4jictling BeesOiitofKox-HiveN. 



—An old plan given years ago is brought 

 freshly to light in the German bee-journals: 

 Invert the hive in a tub ; then pour in water 



Fsicc all Hives lUe Same IHreo- 

 lion.— F. J. Davis prefers hives facing 

 west for winter, and especially prefers to 

 have all hives face in the same direction. 

 He says that if part face east and part face 

 west, the bees of the hives facing east are 

 attracted by the afternoon sun to play with 

 their western neighbors, resulting in their 

 remaining altogether, thus strength* ning 

 the western ones to the damage of the east- 

 erns.— Canadian Bee JournaL 



I>aoc-K<lsi"S' «f Sections is much 

 practiced in England. The lace paper hides 

 the edge of the comb, so that it cannot be 

 seen whether the cells next the wood are 

 sealed or not. The amount of paper is 

 sometimes carried to such extent that a rule 

 has been made for exhibitions that S'.j 

 inches square must be left uncovered by 

 the paper. W. Woodley says an exhibit of 

 his was disqualified by an encroachment of 

 110 inch on the :!•, inch space.— British 

 Bee Journal. 



Ooes tlie ^ixe ol Hive Inliiience 

 Svvai-iniiis' ? is a question askt by the 

 editor of the Australasian Bee-Keeper. He 

 says, " I am rather inclined to believe lo- 

 cality, surroundings, and manipulation 

 have more to do with it than size of hive,'' 

 nnd calls for the experience of others. 

 Some one lately in this country — wasn't it 

 Critic Taylor ?— advanced the idea that 

 there was more swarming with large hives, 

 because they had larger populations, and 

 large population was an important cause 

 of swarming. 



A Ne-\v Kin<I of Honey-l>evv, F. 



Greiner thinks he found last August, as he 

 reports in Gleanings in Bee-Culture. The 

 bees were roaring on honey-dew from chest- 

 nut, oak, and hickory, which seemed to be 

 of the ordinary kind, with abundance of 

 aphides present, while another kind of bet- 

 ter quality and less quantity was found on 

 pear trees. For some reason the bees paid 

 less attention to this latter. Aphides were 

 absent, and the honey-dew seemed to be in 

 drops at the point where the stems of the 

 leaves joined the stock. That looks as if 

 the honey-dew exuded at that point, only 

 the drops had a concave instead of a convex 

 surface. 



'■'lie Muinlaj l-'raiiie is described in 

 Australasian Bee-Keeper. It has the same 

 depth as the Langstroth. and is about '•}_{ as 

 long. The top-bars are '4 inch thick and 1- 

 7-10 wide, fitting closely together, frames 

 running parallel to the entrance, the only 

 place for the bees to get from the lower to 

 the upper story being between the front 

 wall of the hive and the first top-bar, and 

 also between the back wall and the last top- 

 bar, besides at the ends of the frames. Ten 

 frames are used in a hive. Among the ad- 

 vantages claimed are these: No brace or 

 bur combs; no pollen and no discolored 

 comb in the honey-chamber; no draft thru 

 the brood, but plenty of ventilation by way 

 of the sides of the hive; if the cover is 

 blown ofl". the bees will be all right for days 

 without it. as the tight-fitting top-bars an- 

 swer for a cover. 



Itatlly Maslit <'oihI> Honey.— We 

 lately received a shipment of comb honey, 

 and in this was a lot that was about as 

 badly masht as it could be. Some of it was 

 so jammed and maugled, if I may use that 

 word, that it was not even fit to put out for 

 chunk honey. The better part of it we
