 arators somewhat, and have never found 

 any objections, except their lack of 

 stiffness. What I used was very thin- 

 much thinner than ordinary sheet zinc. 

 2. I have never had much of the oxide 

 form on thorn, but I do not think it 

 would do any harm.

Nice Honey-Flow— Sweet Clover. 



As Mr. Bevins says, once a bee-keeper, 

 always a bee-keeper; and I say, once 

 have the American Bee Journal, always 

 have the American Bee Journal. 



I have now 6() colonies, and a nice 

 farm of SO acres to keep them on. The 

 honey-flow was very nice from white 

 clover, about 40 pounds to the colony, 

 and here we always have a big fall flow. 

 I have tried this snmmer to sow sweet 

 clover in a cornfield of seven acres just 

 before it was cultivated the last time. 

 It all came up nicely. Next year we 

 will see how it will act as a fertilizer 

 when it is plowed under. Some of it I 

 will keep In blossom for the bees and 

 seed. N. N. Alling.

Honey-House— Moving Bees. 



While we are discussiuR the merits 

 and demerits of the "best" breed of 

 bees, and trying to determine whether 

 such a " strain" (on our guesser) should 

 have three or five hairs on the left hind 

 leg, there are some other "pints" that 

 I, for one (perhaps among many), would 

 like to learn from the sages. 



For instance, I would like to see in 

 the Bee Journal a description, with 

 plans, diagrams and elevations, of the 

 "best" honey-house to be built at a 

 small or moderate cost. It should be 

 figured on the needs of 100 colonies as 

 a basis. The plans should show size, 

 arrangement of doors and windows, how 

 best protected by screens, ventilation, 

 heat or coolness of temperature, and 

 how acquired. Then the equipment 

 should be described ; the size, shape, 

 and arrangement of work-bench, tools, 

 racks, storage-tanks for extracted honey, 

 for comb honey ; whether they should 

 be zinc-lined and air-tight, or ventilated, 

 and all other details, needless, and too 

 numerous, here to mention. I believe 

 in "a place for everything and every- 

 thing in its place." Is there not among 

 our bee-masters an architectural and ex- 

 perienced mind that can show us how to 

 provide such a place, to our satisfaction 

 as well as that of our bees ? 



I would also like to know a thing or 

 two about moving bees. What season is 

 best? Can it be well done in fall or 

 winter (open winter here in California) ? 

 What precautions are necessary both as
