Let me tell you why my Golden Italians are 

 better for comb honey than the 3-banders. 

 Simply this -they cap their honey white like 

 the blacks, and are splendid workers.

History of the Adels 



IN CARtVIOLA there are two strains of 

 Bees— one is gray or steel-colored, the oth- 

 er is yellow. The natives consider the yellow 

 strain the best, and call them '-The Adels." 

 Adel means superior— and they are superior 

 to all others. The Queens are very hardy and 

 prolific ; the Bees great workers, store and 

 cap their honey nicely, and are sure to winter 

 In 'most any climate on the summer stands. 

 The bees are gentle and seldom sting even 

 "When no smoke is used. 1 have had six years' 

 experience with them, and never have had a 

 Bwarm. Can ship 200 Qu-ens by return mail. 

 Everything guaranteed.

Fastening Foundation in Brood- 

 Frames and Sections. 



ftoery 22.— 1. How do you fasten founda- 

 tion to the top-bars of brood-frames ? 



2. How do you fasten foundation in sec- 

 tiODB ?— Tenn. 



G. M. Doolittle— Both, with melted 

 wax. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — 1. Wire frames. 2. 

 With Parker fastener. 



W. R. Oraham — 1. With melted wax. 

 2. With press and hot plate. 



P. H. Elwood — 1. With a Given press 

 in wired frames. 2. With a hot plate. 



E. France — 1. With melted wax. 2. 

 Press the foundation on with a machine. 



Rev. M. Mahin — 1. I have no approved 

 plan. 2. I use melted rosin and bees- 

 wax. 



W. G. Larrabee — 1. By soldering with 

 beeswax. 2. I use the Parker founda- 

 tion fastener. 



James A. Stone — 1. With a press, 

 during warm days, or in a warm room. 

 2. Same way. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — 1. Too long ago ; I 

 don't remember. 2. Dip in melted wax, 

 kept over an oil-stove. 



B. Taylor — 1. A slotted top-bar and 

 hot wax. 2. Hot beeswax, using a tin 

 paddle of peculiar construction to handle 

 the wax. 



Emerson T. Abbott — 1. By pressure. 

 2. With a Parker foundation fastener, 

 if I have much to do. If not, with a 

 screw-driver. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — 1. By pressing 

 and waxing to the comb-guide. 2. Either 

 by dipping edge of the foundation into a 

 pan of wax, or by use of a comb fastener. 



C. H. Dibbern — 1. I use one-half wax 

 and rosin, and run it melted on both 

 sides, soldering the foundation firmly to 

 the top-bar. 2. I use a foundation press. 



J. M. Hambaugh — 1. By the use of 

 the Daisy roller founddtion fastener. 2. 

 By the use of a stiff knife warmed over a 

 lamp. Two is preferable — one to be 

 warming while the other is in use. 



R. L. Taylor — 1. With a teaspoon of 

 melted wax and rosin, equal parts. 2. 

 With a machine having a plate kept hot 

 by means of a lamp. It is on the plan of 

 Root's "Daisy," except the section is 

 taken off right side up. 



H. D. Cutting — 1. I prefer a saw-cut 

 in the center of the top-bar ; place the 

 foundation in the cut, and fasten with 

 melted wax. 2. I have used for many 

 years a machine that fastens the founda- 

 tion with a hot iron, the iron heated by 

 a lamp. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— 1. Push the edge of 

 the foundation in a saw-kerf cut in the 

 underside of the top-bar 5 32 wide and 

 a deep, then drop along the joint a few 

 drops of melted wax from a burning 

 candle made of scraps of foundation. 2. 

 With the Daisy fastener. 



G. W. Demaree — 1. Some times I lay 

 the frame on a rabbeted board made for 

 the purpose, and fasten the edge of the 

 foundation to the top-bar with melted 



wax ; and some times I use a putty-knife 

 to press the wax fast, after which I run 

 some melted wax on the opposite side of 

 the sheet to keep it from " peeling off." 

 2. I use a little machine to fix the start- 

 ers in the sections. 



J. E. Pond — 1. I use wired frames, 

 and have no trouble in fastening, as the 

 wires will hold it up, if the work is prop- 

 erly done. 2. By using some one of the 

 various machines used for the purpose. 

 As I keep only -i or 5 colonies at a time, 

 I have ample time in which to fasten the 

 foundation securely. 



Eugene Secor — 1. It depends upon the 

 style of top-bar. I do not use a machine. 

 Sometimes I press it on with a knife or 

 chisel, sometimes fasten with melted 

 wax and brush. 2. Generally with a 

 press ; but if one has only a few colo- 

 nies, it can be done very satisfactorily 

 with melted wax and a feather. 



Allen Pringle — 1. I wire the frames 

 and allow the foundation to touch the 

 top-bar or go up into a groove. When 

 necessary, I take some melted wax into 

 a teaspoon (always at hand), and inclin- 

 ing the frame, top-bar downwards, let the 

 melted wax run from end to end, cooling 

 as it runs. That is quickly done, and is 

 sure. 2. With fastener.
