This does not show very well, but some bee-keepers a few miles from me had no honey at all. I sold all my honey at home, and could have sold more. The comb honey I sold at $ per case of 24 sections, weighing 21}^ pounds. I put my bees into the cellar Nov. 17th. and they seem to be very comfortable. Herman Heurkens. Green Bay, Wis., Dec. 28. Bees in Big Horn Basin Our bees have done as usual. I stacked the supers on top of the hives and they filled them. They averaged from 150 to over 200 pounds per colony. They are wintering in good shape so far, on the summer stands. They have not had a flight for 10 days, and this is longer than I ever saw them housed up. The winter here promises to be a steady one. and I am afraid we will not have a Big ? Horn Basin winter this time. Cody. Dec. 20. J. D. Kaufman. When Buckwheat Yields Best I noticed in the December number of the American Bee Journal something about bees working on buckwheat. I was born in New York State, and had my buckwheat and bee experience in Ulster county, where I was a boy. My father and 1 hunted bees in the woods, and I found out that when it was a bright, sunshiny day the bees didn't do much on buckwheat from 10 a m. to 2 or 3 but in cloudy or lowery weather they would work on it all day. though not so much from 10 a m. as they did I also discovered that they did not work on the honey late in the day. even when there was plenty of nectar in the buckwheat bloom.
