the entrance, give a quick push on the 

 handle, and the ration will be loft on 

 the bottom-board, or else it will strike 

 the back end of the hive and fly in all 

 directions, or it will be sent kiting^ up 

 among- the bees, depending on the 

 " elevation " you give the gun and the 

 force applied to the handle. It is far 

 ahead of any other method for sfimti- 

 lative feeding that I ever heard of.— G. 

 F. Hyue. 



[Mr. Hyde, I believe you have struck 

 on something that is valuable and 

 practicable. I just knoiv it would work. 

 Nearly every one has a bicycle, and 

 can very quickly put the plan to a test. 

 But if he has not a wheel he can buy 

 one of these pumps at a repair-shop for 

 about 25 cents. I am inclined to think 

 something made specially for the pur- 

 pose will be better still. I would con- 

 struct a bicycle-pump with a longer 

 barrel, without hose, and on the end 

 have a stationary curved nozzle. If 

 the pumps are about 18 inches long one 

 could reach down to the pan of syrup, 

 shove the nozzle into the entrance of 

 the hive, and squirt the food between 

 all the combs and all thru the hive. If 

 this were done at night there would be 

 no danger from robbers, and I will 

 guarantee there is no method forstimu- 

 lative feeding that would equal this for 

 rapidity of work. I will have a pump 



made on purpose, and have the thing 

 tested at once. ICniTOK. — Gleanings

Carniolan Bees ; Their Appearance. 



Doolittle says (jiage 617) that Carnio- 

 lans do not differ in looks from black 

 bees. I said that once, and a man 

 mailed me a cage of bees he called 

 Carniolans that were distinctly differ- 

 ent from blacks no yellow on them, 

 but narrow white bands. — [The real 

 pure Carniolans that I have seen look 

 slightly different from the typical 

 black bee. At one time it was claimed 

 that the abdomens of the former were 

 of a steel blue, but this was a mistake. 

 Carniolans look about like blacks, ex- 

 cept that the fuzz-rings between the 

 segments, or scales, are of a whiter 

 color. The bees themselves area trifle 

 larger, or appear to be so. Some so- 

 called Carniolans look very much like 

 black bees — act like them in tumbling 

 off the combs in generaj confusion as 

 they are pickt out of the hive. But we 

 have had colonies of them in our api- 

 ary that behaved as quietly as Italians, 

 and were just as gentle. As both races 

 of bees came from Germany, it may be 

 assumed that there are many crosses 

 between the two. It is very difficult, 

 therefore, to get pure Carniolans. —

Cincinnati, Aug. 8.— The demand for ex- 

 tracted honey is slow, while the shipments are 

 many. I quote as follows: White clover, 8f^ 

 .S!-6c; Southern and amber, 6J^fa«7c- Comb honey 

 sells as fast as it arrives at the following prices: 

 Fancy, I6((fl(i'-<jc; No. 1, 15c. Beeswax, good de-

 A 1, ismtc: No. 1, 15c; No. 2, 12Cafl3c. Extracted 

 honey from ~\4<'iSl4c, as to quality. 



It is too early in the season and too warm for 

 any iocjuiry on honey, so prices named are only 

 nominal. The prospects in this vicinity seem 

 to be for a light crop. Blake, Scott & Lee.
