AMERICAN BEE JOURNAi_. 



The amount would be variable, but 

 all agree that considerably more honey- 

 remains when worked for comb honey, 

 and therefore the bees winter better. — 

 J. H. Larkabee. 



Let those answer who have tried both. 

 In this I think a good deal would depend, 

 upon whether the one who extracted 

 took any from the brood-chamber or 

 not. — J AS. A. Stone. 



That depends upon several things, the 

 most important of which is the race of 

 bees. As a guess, I should say that on 

 an average there would be one-half 

 more. — James A. Gkeen. 



The proportion cannot be given, as it 

 will depend entirely upon the manage- 

 ment. One can have at the end of the 

 season almost no honey in the brood 

 combs, or he can have plenty. — M. 

 Mahin. 



It all depends upon how much you ex- 

 tract from the brood-chamber. If you 

 extract from the upper story only, then 

 you will see no difference. At least that 

 is the way I find it, and I produce nearly 

 all comb honey. — H. D. Cutting. 



There will be little if any difference. 

 With me, the greater proportion would 

 be found in the hives worked for comb 

 honey, and varies to some extent, so 

 that on an average the difference will 

 be hardly appreciable. — J. E. Pond. 



It will depend a little upon the plan 

 you follow. If you extract before seal- 

 ing, and often, you will probably get 

 about all ; but if allowed to remain on 

 the hive until fall in both cases, I think- 

 there will be little difference. — Eugene 

 Secok. 



This depends entirely upon circum- 

 stances not mentioned in the query. 

 The size of the brood-chamber, the depth 

 of the frames, the late honey-flow, the 

 method of extracting, and other factors 

 govern the quantity of honey in the 

 brood-nest. — P. H. Elwood. 



Considerably more in those run for 

 comb, provided the brood-nest contained 

 ten Langsiroth frames ; if only eight 

 frames were used in the brood-nest, it 

 would depend greatly upon the amount 

 of brood at the commencement of the 

 harvest, duration of the flow, etc.— S. I. 

 Freeborn. 



That would depend altogether upon 

 the size of the brood-chamber used. 

 With a brood-chamber of the size of the 

 Nonpareil, used with a queen-excluder, 

 there would be no difference. With a 

 large brood-chamber there would be a 

 greater proportion of honey — say one- 



third more — left in the hives worked for 

 comb honey than in those run for ex- 

 tracted ; and unless extracting was done 

 from the brood-chamber in both cases, 

 there will be more honey left than 

 should be. The time has come for bee- 

 keepers to awake to the fact that with 

 sugar at 4 to 5 cents a pound, it will 

 not pay to have a large amount of our 

 best honey stowed away for winter 

 stores in a large brood-chamber, when 

 our bees can be so readily stocked up 

 with cheap food in the fall. — G. L. 

 Tinker. 



I have never kept watch of this thing, 

 but I should think it would depend upon 

 the bees and circumstances. Some bees 

 will store more honey in the brood-nest 

 than others. Taking it all in all, I 

 shouldn't think there would be much 

 difference, if the brood-chamber is not 

 touched. If any, I would expect more 

 honey below at the close of the season 

 when run for comb honey. — Mrs. Jen- 

 nie Atchley. 



That depends upon how you manage 

 the bees in their hives. By the use of 

 queen-excluders, I can make the results 

 very nearly the same. But ordinarily, 

 the hives run for comb honey will have 

 a better gupply of stores left in the 

 at the close of the 

 The manner in which 

 people have written on 

 *' honey in the brood- 

 nest," has led many to believe that it is 

 a waste of honey, to have the brood-nest 

 supplied. I think differently. — G. W. 

 Demaree. 



Capons and Caponizing:, by 



Edward Warren Sawyer, M. D., Fanny 

 Field, and others. It shows in cjear 

 language and illustrations all about 

 caponizing fowls ; and thus how to 

 make the most money in poultry-raising. 

 Every poultry-keeper should have it.

Xlie Amateur Bee-Keeper, 



is the name of a neat little pamphlet 

 designed for the class its name indicates 

 — amateurs and beginners in bee-keep- 

 ing. It is written by Mr. J. W. Rouse, 

 of Missouri, a practical apiarist and 

 helpful writer. It contains over 60 

 pages, and we will send it postpaid for 

 25 cents ; or club it with the Bee Jour- 

 nal for one year — both for only $1.15.
