It is usioiiisliiiii,'- how a colony so treated 

 will tro on linifliiiiK' lip lh« sections after the 

 How from biisswootl is over. 



With this niana|,'eiiient there is very little 

 swarniiiii.', and as the iiueens are clipped, the 

 swarm always returns, and usually the queen 

 jrets hack into her own hive. If she does not, 

 the fact is shown al tlie next examination. 

 Mr. Koe|>|ien says that if he can tret around 

 and exiimiiie each colony as often as once a 

 week there is practically no svvarmin^r. I'pon 

 reaching' an apiary, if iliere is not time to Ko 

 over the whole number of colonies, llie 

 strongest ones are selected for thai purpose. 



Watermelons for Bees. 



At the Ontario convention the question was 

 offered, •' Has any one frot watermelon 

 honey ! '' The following is part of the dis- 

 cussion : 



Mr. Fixter— They will work on watermelon 

 all r\g\n if there is an opening made for them. 

 When they are testing watermelons at the ex- 

 perimental farm they have to get inside a 

 Iniilding that the bees won't crowd around 

 them. 



Mr. Tender— That is a bad thing for bees. 

 With me, they went up to work and tilled 

 up everything where the brood that has been 

 hatched was, with watermelon honey, and, of 

 course, the conseiiuence was I didn't know 

 anything aliont it. This was in the center all 

 the time and the sealed comb honey was on 

 the outside; and when I came to look at them 

 this spring I found I had lost Hi colonies with 

 diarrhea. Mr. Armstrong came along and 

 said that was what was wrong.

The Page Fence Co. — In a recent letter 

 from llie Page Woven Wire Fence Co., of 

 Adrian, Midi., they say: 



" We were never so well equipped as at 

 present to furnish Page Fences. Having our 

 own steel, rod and wire nails, and having 

 largely increased our weaving capacity ; with 

 about 1400 employes on our pay-roll, convert- 

 ing the iron into high-carbon steel, the steel 

 into ingots, Ijlooms, liillets, rods and wire, and 

 with doublelhe numljer of looms that we had 

 .Ian. 1, liiOO. we feel that, we are in pretty 

 good shape to supply the demand for 1903. 



" We make a standard style of fencing for 

 every farm, poultry, stock or railroad require- 

 ment; use double-strength wires in all these 

 styles, coil or spiral every one of them from 

 end to end the whole length of the fence, thus 

 providing for expansion and contraction, and 

 Page Wire will retain this coiled shape even 

 after it has lieen drawn out a thousand times. 



" No locks, staples, or other devices are 

 used to hold the horizontals and cross-bars 

 together, because Page Fence is a real woven 

 wire fence. Horizontals and cross-bars woven 

 together is all there is of it." 



Their advertisement appears regularly in 

 our columns, and if you have not investigated 

 the merits of their fencing, you should wriie 

 for catalog, descriptive matter and prices now. 

 Address as above, and be sure to mention the 

 American Bee Journal when writing them.

Cincinnati, Oct. 4.— The demand ^for ex- 

 tracted honey is pood al the following prices: 

 Southern and amber sells at 5S4(a6Kc; better 

 grades, '>■< Xc. Comb honey is scarce; fancy

ClNClxN-.^Tl, Oct. 7.— Comb honey is in good 

 demand, the supply is short and very little of- 

 fered. No. 1 fancy water-white sells at 16c; 

 other grades less, according to quality. The 

 demand for extracted is very active and prices 

 are a little better: amber sells for 5K@SHc: al-

 amber, 5(a5'jc Beeswax, good to choice, light.

Considering the limited quantities offering, 

 and the firm views of holders, there is a fair 

 amount of business doing. The firmness of 

 the market, however, is confined principally to 

 high grade stock. Offerings of water-white 

 honey are of especially light proportions.
