Bees gloriously active (22nd) 63 to 80 degrees. The change to cooler weather magnificent
for wheat, good also for bees. Very important. The new style of
mail boxes for sending off Queens just the things for keeping just
hatched Queens with say a dozen bees [illegible] sticks until wanted,
may answer also for Queen cells nearly mature, to be able to keep young
Queens and Queen cells till needed a great [illegible] (23rd) 60 to 80 degrees
lovely weather, wheat almost ripe. Bees more active if possible than ever. 
White Clover honey luscious, spicy. Yesterday a noble swarm. This
swarm a demonstration of the true swarming fervor. The stock had not
a single Queen cell in any shape, full of brood, old Queen with wings
clipped, plenty of [illegible], plenty of room in boxes, some full
others filling, weather rather cool, swarmed at about 10 am. 
No swarming bees to impart to them a swarming impulse, and no
Queen cells to make old Queen jealous. (24th) 54 to 78 degrees sun and moon
very red. Great flow of honey continues. Honey [illegible] gathered of a very
good consistence. (25th) 62 to 82 degrees weather, honey, etc. same as yesterday. Got in
[illegible] today splendid [illegible]. By accident my honey emptier fell over and
one of the three arms broke off, by this accident it is greatly improved as I
can get the frames in [illegible] less trouble. See where honey is emptied, etc. 
In the sunlight, the honey as it leaves the combs has the colors of the
rainbow. Have reduced the emptying to a system. Carry the emptier
to the hive to be operated on, and make not a single unnecessary
motion. By a little practice, easy to empty the unsealed honey without
disturbing the larva. A new world is opened by this [illegible] the
apiarian. The more seeming a larger yield of honey very important,
but the being able to prevent the bees from getting ahead of the queen
of securing even in the height of the honey harvest enough brood
of [illegible] queenless stocks from being swamped in honey, of
[illegible] the bees to build in the Height of the honey [illegible] good
worker combs, etc. This and other points make its importance too.
