coddling-moth have caused much loss to 

 bee-keepers through the useless practice of 

 spraying trees, vines, etc., while in bloom. 

 Sometimes the secretions of these insects 

 win partly dry on the leaves; then if there 

 is a light, drizzling rain or a heavy dew, it 

 becomes softened. In any case there can 

 be no such thing as a real honeydew. We 

 can acconnt for storms of ashes, dust, salt, 

 etc.. because they are taken up and again 

 deposited by natural cause. Could it be 

 possible for such a thing as real honey-dew 

 falling? Would it not be like the other 

 storms referred to — cover other space or 

 surface as well as leaves? 80 far, we have 

 not been troubled with this honey-dew 

 question here, as far as the bees are con- 

 cerned. I investigated the insect question 

 to some extent while the blossom-spraying 

 excitement continued, and, like other 

 things, it is simple when known or under- 

 stood. E. S. LOVESY.

Transferring — Getting Bees in Supers. 



I had a little experience in transferring, 

 this year, that pleased me some. I pur- 

 chast a few colonies this season that were 

 in hives that had very crooked combs. I 

 simply put under them hives with frames 

 and starters, and in abjut six weeks found 

 them moved down below on nice combs, 

 with plenty of brood, and the top story full 

 of honey. I then put a Porter escape under 

 the top story, and a day or two after I took 

 It off, and put the combs into the solar ex- 

 tractor, and had my bees in a new hive on 

 nice combs. Whether this plan will work 

 at all times or not I do not know, but so 

 far it has workt all right with me. 



I had some trouble the past season with 

 swarms not working in the sudors, and I 

 separated the brood-chambers (I use the 

 Heddon hive with two brood-chambers) 

 and put another in between (tiered them, 

 rather) with frames and starters: they 

 then went to work in the brood-chamber 

 with the frames and starters in, and filled 

 the upper story with honey, and I workt 

 them for extracted and they did very well 

 for this poor year. W. W. Whipple.
