the warmth and at the same time less than 

 half the killing of bees. To the minds of 

 those who think the prevention of killing of 

 more consequence than the saving of warmth, 

 that gives the Hoffman the preference over 

 the closed-end frame, while it has still all the 

 advantage of self-spacing. Mr. Latham seems 

 to have these things in mind, at least part of 

 the time, but singularly enough closes his 

 eyes to the kiUingdisadvantage in the closing 

 question. To be entirely fair, his question 

 should have been, "Why not .... get all the 

 advantages, "it'l also all the diaadvantagei^r^ 

 The answer is that the full advantage of self- 

 spacing is left in the Hoffman, and the other 

 advantage of the closed end is overbalanced 

 by its disadvantage. 



Speaking of the closed-end frame, Mr. 

 Latham says: 



" And right here let me say that it will not 

 cause the death of any more bees than will 

 the wide bottom-bars which some of our sages 

 are advocating." 



Which one i<i our sages is advocating a 

 close-fitting bottom-bar; Or does he mean 

 that they kill bees in some other way? Will 

 Mr. Latham kindly explain? Learner. 



Season's Results— Wintering Bees. 



I saved only 27 colonies out of 105 packed 

 in dovetailed cliaff hives last winter. I bought 

 26 more colonies last spring, paying §145 for 

 them. Most of them were in pretty good 

 hives. 



So J began in the spring with 53 colonies, 

 many of them being weak. I increased to 

 112 colonies, andS nuclei, and harvested 7400 

 pounds of ho[i';y, nearly 4000 pounds being 

 in 1-pound bcrtibns, and the balance ex- 

 tracted. I hiivo sold about -SoSO worth, and 

 have about 20i ' pounds on hand. 



I have lO;! < olonies in chaff hives on the 

 summer stand- and 8 colonies and S nuclei in
