. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. The Honey Locust Tree. Descriptive Characters. — Ijeaves com- pound, composed of small, lance-shaped, oblong leaflets. Pods large, flat, shiny brown, 9 to sometimes 18 inches long and about l}i' inches broad, with a sweetish hard pulp between the seeds—often eaten by children. Armed with clusters of long keen spines, generally three together, a central or main one with smaller lateral ones ; often attached to the trunks of young trees, but absent from older stems. The. Honey Locust Limb, Seed and Pod. bark of young trees ften to fifteen years) is mostly smooth and unbroken ; but very old trees have rough and much furrowed bark, rendering the tree quite a different one in appearance. Varieties of this species are without thorns, or sometimes with small thorns. The locusts are excellent honey-producers and should not be overlooked in the selection of shade trees. Although the duration of bloom is but limited, they yield a bountiful supply ot rich nectar, and bees will literally swarm among the highly-perfumed blos- soms. Mr. G. W. Demaree, of Kentucky, writes as follows regarding.the locust: " The time of year in which it blooms nearly filling the interval between the late fruit Bloom and the white clover, makes, it an exceedingly valuable auxiliary to the honey harvest in the middle states, if not elsewhere. It is a most profuse honey bearer, rivalling the famous linden in quality, and only inferior to the product of the latter in color. Locust honey cannot be said to be dark in color. It is ot a rich pale- red color, when in a liquid state ; but when in the shape of comb honey, its appearance, If removed from the hive when first finished, is but little inferior to our superior clover honey. It becomes exceedingly thick, if left with the bees till the cells are thor- oughly sealed, and its keeping qualities are therefore most excellent. The trees are planted by the side of fences, in waste places, and on poor, worn-
