The honey crop last season in this county was a poor one, owing to the wet weather in spring and drouth in summer. There was a fair flow of honey in the fall. My bees average only about pounds to the colony. Some of my neighbors did not get nearly so much. I consider the Bee Journal a great help to me, for I am a beginner, and my neighbors have had bees tor years, but they do not read any bee-paper. That's where they miss it, else they would have better success. The bees are wintering well, and have had several flights already. R. C. Suppe. Woodson Co., Kans., Jan. 3. Bee-Keeping in Oklahoma.
