Propolis in Varnish. 



A Holland-Dutch bee-journal says a 

 very nice varnish for furniture can be 

 made by dissolving propolis in alcohol 

 and .then straining it. By the way, 

 who has ever made a quotation on 

 propolis by the pound ? Perhaps many 

 a nice penny is flung away on this 

 rather troublesome substance. — Glean- 

 ings in Bee-Culture. 



Artistic Bee-Hives in Europe. 



It may be noticed that a great deal 

 more artistic taste is exhibited in the 

 construction of bee-hives in England, 

 Germany, etc., than is customary in 

 America. In Carniola, a province of 

 Austria, it is an old-time custom to 

 •decorate hives very fancifully. Scenes 

 from Biblical history are very com- 

 monly represented in fancy colors upon 

 the fronts of hives, also historical faets 

 as relating to the history of the coun- 

 try. The common customs of the peo- 



ple receive attention also, and the 

 humorous side is frequently brought 

 out in a striking manner. Some of the 

 older pieces are real pieces of art well 

 worth preserving. — American Bee- 

 Keeper. 



Migratory Bee-Keeping In Russia. 



A peculiar method of migratory bee- 

 keeping is practiced in Russia on the 

 larger rivers flowing south, according 

 totheRhein, Btzg. Large log-rafts are 

 constructed and covered with soil upon

Order the Above Honey and then Sell It. 



We would suggest that thorie bee-keepers who did not pro'luce enough honey for their 

 home demand, just order some : the above, and sell it. And otoers, who want to earn some 

 money, can get this honey and • jrk up a demand for it almost anywhere. 



This is the well-known 

 light-colored honey gath- 

 ered from the rich, nec- 

 tar-laden basswood blos- 

 soms. It has a stronger 

 flavor than Alfalfa, and 

 is preferred by those who 

 like a distinct flavor in 

 their honey.
