do tbis and still not have any queenless 

 hives in the apiary. A few hours to half a 

 day before giving tbe cells I remove the 

 upper story from my cell-building colony, 

 and place it on a bottom-board, then put a 

 cover on tbe brood-chamber, and set it 

 aside with entrance turned around; then 

 tbe upper story is placed on the stand. 

 Thus you Fee I have a colony made queen- 

 less ready to start the cells; tben when the 

 cells are well started, which will tie in a few 

 hours, the brood-chamber is put back on 

 the stand, and the upper story, having the 

 cells, is lifted off its bottom-board and 

 placed back on tbe brood-chamber, having, 

 of course, a queen-excluder between." 



Tlie Now York ■{oe.|>i!«ease 



Editor Root says this about it; 



" I have just leceived a letter from Bac- 

 teriologist Howard, of Texas, in which be 

 says be has examined, microscopically , 

 several specimens of affected brood sent 

 from New York, and that »<»» of them are 

 foul brood, or in any way related to that 

 disease. It is an entirely new malady, dif- 

 fering from pickled brood. Dr. Howard is 

 not ready yet to make a complete report, 

 but will do so later for Gleanings in Bee- 

 Culture. In tbe meantime it is of tbe high- 

 est importance that thebee keepers of York 

 State know the result of the experiments 

 thus far. as it may save burning of colo- 

 nies, and possibly of whole apiaries, for 

 what is supposed to be foul brood, but 

 which is not that disease at all. Tbe fact 

 that this new malady is in many ca?es re- 

 ported to disappear of itself — a thing that 

 real UariJIns altvi never does — rather con- 

 firms Dr. Howard's diagnosis. In tbe mean- 

 time, bee-keepers of New York are to tie 

 congratulated that at least sut/tc of tbe af- 

 fected brood is not tbe dreaded foul brood." 



I8ol>I>oi--Be«"». — Editor Hutchinson 

 says, in the Bee-Keepers' Review, there is 

 no doubt bees can learn things, and they 

 learn to follow tbe bee-keeper about the 

 yard when be is opening hives. They also 

 learn, when a bee enters the hive with 

 booty, to start for the place where they 

 have known sweets to have been exposed 

 previously. One summer, when rearing 

 queens, be put out daily a batch of honied 

 cappings. The bees soon learned where to 

 go. and within a few minutes after being 

 taken out the can of cappings would be 

 " roaring full " of bees. " They would grub 

 away for an hour or more, and then grad- 

 ually dwindle down to a few dozen. Even 

 while they were at their busiest, I could go 

 out in the apiary and open hives with no 

 more trouble than usual." He very prop-
