all and I have no faith in such men. There 

 are some good Ijee-keepers here, but they have 

 all the colonies of their own that the}' can 

 look after; besides, they live several miles 

 away from me. , ^ o „« 



I am in favor of ciueen-excluders. borne ot 

 my colonies have brood in the two supers, so 

 you see that it I were to try to extract, 1 

 could not. It would not do at all, as I have 

 seen some throw out honey and brood, all to- 

 gether. Some honey is not fit for use. 1 re- 

 tail all mv section honey in the villages. 



I am anxious to see how my Ave colonies in 

 Ohio have stood the winter. They are packed 

 in chaff hives. . , . „, 



We have had a very fine winter heremilor- 

 ida, neither too hot nor too cool. Peaches 

 are now halt-grown. .

Couldn't Hatch Eggs Over Bees. 



I too, tried to hatch eggs over bees.lt was a 

 failure, and I had an extra-strong colony for 

 the experiment, well-protected in a double- 

 walled hive in warm weather. The best 1 

 could do, I could not get over 75 degrees ot 

 heat to the eggs. J. W. Steele.

Square Section Best— Safe Ship= 

 ping of Honey. 



I believe as does Allen Latham, on page 182, 

 that the 4I4X4I4 section is the best, tor differ- 

 ent reasons. 



In regard to shipping honey, cage IM, 1 

 would like to ask it the Association could not 

 in some way get a bill passed to prevent the 

 railroads fiom handling honey so roughly. 

 Why should they be allowed to handle freight 

 in such a manner, when we are paying for 

 sate transportation i The shipping-cases 

 should be marked in a plainer way. The pro- 

 ducer ships his honey in good shape, but 

 when it arrives at its destination it is leaking, 

 and a great deal is broken down. Right there 

 is where a great deal ot the producer's profit 

 goes. I never see anything more on this sub- 

 iect at any ol the conventions.

This is one of the standard books on

 can Bee Journal — Chas. Dadant & Son.

 plained, so that by following the in- 

 structions of this book one cannot fail 

 to be wonderfully helped on the way to 

 success with bees.

Free-Hanging Frames. 



There seems to be quite a difference of opin- 

 ion among the experts as to free-hanging 

 frames. I wonder how many ol them have 

 used the B. Taylor Handy Hive. The frames 

 are hung by a nail on the edge of a strip of 

 tin, with notches for each frame to rest in. 

 The bottom is spaced with a staple that turns 

 upward at a right angle about I4 -inch from 

 the wall of the hive, and points with a slightly 

 forward bend, so as to guide the frames into 

 place. The bees never get caught in these 

 frames, and they very seldon glue them fast, 

 so they can be removed without a jar, or 

 noise to disturb the bees. John Monson.

Still Hatches Chicks Over Bees. 



1 still hatch chicks in bee-hives. It is no 

 fake, and 1 have no patent for sale. I prac- 

 tice the same at home for my own satisfaction. 



I am still in the bee-business. My crop 

 in 1903 was 3000 pounds of comb honey and 

 1000 pounds of extracted honey. To correct 

 Dr. Miller, I don't put the little boxes in the 

 brood-chamber, but -.used the I.angstroth 

 frames. J- G- Norton.

1 have a very nice apiary of about lO colo- 

 nies, but they are weak from the pust severe 

 winter. Poplar blossom is our iii;iin How. 

 This yields a dark, thick honey, wmghing 

 from 14 to I4I4 pounds to the gallon, and, to 

 my taste, is the finest llavored honey produced. 

 We also have white and red clover luul other 

 Southern flowers. I sell my honey as ex- 

 tracted and comb. Sections do not pay here,
