transparent celluloid — as transparent as 

 glass; very light, and quite flexible; and a 

 large piece of it that will enable the wearer 

 to see in every direction costs about 8 cents. 

 The celluloid is attacbt to common white 

 mosquito-netting. The total cost of mate- 

 rial for the veil is aliout 12 cents ; and when 

 the bachelor bee keeper has plenty of leis- 

 ure the making of it becomes a pleasure. 

 When I first donned the thing I thought I 

 should not like it; but now after a few 

 weeks" use 1 am more and more in love with 

 it. There is but little reflection from the 

 bright surface into the eyes, and the re- 

 flection bothers only when the sun is not 

 shining. The mosquito-netting, besides be- 

 ing cheap, is of large mesh, and allows a 

 free circulation of air. The color also adds 

 to the comfort.— Rambler, in Gleanings in 

 Bee Culture. 



<j>elling' Itees to Clean Out I'n- 

 iiiii!.lit MecfionM is thus discust in a 

 Stray Straw in Gleanings in Bee-Culture; 



" ' You can take partly filled sections and 

 place them in the upper story of a colony ; 

 and the bees below, if you give them time 

 enough, will empty them out and store in 

 the brood-combs ' (Gleanings. 724 ) For 

 this 'locality' that phrase, 'if you give 

 them time enough,' should be strongly ital- 

 icized, making the time generally not less 

 than six months. I've had heaps and heaps 

 of experience on that point, with large 

 numbers of supers, extending over years, 

 with all sorts of insinuating devices, and I 

 must humbly confess that I think I never 

 got a single super cleaned out when allow- 

 ing only one colony access to it. If any one 

 has succeeded, I'll be effusively thankful 

 for the trick. " 



Editor Root adds this footnote to the 

 above paragraph: "We have had bees 

 empty out partly filled sections in the up- 

 per story; but it sometimes took two 

 months, and that is the reason why I put in 

 the qualifying clause. ' if you give them 

 time enough.' Taking it all in all, the bee- 

 keeper had better not fool away his time 

 and that of the colony in any such way as 

 this; better — far better — pile the sections 

 up in the cellar and let all the bees rob them 

 out slowly."
