GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTUKE. 



June 



how fast the brethren who were raising them for 

 us down South were getting along. Well, even 

 during those few days of delay he wrote us that he 

 had tveiveled thirty miles in going to the postoffice 

 and back again after his queen. He expected us to 

 send the queen right straight back, as we always 

 had done heretofore^ 



HEDDONS HONEY -BO.\RD MAKE FDU SIMPLICITY 

 HIVES. 



I AM sorry to say, that, through some unaccount- 

 able blunder, IMJO or 400 of these have been sent out, 

 having only '.I spaces instead of 10. It is true, ycui 

 can use only frames in a Simplicity liive, and some 

 jirefcr to do so; but where we arc working for 

 comb honey, I would by all means have the combs 

 trimmed so they will come down to the regular or- 

 thodo.Y number of 10 combs for an L. hive. If the 

 friends who have received these nine space honey- 

 boards will write us, wc will try to make the matter 

 satisfactory. Tliey can easily be made right by 

 drawing the nails and putting in an extra slat; or 

 they can be used with combs; or even if used as 

 they arc for 10 combs, I suppose there will not be 

 much trouble by bees building up through them.
