FIG. 4.— OPPOSITE SIDE OF SECTIONS AS SHOWN IN FIG. 3. 

 Line A, sections 1 and 3, New Process. Line B, sections 2 and 4, New Process. Line C, sections 1 and 3, New 



To carry my experiment still further, and 

 lest there should be any thing in the surround- 

 ing conditions to make the difference, I re- 

 placed the super by another filled with sec- 

 tions and full sheets of both kinds of founda- 

 tion as before, only using a heavier grade of 

 the "new process," about 26 sheets to the 

 pound. This super I left on the hive until the 

 honey-flow ceased. 



Figs. 3 and 4 show results. In this case I 

 did not think it necessary to show super in 

 full, so I have given cut of both sides of 

 twelve sections as left by the bees, four from 



each side and four from the center of super. 

 You will notice that in each case the bees have 

 taken to the new process in preference to the 

 old, and followed the same until completion. 

 I intend taking the super and section with me 

 to the Toronto exhibition, where any of the 

 friends can see for themselves. I will reserve 

 them also for our winter convention at Brant- 

 ford to give our worthy " Senators " an oppor- 

 tunity of examining and discussing the value 

 of the experiment.
