We have to-day, Nov. 29, 4373 subscribers. 



During the year ending Nov. 1st, 1879, we have sold 

 2769 Simplicity hives; 863 1!4 story hives; 133,349 broad 

 frames for sections; 45,314 brood frames; 408,978 sec- 

 tions, and 10,284 lb. of fdn. The regular Simplicity 

 hive seems to be most in favor, as you will see from 

 the above. 



A brother, in the December " Magazine." says his 

 bees will not eat grape-sugar candy. First try an 

 ounce or two, my friends, as I advised, right in the 

 cluster, under the cushion; if they don't eat it, you 

 have made a very small investment, and need not 

 invest further. . 



It will not pay, my friends, to order small quanti- 

 ties of grape sugar. The cost of 10, -5, or even 50 lb., 

 by freight, will often be as much as you would have 

 to pay for coffee sugar at your groceries, and I hope 

 no one has got the idea, from what I have written, 

 that grape sugar is worth as much as coffee sugar, 

 pound for pound, for feeding bees. If you order 

 small quantities by express, the case is still worse; 

 and I know of no way in ihe world by which you can 

 get or send away wax, grape sugar, candy, and the 

 like, long distances, by mail or express, as they are 

 often ordered, without charges amounting to as 

 much as, or more than, the articles are worth. 



Did you ever! Frank Benton is going to start 

 right away for the Island of 1 yprus in the Mediter- 

 ranean Sea, just on purpose to raise queens to send 

 back to America. If they have not got the best in 

 the world there, he will go to Java, Smyrna, Dalma- 

 tia (just think of it), and other places I can't remem- 

 ber, and tell us all about the bees and folks, through 

 the Gleanings for 1880. In fact he is regularly en- 

 gaged as a contributor to tell us all about his travels. 

 Our old friend, D. A. Jones, of Beeton, Tanada, goes 

 with him, and bears all his expenses, and pays him a 

 salary besides. You see, boys, Mr. Benton, besides 

 being a good bee-keeper, is a graduate of the Michi- 

 gan Agricultural <'olle e, speaks French, German, 

 Italian, aud can talk with all these foreigners almost 

 as well as with you and me (I know how he can talk, 

 for he has just spent Thanksgiving with us), and 

 that is how an education pays.
