Prairie du Rocher, Ills., Sept. 26. Poor Season for Bees. I had 47 colonies, spring count, and extracted 275 pounds of honey, 112 pounds of comb honey, and had 33 swarms, but the most of them went back to the old hives in a few minutes ; sometimes a part would go back, and just a few remain in the new hive. There is not more than one-fourth of the new swarms that gathered enough to winter on, but all of the old ones are in good condition for winter. I attend to most of the bees within five miles of me, and find that none of them have done any better than my own. I cannot see that my bees have stored anything since July 20th. There is more golden-rod here this season than I ever saw before, but the bees pass it by. I extracted a few pounds some days ago, but it looked more like Mew Orleans molasses than like honey. Extracted honey is worth 10 cents a pound, and comb honey 15 cents, here. C. C. Zinn. New Windsor, Colo., Sept. 26, 1892. Bee Journal Posters, printed in two colors, will be mailed free upon application. They may be used to ad- vantage at Fairs over Bee and Honey Exhibits. We will send sample copies of the Bee Journal to be used in con- nection with the Posters in securing subscribers. Write a week before the Fair, telling us where to send them. We would like to have a good agent at every Fair to be held this year. Here is a chance for a live man—or woman. The Globe Bee-Veil, which we offer on
