honey left from a pound section placed on 

 the table on such occasions; we would 

 sometimes get on the outside of that and 

 part of another one. I think it depends a 

 great deal upon how well one likes honey, 

 and what he eats besides. Our bill of fare 

 would consist of about the following: 



Bread, milk, butter, meat, fruit and 

 honey. The meat and fruit would often 

 remain untouoht. We ate the honey be- 

 cause we liked it. and why should we not ? 

 It is good, wholesome food, and nobody 

 ever intimated that we were eating beyond 

 the bounds of reason ! 



My usual ration is one pound a day, three 

 meals; therefore, my guest must have 

 eaten about two-thirds of a pound : yet I 

 never thought he was a glutton, I was 

 glad to see him en,ioy it, 



I agree with you, that it is not probable 

 the honey had anything to do with the 

 death of Mr, Maynard, On the contrary, 

 he died in spite of the effect of the honey. 



My experience, and that of every man I 

 have talkt with on the subject is, that 

 comb honej' is a tonic in its effect. That 

 is, if one is troubled with constipation, a 

 diet of comb honey will give relief. I know 

 one man on whom it acts as a purgative. 

 Extracted honey might have the same 

 effect. 



Hurrah for the American Bee Journal ! 

 But please do not impugn the good sense of 

 me and my neighbor because we like 

 honey. H. D. Mukry.

[Mr. Murry, we take it all back. We 

 thought «'f could eat a good deal of honey 

 at one sitting, but you can beat it. What 

 a sweet capacity — or what a capacity for 

 sweets some people have ! 



Yes, we are in favor of everybody eating 

 lots of honey — but not so much at one 

 time as to sicken, or kill. — EiiiTOR.] 



A Beginner's Experience. 



I have read the American Bee Journal 

 for the past year and have become very 

 much attacht to it for the many excellent 

 pointers that it has given me on the care of 

 bees. 



A year ago last summera swarm alighted 

 on a tree in my neighbor's yard. He said 

 that he would not bother with them and it 

 I desired I might have thein. I borrowed a 

 musty hive stored in the cellar of another 

 neighbor, and with fear and trembling I 

 hived my first swarm of bees. It was a late 

 swarm, so I took no honey from them the 

 first year. Last year was a very poor one, 

 and I could take no honey from them 

 again, but I have had very much pleasure 

 studying their habits, and putting into 

 practice some of the very excellent sugges- 

 tions found in the American Bee Journal.

Poor Season— Deep Frames. 



This has been a poor year for honey in 

 this vicinity. The spring was all right and 

 my bees built up as well as might be ex- 

 pected, considering that half of them were 

 weak. White clover bloomed well, and al- 

 tho the bees workt on it faithfully, it took 

 too long to make a trip, so they got only 

 enough to keep up the brood, until towards 

 the last there came three days of an old- 

 fashioned honey-How, and they packt the 

 brood-nest full, and some of them started 

 above, but that was the end of it. Had it 

 not been for a little white aster that 

 grows profusely, and blooms in September. 

 on unused lots around the edge of town, I 

 should have had to call on the sugar barrel 

 to feed my bees. 



Well. Dr. Miller and others can harp 

 about sticking to the standard frames, till 

 all is blue, but I'm through with them. The 

 way was this: I had been contemplating 

 changing to a deep frame for several years, 

 but the Job lookt so big that I put it off un- 

 til the past summer, when I finisht up the 

 .job, and I never want another like it. Now
