'I'lie All>iiio Bee is a pretty bee, 



The Italians take the fame ; 

 The black bee has no friend at all, 



But they get there just the same. 



[Yes, with their little stingers. — Editor.] 



The foregoing rhythmical stanza and 

 editorial comment appeared in the Progres- 

 sive Bee-Keeper for May. But here's a ver- 

 sion of it by our German friend, Hans 

 Schnitzel, who evidently speaks from ex- 

 perience : 

 Dot vlte leedle pee vas goot und nicer. 



Dot yellow von vas petter; 

 Dot plack crow pee he vas von " beiszer" — 



Bud Poonics pee — oh. dunner-vetter ! — 

 Dem shting me vonce right on mine moud, 



So I nix coodt ead, und nix shpeak oud ! 



Hon. IS. I^. Xaylor will continue at 

 the head of the Michigan Apiarian Experi- 

 ment Station for another year. This was 

 decided recently. We were glad to hear it, 

 for Bro. Taylor did some splendid work for 

 bee-keepers the past year, and doubtless 

 some more of the same kind may be ex- 

 pected from him this year. We presume 

 he will continue to furnish advance reports 

 to the Review as heretofore. Next week we 

 expect to reprint one of them again for the 

 benefit of our readers. Look out for it. 



A Coriiei* in Honey. — We learn that 

 the honey-dealers in San Francisco and Los 

 Angeles, Calif., are getting up a corner in 

 honey, by buying up all the honey they can 

 find, knowing that the crop of 1894 is going 

 to be almost a total failure in that State ; 

 in fact, it is learned that the honey crop of 

 the southern counties is going to be a com- 

 plete failure. Now if the rest of the United 

 States will only have a good crop of honey, 

 that little "corner" may find its friends 

 " in a corner" with a lot of honey on their 

 hands which they may have to dispose of 

 at a sacrifice. You see, there may be at 

 least two kinds of "corners" besides the 

 one that " pussy wants." 



He«1c1on Fwrtlier Replies. — On 



page 664 of this issue of the Bee Journal 

 will be found the reply which was summed 

 up briefly by Bro. Root, on page 552 of the 

 Bee Journal for May 3rd. We consider 

 that now, so far as we are concerned, we 

 have been very fair to Mr. Heddon in de- 

 voting so much space to his explanations 

 and refutations of the charges of alleged 

 adulteration of honey. 



I>r. jflillei', we are sorry to learn, has 

 been working his brains too hard, and con 

 sequently was threatened with "brain- 

 trouble." He recently wrote us this: "The 

 one thing that I never dreamed of giving 

 out was my head. Shows that I overrated 

 the amount of brains I had." It is a good 

 thing the hard-working Doctor found out 

 before too late that his brains weren't 

 made of indestructible material, however 

 bright and strong they may always have 

 appeared to be. We hope he will "rest 

 up " a little, and get fully restored, for the
