Eighty Colonies on 8 Frames, or 40 

 Colonies on 16 Frames Which? 



Query 93. — Which will g-ive the apiarist the 

 better results, 80 colonies on S-frames, or 40 col- 

 onies on 16-frames in two stories, time, labor 

 and expense being equall3' computed? — Ohio. 



Eugene Secor— The former. 



P. H Elwood— SO colonies on 8 combs. 



A. F. Brown— The SO colonies, I believe. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — I would take the 8- 

 frame. 



W. G. Larrabee— I should say 80 colonies 

 on 8 frames. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— That depends. Gen- 

 erally the 80 S-(rames. 



J. M. Hambatigh— Financially, 40 colonies 

 on 10 frames. 1 believe. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — It will depend on 

 location and management. 



Uhas. Dadant & Son— 8 frames are too 

 few ; 10 frames are too many. 



Mrs. J. M. Null— 80 on S frames will 

 double 40 on 10. in my experience. 



O. O. Poppleton— I do not practice tier- 

 ing up of hives, and cannot answer. 



G. M. Doolittle— For comb honey, the 

 former; for extracted honey, the latter 



S. T. Pettit— The question is too indefi- 

 nite. Very much will depend upon the 

 size and shape of the frame. If the Lang- 



Extracted llmiev Wanted

 Extracted Honey for sale, send us a small sam-
