THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



I can think of one condition under 

 which foul broody honey might be stored 

 in the sections, and that is as follows: A 

 foul broody colony swarms. In three 

 weeks the young queen begins lo lay. and 

 the bees clean out the brood nest as best 

 they can, to give her room to lay, carry 

 ing the honey up into the sections. In 

 this case the sections would be liable to 

 contain some foul broody honey. 



While I don't believe in taking an} 

 f jolish, reckless chances with foul bruod, 

 I do believe in experimt-nnng with a view 

 to learning to save everything possible. —

OINTS OF SUPERIOR- 

 ITY IN THE FOUR- 

 PIECE SECTIONS. 

 BY C. H. DIBBERN.

Mr. W. Z. Ilu'chinson. 

 Dear Sir — You ate 

 "mighty right" in your 

 comments on the four- 

 piece sci lions in last 

 Review I ha\e used 

 these sections for many years, but ran 

 short this season, and used several thous- 

 ands of the one-piect*. Nc)v\, in handling 

 and scraping the sections and in casing 

 the honey, I can see the difference. Trut-, 

 it takes a little longer in putting four 

 pieces together, but that is more llinn 

 made up in scraping off ihe piopolis, and 

 then in looks they are simply "not in it" 

 with the four-piece. Then, too, the one- 

 piece section has a "bad habit" of bie^ik- 

 ing off the bottom piece, when removing 

 the hone) from the hive case. 



Friend H., can you refer me to ilie 

 best factory making the four-piece sec- 

 tion in perfect shape ? The last lot I had 

 were not good and 1 want to try another 

 factorv.

C. P. Dadant, who will be Secretary 

 of the National Association next year, is 

 too well and favorably known to need 

 any introduction. 



The officers of the National Associ- 

 ation for the ensuing year were exceed- 

 ingly well chosen, and will, I believe, 

 give entire satisfaction.

Jas. U. Harris, the newly elected 

 President of the National Association, is 

 probably as good a parliamentarian as we 

 have in our ranks — perhaps the best.

Editor Hill has made a very beauti- 

 ful and tempting picture from a slab of 

 honey (not the regid.ilion sections), a 

 knife, spoon, glass of milk, and a fi w 

 slices of bread on a plate. It lias appear- 

 ed in Art and Photography nnd the 

 American Bee-Keeper, and is the best of 

 anything I have seen in this line.
