. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. 636 THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL Sept. 7. 1905 I put on new stands and get the best jield from new colonias. The county report as given by the assessor for UK)5 for Nemaha county, was 444 colonies of bees. This was taken in April, but at the present time, I think there are from 1000 to 1200 colonies. A very large percent are poorly kept. Few bee- keepers take a bee-paper, and bat few take time to look after the needs of the bees. Our fall yield is not very large, so that we can not expect much honey from now on. S. C. Ma.)ORS. Nemaha Co., Nebr., Aug. 7. T

We have no honey yet. We have had lots of rain, but it has been too cold, wet and windy. The bees Eeem to be gathering some the last two days, and the prospect for a fall flow is good. A. J. Fbkeman. Neosho Co., Kans., Aug. 23. Honey Crop a Disappointment The honey crop here is a disappointment, also basswood. It has been too cool, cloudy and wet during bloom. The fall prospect is not good. F. A. Snell. Carroll Co., 111., Aug. 31. Bees Doing Poorly Bees are doing very poorly here this year. There is no honey in white clover, and if we do not have a fall honey-flow some of us will have to feed our bees. One man reports plenty for the bees and some surplus honey. C. W. HOPSECGER. Skagit Co., Wash., Aug. S. White Clover Yield Light The white clover season is practically over, and the honey crop from that source has been rather light. G. Gletsteen. Sioux Co., Iowa, Aug. 8. Too Much Rain The honey crop is very light here, as it rained too much during the basswood season, and the bees didn't work much on white clo- ver, although there seemed to be plenty of it. H.

They must be storing in the brood-nest. I lost a few queens on their wedding-trips this seaso
