honey may be given to the colony that needs 

 feeding in the fall, or It may be extracted.

 parent colony, and as it is in the height ot 

 the How you will receive benefit from the bees 

 you added, and it gives a fine crop ot honey 

 from both the swarm and parent colony ; or,

 as found in white bread. — [Put this down as 

 another point in favor of honey as food. —

Now, while I am not very well acquainted 

 with the anatomy of the bee, it is reasonable 

 to suppose that there is not very much difler- 

 ence in the suffocating qualities of the queen
