Methods of Wiping Frames. 



I notice on page 771, under " Wiring 

 Frames Growing in Favor "', that J. B. 

 Hall, one of Canada's foremost bee- 

 keepers, is reported in the Canadian 

 Bee Journal as saying : 



" I kicked against wiring for IS 

 years, and 4 years ago I put in 600 

 wired frames, and was so pleased with 

 ■them I put in 800 and last year 900." 



Would you please ask Mr. Hall to 

 give his method of wiring frames, and 

 kindly publish it in the columns of the 

 valued American Bee Journal ? I wish 

 to use only wired frames next year, for 

 frames properly wired are more prefer- 

 able. Chas. Winki,er. 



Adams Co., Nebr. 



[Will Mr. Hall kindly comply with 

 Mr. Winkler's request ? We will be 

 pleased to publish Mr. Hall's method 

 of wiring frames, just as soon as we 

 receive it. — Editor.] 



Prevention of Swarming— Colony of 

 Hustlers. 



I started last spring with 30 colonies, 

 and now have 32 in good condition. 

 Not wanting any increase I tried to 

 keep them from swarming, and partly 

 succeeded. I put hives of empty combs 

 or frames of foundation under each
