GEO. W. YORK & CO. 



118 Michigan St., CHICAGO, ILL. 



frames and separators to accommodate the 

 plain section, but finally discarded all in 

 favor of the frame I am now using, the 

 cleated separator being among those dis- 

 carded. 



My wide frame is made to accommodate 

 four sections i^iXi^_i'E.\%\ the top and bot- 

 tom bars made of pine strips \~"l long by 

 IJi' wide by '4 thick; the end pieces 4I4' 

 long by 2 wide by ■'„ thick, with projection 

 of I4 inch on one side only. On the side 

 opposite the projection is nailed a tin sep- 

 arator, 'd}4 inches wide, leaving a bee-en- 

 trance of V inch at the top and bottom of 

 the section, making an unobstructed pas- 

 sage from one end to the other of the case, 

 and does away entirely with the necessity 

 of sections with insets. It also enables the 

 bees to build their combs flush with the 

 front side of the sections, while at the side 

 next to the separator there will be a bee- 

 space, which is a great advantage in crat- 

 ing for market, and the bee-passageways in 

 corners of sections are greatly diminisht. I 

 have from 100 to 300 colonies run for comb 

 honey exclusively, and have used nothing 

 but this frame and section since 1SS.5, and 

 will continue to do so, as I am satisfied 

 there is nothing better at present.

Bees in Southwest Georgia. 



The bee-industry is rather a new business 

 in this section (southwest Georgia) as to 

 Italian bees and movable-frame hives. I 

 have persuaded some of our best farmers to 

 try the new methods, and none regret it. 



The gallberry honey exhibited at our Fair 

 last fall was pronounced, by competent 

 judges, "the best in the world."

Wintering Bees in a Cave. 



I have had great success in wintering my 

 bees in a cave well ventilated. One year 

 ago I prepared the cave by packing in the 

 bottom about one foot deep of fine flax 

 straw to keep the moisture down and to 

 absorb the moisture from the bees. I put 

 43 colonies into a cave 6x10 feet, and last 

 spring I took them out all alive and in fine 

 condition. Last fall I put in about the 

 same number, and at this writing they are 

 in fine condition. C. S. Bubley.

Two Queens in a Hive, Etc. 



I see so often that some one bints on the 

 subject of two queens being in the same 

 hive at one time, and it appears that it is 

 doubted by many. Of course it is natural 

 for only one queen to be in a hive, but I 

 have seen two laying queens in one hive — a 

 lO-frame hive. It was a hive that the col- 

 ony had not yet completely filled the brood- 

 chamber, and one day while looking 

 through it I found a new queen, and on the 

 next frame I found the old queen ; both 

 were laying, and so I took the old queen 

 and introduced her to a colony of blacks, 

 and all was well. I am satisfied that two 

 queens are sometimes found in one hive, 

 altho it is not natural to find it so. 



I have been in the bee-business for 7 or 8 

 years, and have started several apiaries, 

 one of which I am very proud of. 



Bees did fairly well last season. I am 

 with the Dadants on the hive question, as I 

 have tried four different kinds.

The Spelling Reform Endorst. 



Bravo! Mr. Editor. I quite enjoyed the 

 vigor with which you kickt back on the 

 spelling question. A man who is able to 

 keep right on when he knows he is riijht, 

 altho not popular, has little need of outside 

 support, and yet it may be a gratification 

 to you to know that some of your readers — 

 and I am fain to hope they are in the ma- 

 jority — appreciate your course in the mat- 

 ter of spelling. 



I sometimes feel that I don't do as much 

 as I ought for the reform, having been
