The first crop of alfalfa is all cut, and the second crop is just beginning to bloom now. I am well pleased with the Bee Journal, and wouldn't be without it for twice what it costs. S. P. Davis. Otero Co., Colo., July 12. Good White Clover Flow. 1 have a colony of bees that has been dying for four months. Some of them die with their loads of honey on, and they are working well. I have six colo- nies now. There was a good flow of honey from white clover and raspberries. Basswood has just opened. Charles A. Breese. Rensselaer Co., N, Y., July 12. Have Not Done Very Well. Bees have not been doing very well here this season. Some of my first swarms are working in the supers, but up to yesterday and to-day It was very slow. There is some basswood bloom on the highlands, and buckbush is heavy with bloom, but the weather has been unfavorable for bees to work lately. It was too wet the forepart of the season— cold and wet the latter part of May, and the forepart of June 1 had to feed to keep the bees from starving. 1 had the first swarm June 1-i, and 1 usually get the first swarms in May. 1 have had them as early as May IT. The weather looks better now, and the bees are working with a will, so I have some hopes of securing some light honey yet. S. LaMont. Wabasha Co., Minn., July IG. Feeding and Feeders.
