

 they did not seal it so readily as at first, but two 

 days later it was sealed. The year's harvest was 

 stored in combs. 



From maples and apple blossoms the yield had 

 been 2,100 pounds. After swarming time 3,880 

 pounds of white clover and linn had been put in 

 combs, and now again of linn 2,480 pounds. Of 

 buckwheat, and other fall flowers, the yield was 

 8,640 pounds. The product of the year was 17,100 

 pounds of comb-honey, as beautiful as one could 

 wish to see. 15
