foundation, comparing it with comb 

 used before, our faiuDy were unable to 

 discover any difference, 



E. France — I don't think there would 

 be any difference. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— There hardly ought 

 to be any difference. 



Eugene Secor — I doubt whether any 

 one can tell the difference. 



P. H. Elwood — I should not expect 

 any appreciable difference. 



O. 0. Poppleton — I don't think any 

 difference can be detected. 



Emerson T. Abbott — A good way to 

 find out would be to try it. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — I do not believe 

 there would be any difference. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown— The best honey 

 will be in the combs built on foundation, 



Mrs. J. M. Null— If excluders are used, 

 and the kind or source of honey the 

 same, there will be no difference. 



S. T. Pettit — If the combs were dried 

 by the bees the previous fall, there will 

 ordinarily be no difference, unless that 

 starting with fouudation should take up 

 a soapy flavor. 



D. W. Heise — Why, I would expect 

 the latter to be the best. It is from the 

 fact that in the latter the honey would 

 be stored somewhat slower, and there- 

 fore would be better ripened. 



G. W. Demaree— I have never dis- 

 covered any difference in the quality of 

 honey gathered at the same time, and 

 under the same conditions of weather, 

 no matter what the age of the combs 

 were. 



C. H. Dibbern — There will be some 

 difference in favor of the foundation, as 

 it will be better ripened, but I do not 

 know that the difference is sufficient so 

 that it could be readily noticed in the 

 honey. 



R. L. Taylor — If the honey-flow is 

 slight there will be no difference; but if 

 abundant, that in frames with founda- 

 tion will be better, because it would not 

 be as well cured in the comb on account 

 of its being stored there more rapidly, 



J. E. Pond — I can't see where there 

 can be any difference. The conditions 

 are so nearly similar that in theory one 

 might decide either way. Is the matter 

 of enough importance to make a test 

 during the coming season? If so, let 

 some one try it and report, and thus 

 settle the matter. 



G. M. Doolittle^The way you put it, 

 the last year's combs would have their 

 cells so lengthened that the foundation 

 would have little honey io it, if the cells 

 were drawn out at all. If the cells were 

 drawn so the noney was deposited in 

 them, the difference between this and 

 that in the last year's combs could not 

 be detected by one not in the secret. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — If the comb is very 

 white there would be but little difference. 

 One season in preparing extracted honey 

 to compete for a premium at the State 

 Fair, I extracted only from white comb. 

 My honey drew the premium, being 

 lighter in color. The other exhibitors 

 thought there was some trick about it, 

 as theirs was all alike, I explained the 

 " why." Colored combs will, to some 

 extent, color the honey.
