BEE CULTURE.

Wh clip the following editorial notes from the N.Z. and Australian Bee Journal for this month: — •• The weather during last month was nearly all that could be desired here in the North of New Zealand, ilthough we understand in the South no gnat linpi o\ einnit h.ul taken place up to the middle of the month. It is a great pitj th'it the weather during October, No\tml)U. and December — tlic thiee best honey months — pio\edsoadvnac to the beekeeping inteiestv Had it been at .ill seasonable, .m immense crop of honey would ha\el>Jtii gatheied, as e\er) thing in the bhape of v<gct.ition in the early part of the sra«on looked so promising foi a large jield. No doubt, with f.ivouiiible weather, a, good deal will be secured tin? month. As w»- prcdicttd, tho f.ixourablu change g.iM" the luts a slight attack i;t the Bwai ining fevei, and we found .ill wt could do to keep it within it.isonabls limits. How e\ or, without rL-tuining the majority of tlitrn, we made the be^t of the matter by uniting c.ich two. Some tinier the miittd swaiins weie ao Urge as to require tliiw boxes— never K&^ than two. The advantage of uniting swarms that come oti late in the ncasoii is, tli it some surplus honey may bt secured from tlii'iu, in most ciM-s quite as much as could be obtained from the parent colonies supposing they h.id not swarmed. Seveial of om united swarms i r a\e from 'M to 4<)lh-. eacli in about ten d.iys, and we e\pect to take nearly as much more. Dm ing the .second week of last month we seeuiid nrnily a ton of e\tiuete-d honey, whirh at present brings the total up to about -HOmiia. extracted, besides some combhoney still hi the hue. Tina is so far a \eiy small crop, but ratlioi bettei than we espeeted two month-* ago ; we may propably bring the total up to (iOOOIbs. betoie the close of the season. The instructions gnen last mouth will apply to this. No ineiea-jc should be allowed, and bee keepers should be cautions about taking honey towaids the end of the month unless they are prepartd to feed."
