 urine caused by honey ?" Being af- 

 fected in the saine way, the doctor said 

 the same thing, '" You have eaten too 

 much honey." Now, Doctor Miller, 

 will honey really cause diabetes ? I 

 stopt using sweets, and after six 

 months' treatment the specific gravity 

 was 20. I am now using saccharine to 

 sweeten my coffee, but find that it 

 raises the specific gravity to 26. Ga- 

 lenic Institute says, "Eat honey if 

 you crave it." I did one evening, and 

 the next morning the specific gravity 

 was 29. S. M. C.\RLZEN.

Experience With a Clipt Queen. 



I would like to tell of an experience 

 I had with a swarm of bees that had a 

 clipt queen. They came off, flew 

 around awhile, then went back and 

 clustered on the front of the hive up 

 under the shade-boards, staying there 

 eight days. Soon anotherswarm came 

 out with a j'oung queen and clustered, 

 and I hived them. Two days after this 

 the old queen came out with a swarm, 

 and the swarm on the front of the 

 hive rusht after her, altho they had 

 not moved when the other swarm came 

 out. I moved the old hive from the 

 stand, put a new one in its place, with 

 the caged queen on the alighting- 

 board. The swarm came back, enter- 

 ing the hive with the old queen. Why 

 did the old queen come off with the 

 last swarm ? Edward Knoi.l.

Not a Good Season— Yellow Wax. 



The past season was not a very good 

 one for bees in this locality. Last 

 winter and spring were very hard on 

 them, and I lost over half of mine, 

 and did not have a swarm during the 

 season. The bees stored very little 

 surplus honey during the forepart of 

 the season, but thru August and a part 

 <if September they did pretty well. I 

 secured nearly 100 pounds of surplus 

 honey, and have put 10 colonies into 

 winter quarters, one of which I am 

 keeping on shares. This colony is 

 from a hive of bees that had been on 

 the farm of their owner for over ''0 

 years, having been brought there by 

 his father. Bees have been kept on 

 the farm which I have, since 1836, 

 without intermission. In the fall of
