BY THE EDITOR. Saturday, Aug. 21, 1897, was a day long to be remem- bered by those who accepted Mr. L. Kreutzinger's kindly in- vitation to be at his apiary to witness taking off the thousands of pounds of comb honey that his industrious bees had stored from the mass of sweet clover that blossoms for weeks all Perhaps it will be just as well to let the Doctor give his version of the mellifluous affair, which is as follows : That honey harvest of Mr. L. Kreutzinger was indeed a novelty in this industrial world. Mr. K. evinced an enterpris- ing spirit only equaled by his delicate considerations for the uninitiated in bee-lore, whom he had invited and protected. The apiary of over 100 colonies was comfortably located in the very midst of an extensive field of sweet clover, in which the bees had evidently revelled, if the fact may be judged from the overflowing hives under his extensive bee-sheds. The yield cannot be far from 5,000 pounds of as luscious nectar as ever appeased the wrath of the Athenian gods. Our advent to this field was heartily welcomed by the genial host, but as much cannot be said of his proteges. They had evidently encountered treatment before our coming, seriously tending to excite their Italian temper, and were, therefore, indiscriminate in their pointed attention. The sev- eral dozen ladies—guests for the occasion—gladly sought the shelter so thoughtfully provided for then, and the men who accompanied them felt in duty bound to also remain under cover—for the ladies' protection, of course !.
