 not compare favorably with our North- 

 ern State production in flavor, etc. 

 The consumption of extracted honey 

 must be very jfreat there. I saw no

To Clean a Smoker-.Nozzle. 



When the nozzle of your smoker be- 

 comes clo^l^ed and sticky with soot, 

 sfjuirt in with an oil-can a few drops 

 of kerosene, and licfht with a match. 

 In a few minutes the soot will be 

 burned to a blister, when it can readily 

 be scraped off with a knife, and your 

 smoker will be as good as new. Cana-

Doolittle on Carniolan Bees. 



They are natives of Carniola, and, if 

 I am correct, they were imported into 

 this country thru Mr. Frank Benton 

 when he waa in the Old World looking 

 up /Ifiis dorsata. Soon after their im- 

 portation there seemed to be a great 

 difference of opinion regarding them. 

 Some extolled them very highly as 

 comb-builders and honey - gatherers, 

 while many more could give no words 

 in their favor. 



During the season of 188.5 I procured 

 a queen, said to be as good a Carniolan 

 queen as there was in this country. 

 But from a careful inspection of them 

 for months I could not think otherwise 

 than that they were a very peaceable 

 strain of the black bee. They were 

 said to be of a steel-blue color ; but a 

 close ob.servation , with the two side by 

 side, failed to reveal such color further 

 than the black bee shows it. All the 

 mark of distinction I could see was in 

 their being great swarmers, while the 

 blacks swarm only moderately. 



I gave my experience with them, and 

 and some thought I did not have Car- 

 niolans in their purity, so offered to 

 send me a queen on trial. I accepted, 

 and had queens from 3 other parties ; 

 but the latter revealed nothing differ- 

 ent, except that two of them were mixt 

 with the yellow races. They proved so 

 inferior as honey-gatherers that I 

 finally superseded their queens with 

 Italians. The main trouble seemed to 

 be that, as soon as the honey-harvest 

 came on, they would go to breeding 

 with "double diligence," and reared 

 so much brood that the surplus gath- 

 ered was consumed by the multitudi- 

 nous brood. That others found them 

 not so good as the Italians is proven 

 by their having comparatively gone 

 from notice, very few breeders of the 

 present day offering them for sale. — 

 G. M. Doolittle, in Gleanings in Bee- 

 Culture.
