Only a few weeks ago the bee-keep- ers indnlsed in a mournful song, now that song has turned to joy, as maybe seen by looking over the letters in this issue of tlie Bee Journal. The present indications are that the honey harvest of this year will be exceed- ingly bountiful.

If left standing on the hives, the bees soon soil the combs by travel- ing over them. Honey thus early removed is not thoroughly ripened, and should be placed in a warm place. It is not necessary to wait until every cell is capped over, for the bees will continue to find a place for a cell or two long after the section is sufficiently full to be removed. 1^ By the Canadian Farmer we leai;n that tlie National Bee-Keepers' Convention has been appointed to be held at Toronto, Canada, during the third week of September—probably on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Sept. 18 to 20; but so far we have had no official notice of it, and, therefore, presume that it is not yet fully de- termined upon.
