THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



279 



Linn (basswood) is not likely to be 

 heavy this year, for last year it fairly 

 outdid itself. The bees went into my 

 supers last Sunday, May 25, and that 

 is fairly early in the season. I am work- 

 ing entirely for comb honey, and find 

 that bees work most readily in a frame 

 about 6" deep and wide as the ordi- 

 nary section. Of course I make the 

 frames myself. 



With best wishes, cordially youts, 

 Austin D. \Volfe.

STUNG. 



Lansing, Mich., June 15. — If one is 

 stung by a bee while at work and the 

 sting causes great bodily and mental 

 anguish, is one entitled to compensa- 

 tion for the time lost in recovering 

 from the injury? 



This is not a breakfast table conun- 

 drum. It is a serious question that has 

 been brought before the workingmen's 

 compensation commission. 



The commission received a complaint 

 from one F. Nakaral, of Saginaw, in 

 which the complainant sets forth the 

 fact that while he was at work several 

 days ago a hee, which had been buzz- 

 ing around him, suddenly did a spiral 

 glide and stung him on the right of 

 way of the Southern Electric Develop- 

 ment companj-. At least, that is where 

 Nakaral alleges the sting was suffered. 



Xakaral says he suffered great pain 

 and was mentally disturbed to such an 

 extent that he was unable to labor .as 

 usual, and he. therefore, asks whether 

 he is not entitled to payment. 



It is probable that Nakaral will be 

 informed that bee stings are not in- 

 cluded in the commission's list of in- 

 juries.
