have no trouble. Of more importance, it 

 seeme to me, it is to have the bees tilled witli 

 tioney and to give to the swarm siilHeient 

 room. I give them so much room that the 

 bees can form a cluster like a swarm. — L.

Bulk Honey. 



Referring to the claims of H. H. Hyde for 

 bulk honey. Somnambulist says in the Pro- 

 gressive- Bee-Keeper : 



With one of his assertions, my experience 

 leads nie to disagree, namely, " When the 

 consumer buys bulk comb honey he reels sure 

 that he is getting a pure sweet. Just as the 

 bees made it." 



Time after time have I been earnestly in- 

 formed that the comb honey, so very attractive 

 in itself, was surrounded by a mixture of 

 glucose. Prospective buyers, and those not 

 thinking of ever investing a penny in the 

 alluring dainty, alike join forces against the 

 innocent product, and equally innocent pro- 

 ducer. Indeed, with this class of people sec- 

 tion-honey is pronounced artiticial honey, and 

 consequently fraudulent.

The glass 

 top rests on a flat rub- 

 ber ring, and is held in 

 place by a flat steel 

 spring across the top 

 as shown. They are 

 practically air - tight, 

 thus permitting no 

 leak, which is an im-

 cluding little of fine quality. Values for the 

 time being are little more than nominal. A 

 lower range of prices is looked for on coming 

 crop.
