Best Year He Ever Saw. My bees are still booming up. This Is the best year for honey that I ever saw in this part of Texas. I am very much In love with the American Bee Journal, and don't want to be without it. I wish it much success in the future. S. F. Ozburn. Meridian, Tex., Aug. 29. Everything Full of Honey. I have taken 3,136 pounds of honey to date, with enough more ready to take to bring the last extracting up to 1,100 pounds—the same as each of the first and second extractings, if not more. Tired?

I then take out one frame of comb near the back of the hive, and hang the feeder in the place of the comb.
