year, and priee.s have been from S2.65 to $2.8.5 

 for cases of 24 sections, which means 13 to 

 IH'.j cents per pound. 



Of extracted honey we have half a crop of 

 what it was last year, and producers are hold- 

 ing tirni at li cents. This, of course, is too 

 high for present Eastern marlsets. 



Knowing what we do about the crop condi- 

 tion of comb honey in the Western States, 

 and what information we have gathered from 

 the bee-papers, we consider comb honey good 

 property this season.

Dark Combs and Color of Honey. 



" Darl< old combs give to honey a darker 

 color. This is the experience of some — others 

 say no. Why this difference of experience ?'' 

 — Bee-Keepers' Review. May there not be a 

 difference as to careful observation ? Will 

 not the length of time the honey is in the 

 comb also make a difference in color >. Fill a 

 black comb with water, and immediately 

 throw it out, and the water will be clear. 

 Let it soak for a nnmber of days and it will 

 be like ink. — Gleanings in Bee-Culture. 



" Reviewlets " from the Bee=Keepers' 

 Review. 



Too Many Irons in the Fire, is a bad 

 condition of things. I saw it illustrated in 

 several instances in my recent trip through 

 Ontario. So many made excuses about the 

 appearance of things, and of the way in which 

 they were obliged to work, and of how they 

 were behind, and always driven with work, 

 all because they had so much to do; as one 

 man said, he was " tired out all of the time." 

 For instance, Mr. MoEvoy has an apiary of 

 about lOU colonies, several acres of berries, 

 and is inspector of apiaries for Ontario. All 

 need his attention at the same time, and be 

 was free to acknowledge that had he turned 

 his attention to bees, years ago, his financial 

 success would have been many times greater. 

 Those men who had bees alone, and a lot of 

 them, were making the most money with far 

 less worry. 



A HiviNG-Box made from a cheese-box 

 was one of the handy things that I found in 

 the apiary of .Jacob Alpaugh, of Ontario. 

 Two staples on the side of the box are for 

 slipping in the end of a long pole, whereby 

 to raise the box up under the cluster on the 

 limb of a tree. The bottom of the box is 

 covered with muslin. The cover is also of 

 muslin, but it is fastened at only one edge, 

 opposite the side where the staples are, and 

 can be drawn over the top of the box by 

 means of two strings passing over the edge of 

 the box and down the pole. When there is a 

 swarm to get down, the box is put upon the 

 pole, the cover slipped back, the box raised 

 up under the cluster, and the limb given a 

 sharp jar by inean.s of the pole. This causes 

 the bees to drop into the box, when the cover 

 is quickly drawn over them by means of the 

 string, making them close prisoners. The 

 box, bees and all, may be slipped off the pole, 

 and set to one side in the shade, where it may 

 be left until the bee-keeper has leisure to
