THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



in Aug-ust. At the close of the second 

 flow the honey is again extracted. 



The supers are stacked up out-doors, 

 and are soon cleaned up by the bees. 

 At some convenient time in October, 

 November, or December, the bees are 

 ag-ain put in vsrinter quarters, and the 

 season's active, out-door work is done. 



In addition to the work mentioned 

 above, we sometimes make one or two 

 more visits to some of the yards when 

 we desire to have a larg-e number of 

 frames of foundation (full sheets) 

 drawn out. 



I am working- toward the four-visit-a 

 year system of Mr. E. D. Townsend, 

 although, as my yards are so near 

 home, it is not so necessary, but none 

 the less desirable, to reduce the num- 

 ber of visits. 



And, in closing, let me say, that to 

 those who believe in the saving gospel 

 of "more bees," that article by Mr. E. 

 D. Townsend was the most valuable, 

 by far, that has ever appeared in the 

 "Review."
