Rochester, N. Y.
Did Very Little the Past Season.
My bees did very little this year. I got about 20 pounds of comb honey
per colony. I had two colonies of Italians, and they did nothing in the
supers, nor did they swarm. They are the meanest things to rob I ever
saw. They kept me in “hot water” all summer. I am tired of the yellow
rascals. Bees didn’t work any on white clover, and very little on
buckwheat. The season was very dry here. I had some Alsike clover, and
the bees worked on that for about three weeks.
