THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



exposure must be g-iven. In this view 

 g-iven in the Review, the exposure was 

 20 minutes with bright sunshine. Pin- 

 hole photographs do not show that 

 sharp definition that may be secured 

 with a lens; there is a lack of detail, a 

 softness, that reminds one of a paint- 

 ing instead of a photograph. It is not 

 necessary to have a camera (although 

 it is a convenience) in taking pin hole 

 photographs. Simply a light-tight box, 

 with a hole bored in one end, the hole 

 covered with a thin piece of brass or 

 copper that has been punctured with 

 the point of a needle, and the "burr" 



from the pin-hole to the plate. For 

 pictorial landscape work, where an 

 abundance of time can be given, pin- 

 hole photography has much to com- 

 mend it, but for general work, or 

 where sharpness and detail are desir- 

 able, the lens is ahead. 



ARRANGEMENT OF HIVES. 



If you will look at the prospective 

 apiary again, you will see that it is 

 laid out in such a manner that there 

 will be really four small apiaries of 28 

 colonies each, There are several 

 reasons for this: Perhaps three of

edge of the puncture polished down or 

 rubbed away on a whetstone. At the 

 back of the box must be some arrange- 

 ment for holding the plates. Perhaps 

 itmight be advisable to use "boughten" 

 plate-holders. One advantage of the 

 pin-hole arrangement is that it is 

 always in focus, no matter how far you 

 are from the object, nor how far it is 



these apiaries will have their hives 

 protected in the spring with tarred'^ 

 paper, as explained in the November 

 Review, and close watch will be kept 

 as to the effect. Perhaps two of them, 

 one that is protected, and one that is 

 not protected, will be fed between fruit 

 bloom and clover; and so on, one or 

 two of these little apiaries will be given
