Hines was given an extended vote of thanks for the essay and poem read. The Tth annual meeting will be held at Anamosa, Iowa, early in December, The Secretary was directed to fix the date, and publish the proper notice. H. F. Keelek, Hec. pro tern. Anamosa, Iowa. Hesults of the Fast Season. From 5 colonies, spring count, I obtained 361 pounds of comb honey, in one-pound sections. I increased them to 11 colonies, and they are all in chaff hives on the sum- mer stands, with S.^.j' inches of chaff all around, and a good chaff cushion on top. They had flights Dec. 16 and 31, and they are wintering well now, as far as I can see. I think my location here is very good. We have lots of clover, basswood and golden- rod, and there are no bees within 12 miles of mine. A. H. Cheslet. Jackson, N. H. Driest Season Ever Known, Etc. I am almost ashamed to report the past season, as it was the driest ever known. I got 150 pounds of comb honey from 30 colo- nies and one swarm, and fed pounds of granulated sugar. Our sources here for surplus honey are basswood, white clover, Alsike clover, buckbush bloom, and sev- eral other varieties. 1 visited Rocky Ford, Colo., in October, in the interest of the honey-bee, and found a good honey country, and lots of bee-men, too. I saw several carloads of honey stacked up ready to ship—as fine honey as could be produced from alfalfa and Rocky Mountain honey-plant. Everything is raised there by irrigation. McFall, Mo., Dec. 35. J. E. Enyart. Sad Some Nice Comb Honey. We got 23 pounds of nice comb honey from one colony of bees, and none from the other hive. A queen from Texas filled an 8-frame hive with bees, swarmed, and filled the second hive with winter stores. It would take too much space to tell how ?well we like the American Bee Journal. Success, and a happy year to i
