Address GEORGE W. YORK & CO., 118 Michig-an Street, CHICAGO, ILL. ada. Spring: weather opened favorably, but unfortunately a large percentage of the bees had wintered poorly; however, during fruit and dandelion bloom they began to build up nicely. The clovers were pretty much all winterkilled, and what little sur- vived failed to secrete very much nectar— barely enough to keep the bees alive. Of course, our hopes for a harvest were built on basswood, which promist well, but it has come and gone, and we find most of our supers untoucht. The atmospheric conditions have been peculiar, inasmuch as cool weather is concerned. While we have had abundant rains, yet not too much at any time; and while the days were some- times very warm, yet the nights were al- ways cool, and sometimes even cold. This low temperature at night, I think, is largely responsible for the light honey-flow. But notwithstanding my light surplus of only six pounds on an average per colony, I am pleased to be able to say that the ^pects are now good for the bees filling ap their hives nicely for winter, tor which we are very thankful indeed. I am also pleased to say that honey-dew has not made its appearance thus far. Swarming was very light so far as I have learned thruout the Province. D. W. Heise. Ontario. Canada, Aug. 5. Bees Doing Well. My bees are doing well. I saved two out of ten colonies last winter, and now have six, all working in supers. I have taken 73 pounds of honey from one colony, and will get two supers more from the same. Pretty good, isn't it ? D. R. Ckall. Du Page Co., 111., Aug. 7. Foul
