another, not over two miles away, and handled in the same man- 

 ner, except that there uas an abundance of drone comb in tlie 

 hives, more than h:ilf of the colonies swarmed. 



Here, in the South, it is quite a problem to care lor surplus 

 extracting- coml)s. It seems that the moths will .i»'ct into them no 

 matter how carefullv they are put away. They should be kept in 

 tight hive l)odies, stacked np six or eight high, and should be 

 fumigated with carbon bi-sulphide every few weeks, especially 

 during- warm weather. Place a small pan in an empty sui)er on top 

 of the stack of combs, and pour about two ounces of the liquid into 

 it, and close up tight. Carefully keep the bi-sulphidc away from 

 fire, as the fumes are explosive. 



More excelsior should be placed in the feeder, then the swarm to be fed 

 placed on top. (See Editorial department.) 



liditor Review : I have sold through 

 the National Association 100 colonies 

 of bees and now would like to ask 

 them to list my honey for sale, as I do 

 not see it in the Review. I wrote you 

 some time ago, but it got in too late 

 to appear in the September number. 

 Have also sent a sample of my honey, 

 of which I have about a ton. The 

 honey is over half in the new 60-pound 

 cans bought of you. Kindly let me know 

 when my subscription to the Review 

 runs out. as I want to renew. 



The comb honey is almost half Fancy 

 and the balance No. 1. My home trade 

 takes all of my No. 2 stock. 



Thanking you for past favors and 

 hoping to get a sale for my entire crop 



soon, I remain. 



^'ours very trul}'.

[Member Gobeli : It was my fault 

 your honey not being listed in the Sep- 

 tember Review, but will see that it is 

 listed in this October number. We are 

 very glad, indeed, to have helped you 

 to the sale of your bees and think you 

 can depend upon us to find you a buyer 

 for your honey. Your subscription is 

 paid until the end' of December, and 

 we will notify you, with others, when 

 it expires. We hope to make the Re- 

 view so good that all will want to re- 

 new, as you do, when the subscription 

 expires. — Ed.]
