^Ji BEEDOM '((K 

 ;}; BOILED DOWN, J} 



I>ooIilll«*'s O-H-Cnpss, according to 

 an item in Gleanings in Bee -Culture, will 

 probably be put on the list of beekeepers' 

 supplies in the near future. 



Wliy J^o Honey Ironi <'I«ver.— 



D. D. Hammond says in Gleanings in Bee- 

 Culture that no matter how abundant is 

 the bloom on white clover of the first sea- 

 son's growth, it will yield no nectar till the 

 growth of the second year. 



^tilla niflerentHiTeis W^anled 



by R. S. Chapin, who says in Gleanings in 

 Bee-Culture that he doesn't want a Draper 

 "barn" with its 10 frames, but he would 

 like a hive with S frames of the deeper sort. 

 This would give him all the advantages of 

 the ordinary S frame hive, which he likes, 

 aside from the objection that it contains a 

 scant supply of stores for winter. 



Rambler''^ Improved Iloney- 

 Klrainei- is described in Gleanings in 

 Bee-Culture. .Simply cheese-cloth; but 

 cheese-cloth soon becomes clogged. So he 

 provides against this by having cheese- 

 cloth 3 yards long and }v,' yard wide, each 

 end attacht to a roller, somewhat after the 

 fashion of a window shade on a roller. 

 When the part in use becomes clogged, it 

 is rolled up, and a fresh part rolled off from 

 the other roller, and this is continued till 

 the whole 3 yards has been used, when the 

 whole piece can be washt. 



Bury ins: Bees in ^Vinter has been 

 little mentioned of late years, but Lebreeht 

 Wolff speaks of it in highest terms in 

 Deutsche illustrierte Bztg. No disturbance 

 thru frequent changes of temperature, no 

 seductive sunbeam entices the bees forth to 

 their ruin, no disturbance from rats, mice, 

 etc., no winter's cold severe enough to in- 

 jure them; quietly they sleep away their 

 winter's rest, leaving the beekeeper free 

 from all care regarding them. The view 

 formerly held, that it is desirable for bees 

 to have a flight in winter is now generally 

 given up, says Herr Wolff, a cleansing flight 

 in December, January, or the first half of 

 February being highly detrimental to the 

 bees. 



'I'lie slaii^fliter of bees by brim- 

 !>>tone is the beading of an article in a 

 German bee journal in which the writer de- 

 plores the continuance of the old custom in 

 his land by which thousands of colonies are 

 sacrificed, and proposes to put a stop to it 

 by buying up all colonies condemned to the 

 sulphur pit. Not being able financially to 

 compass the whole field, he makes an ap- 

 peal to his bee-keeping friends to come to 

 bis aid by sending him orders for colonies. 

 One is somewhat puzzled to know whether 

 this is a bit of shrewd advertising, but 

 against it is the high character of the jour- 

 nal in which the article appears — Deutsche 

 illustrierte Bienenzeitung — as well as the 

 fact that he claims to ask only the price he 

 himself pays, which may easily be, since he 

 asks only $'2 50 for a colony with 16 to '2.5 

 pounds of honey, guaranteeing safe arrival. 



.Markets Bare of Honey, and 

 WHy. — I have already spoken of the mar- 

 kets generally being bare of honey, and 

 that the cause was due to the fact that buy- 

 ers were not offering enough. Altho I have 

 spoken of this in this issue, I believe the 

 matter needs spfrlal emphasis <iijaiti. 



Bee-keepers should not be in haste to sell 

 their honey just yet. Honey has advanced 

 very materially in California and the West
