Wooden Cell^Cups. 



As a result of Mr. Doolittle's inge- 

 nuity it is quite likely that the bee- 

 keeping world will be provided with a 

 cell-cup, at an early date, which is 

 practically indestructible. By its 

 adoption, the use of cell-protectors will 

 become entireU' uncalled for in the 

 queen-rearing apiary. Having queens 

 hatch from holes in a block of wood 

 has something of the sound of a fairy 

 tale ; yet this is exactly what Mr. Doo- 

 little has been doing, and we are in- 

 debted to him for an account of his 

 experiments in this line, as well as for 

 specimens of the cells from which 

 queens had hatcht. — American Bee- 

 Keeper. 



Putting Up Fruit with Honey. 



I often read of putting up fruit with 

 honey, but seldom see any reference 

 to what constituted a decided objection 

 to using honey instead of sugar for 

 that purpose, if not done rightly ; 

 namely, a strong twang about the 

 product, which, to my taste, is not 

 nearly so agreeable as the taste of 

 fruit put up with sugar. This seems 

 to be owing either to the change of 

 taste which honey undergoes when 

 heated too high, or to strong-tasting 

 honey, or both. But once at Mr. R. D. 

 Willis' house I tasted some peaches 

 put up with honey, which I would not 

 have known had not been put up with 

 sugar, if I had not been told. At one 

 of the Montrose meetings Mrs. Willis 

 told her method. She uses none but 

 the whitest, first-crop alfalfa honey, 

 which has the least twang about it of 

 any honey gathered here ; puts a small 

 quantity of it in a shallow pan on the 

 stove, together with a small quantity 

 of peaches, and stirs constantly, re- 

 moving before the honey is heated 

 enough to alter its flavor, and never 

 using the same honey twice. The idea 

 is to keep from heating the honey all 

 you can, and use only the whitest 

 honey. — F. L,. Thompson, in Progres- 

 sive Bee-Keeper. 



Honey Your Porridge. 



If you have the exceedingly unaris- 

 tocratic habit of sugaring your por- 

 ridge, try a little honey on it instead 

 of the sugar some morning. You will 

 find it a great improvement on sugar.

Outdoor and Indoor Wintering. 



The beginner may be at a loss to 

 know which method of wintering may 

 be the right one for him, and it]will be 

 a good thing for him if he can fall 

 back upon the experience of others in 

 his region. If he cannot do that, the 

 wise thing' is to try both plans and 

 compare results. Even with this he 

 may not be able to come to any definite 

 conclusion until after a term of years, 

 for seasons vary so much that what is
