Question;) 'Box> 



In the multitude of counsellors there is 

 safety.— Prov. 11-14. 



Room for Queen in Producing 

 Comb Honey. 



Query 45. — 1. In working for comb honey, 

 is it best to give a queen all the room she will 

 occupy 1 



2. It you think It best to restrict, should the 

 restriction be all the time, or when, and how 

 much ?— Kan. 



Jas. A. Stone — 1. Yes. 



Rev. M. Mahin — 1. I think it is best. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — Too much to answer 

 here. So much depends. 



Emerson T. Abbott — 1. I give her all 

 the room there is in a one-story 8-frame 

 hive. 



W. G. Larrabee — 1. Yes. I would give 

 the queen at least 10 frames all the 

 time. 



G. M. Doolittle— Nine Gallup or 8 

 Langstroth frames are about right for 

 comb honey. 



Chas. Dadant & Son — 1 and 2. Yes, if 

 you restrict her, let it be only towards 

 the end of the crop. 



Eugene Secor — 1. Early in the season, 

 yes. During the honey-flow, no. 2. 

 During the honey-flow. 



C. H. Dibbern — 1. I usually let the 

 bees manage that themselves, and don't 

 know what would be best. 



P. H. Elwood — 1. Give room for the 

 queen and bee-bread in the main depart- 

 ment. Give room for the honey above. 



R. li. Taylor— 1. No. 2. Restrict her 

 one month before the end of the princi- 

 pal honey-flow, to about five Langstroth 

 frames. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — 1 and 2. Gen- 

 erally I do not give her all the room she 

 will occupy — not over 10 Langstroth 

 frames. 



H. D. Cutting — 1. In working for 

 comb honey I want an 8-frame hive, 

 and give the queen the entire brood- 

 chamber. 



J. A. Green — 1. As a rule, it is not. 2. 

 Restriction must be according to circum- 

 stances, to explain which would require 

 a long article. 



Dr. A. B. Mason — 1. Leading comb- 

 honey producers are not agreed on this 

 matter, and a good way for you to do is 

 to experiment a little. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— 1. Theoretically, I 

 should think yes. Practically, I'm afraid 

 no. 2. I doubt if it's best to restrict at 

 any time except in the harvest, then re- 

 strict to 8 frames. 



E. France — 1. Yes, If you have a con- 

 tinuous honey-flow. But if the honey 

 crop is short — say only basswood — you 

 will got more honey if you stop the egg- 

 laying 10 or 15 days before the bass- 

 wood opens. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — 1. I should think 

 so. 2. I don't think that with the price 

 honey has brought for several years 

 past, such handling pays. I leave the 

 lower story alone, and then the bees will 

 have plenty of stores for the winter. 



A. F. Brown — Before the surplus flow 

 opens, give all the room, and more, than 

 she can possibly occupy ; for my locality
