Local beekeepers report that the flow
OF honey for 1912 has entirely ceased,
with the probable outcome that the crop,
when measured, will compare unfavor-
tions where the linden, or basswood
trees abound, the flow has been excep-
tionally large this season. but locally the
beekeepers depend almost wholly upon
the red clover and raspberry for honey,
and the dry weather has wrought havoc
with this source. Bees in this section
began gathering the sweet stuff around
June 20 and suddenly ceased their labors
July IL. This cessation was due to the
drying-up of the clover. Judge II. W.
Scott. who has one of the largest apiaries
in this vicinity, observes that his bees
worked overtime in the days around the
Fourth, only to relax about two weeks
ago. OF the white honeys, Eastwood is
said to Weld the best and sweetest, but
this years crop of red clover honey, al
though small, possesses an excellent fla
gor.
