And, also, it is uot half as much 

 trouble, and costs only about half as 

 much, as the bees do not seem to re- 

 quire nearly so much of it as they do 

 when fed liquid honey in a feeder. 



This method of feeding requires no 

 feeder. Ten pounds of this candy is 

 placed right on top of the brood- frames, 

 and over this is placed a piece of oiled 

 cloth. Over the oilcloth is put an 

 empty super and a cover. This is all 

 that is needed, as it will keep a large 

 colony all winter in my locality. 



I received my first lessons in bee- 

 keeping from the " old reliable " Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal, and have much to be 

 thankful for. E. L. Bussby.

Sainfoin a Hardy Plant. 



The past season was rather poor for 

 honey, though much better than 1903. 

 I notice sainfoin has been mentioned 

 several times in the bee-papers lately. 

 I tried a small patch in my garden, 

 and it has stood our cold winters for 

 three years. It blossoms earlier than 

 red clover, and bees are very thick on 

 it. I wish some one who has tried it 

 extensively would give his experience.

Bulk Comb and Section Honey— A 

 Correction. 



In a recent issue of the American 

 Bee Journal I was misquoted in a re- 

 port of my statement before the Texas 

 association in reference to section 

 honey. Here is the quotation : 



" Mr. Hyde then stated that it was 

 his intention to produce section honey, 

 and that the market on bulk comb was 

 in danger of being overstocked." 



I stated that it was my intention to 

 produce some section honey for ship- 

 ment to the early northern markets ; I 

 advised others to do likewise, and also 

 advised them to continue producing 

 6u/k comb as much as our market would 

 take. 



Our market on bulk comb honey is 

 continually increasing, and it takes 

 more and more each year to supply it ;
