174 THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



both selling upon the merits of haA'ing- an exquisite flavor and 

 aroma not found in the more ordinary cane or beet product. 



As cane sugar goes cheaper bee-keepers will be more tempted 

 than ever to extract the winter stores of honey from their bees and 

 suljstitute sugar syrup or candy. This might cause considerable 

 more honey being put upon the market, which may have some effect 

 upon the price. 



If consumers are asked to pay three or four times more for 

 honey and maple sugar than they can buy cane for, simply to get the 

 exquisite flavor they contain, isn't it r'rry important and necessary that 

 the bee-keeper produce nothing for table use except it be of a very 

 high grade, or consumers would naturally turn to the cheaper article, 

 can susar? — Townsend. 



"Soft" Candy for Bee Feed. 



In this and the previous number of the Review, two articles 

 will be noticed recommending a "soft" candy for bee feed, the soft 

 or cream feature being acquired by the use of glucose being added 

 to granulated sugar. 



Gleanings suggests that invert sugar be used instead of glucose 

 — that it will produce the same results and avoid the use of that 

 dread word glucose. The Ren'iew requests that any one having 

 experience Avith invert sugar as a substitute for glucose in making 

 soft candy for bee feed, report their success. It would be a good 

 idea for some bee-keepers to make some experiments with invert 

 susar for making cream candv for bee feed. — Townsend.

"^ji /'AVE just read your call for help in ]\Ir. Scott's behalf; have 

 jl I also read his letter, so here goes: Clip all queens before 

 swarming time ; kill every queen that comes out with a 

 swarm, sure. 



After the swarm goes back, (or before it goes back) put a queen 

 excluder on top of the bottom board, under the hive, to be removed in 

 ten davs.
