Prospects for Honey.

Beekeepers are rejoicing over the flattering prospeots of a big honey crop this season. The cold winters of the past few years have largely reduced the number of colonies of bees in the country, and the white clover, which is their main dependence for surplus honey, has been so scaroe that they have hardly made enough to keep them alive for the last four years. Now there is an abundance of white clover, and an immense honey yield is expected.
