the U'l frames, at least when a 10 frame hive 

 is used. 1 have bad queens that would more 

 than fill It'i frames, and as I understand the 

 respective sizes of the large Dadant and 

 the 10 frame Langstroth hive, the difference 

 in comb surface is a little in favor of tbe 

 latter, and as much brood can be cared for. 



But to return to the S frame hive. What 

 it lacks in tbe brood-frames can be more 

 than made up in the addition of a third, or 

 until there is au unlimited room tbe queen 

 can occupy. Therefore, it is unnecessary 

 to winter such enormous colonies in enor- 

 mous hives. 



Of cour.se. Mr. Getaz's argument is all 

 right as between tbe SO colonies in tbe 12- 

 comb hive and the 120 in tbe 8-comb. pro- 

 vided we hold them within those limits; 

 but if we can malie the 1211 equal in the 

 rearing of bees and tbe production of honey 

 to 120 in the 12-framei hives, we gain in 

 several points, ease iu handling the hives, 

 interchangeal)Ie frames, all frames can be 

 used in an ordinary extractor. less stores 

 in wintering, expansion or contraction 

 practiced at will. 



Yes. Mr. Getaz. give us a chance to f x- 

 pand, and we will make as good a showing 

 as the large hive J. H. Martin.

Poor Season for Bees. 



The past was a poor season for bees in 

 this part of Nebraska; indeed, tbe worst 

 season for bees since I have kept them, and 

 that is since ISDI. when 1 started with one 

 colony. Even that well remembered dry 

 season of 1S04 put this 1899 season in the 

 shade all around, as to surplus honey. This 

 year I got none, and tbe bees almost have 

 nothing in their hives, and will have to be 

 fed during winter and spring until new 

 honey is coming in from the spring flowers 

 of lyoo, which I hope will give a big yield 

 of surplus honey to make up what was lost 

 in IS'.iy, or what I did not get. 



But all the same, tbe old American Bee 

 Journal will have to visit me every week, 

 if I live, and health permit?. H. Hansen.

Very Sweet Honey. 



C While visiting in Michigan last August, i 

 was entertained at Mr. Hobart Paines'. of 

 Shiawassee County. For tea we had some 

 very white comb honey. Mr. Paine pro- 

 duced it himself, and was sure it was from 

 either white or Alsike clover. I am sure I 

 never tasted of honey from flowers before 

 that was so sweet. 1 should have said at 

 once that it was produced from feeding
