POINTS IN JUDGING BEES. 



Here are nine points given by S. E. 

 Miller, in Gleanings, in the order of their 

 importance : 



1. Prolificness of the queen. 



2. Honey-gathering qualities of the 

 workers. 



3. Hardiness in wintering. 



4. Disposition of workers — gentleness, 

 etc. 



5. Non-swarming. 



6. Comb-building. 



7. Longevity of queen and workers. 



8. Size of workers. 



9. Color. 



Many would put non-swarming higher 

 in the list, but Mr. Miller says : " So 

 long as swarming comes with prosperity 

 and seasons of large crops of honey, and 

 non-swarming is accompanied by fail- 

 ures, I should consider swarming the 

 lesser of two evils, if swarming may be 

 considered an evil." In which conclu- 

 sion all might concur if they should con- 

 cur in the data. 



C. Davenport would not agree in plac- 

 ing prolificness of the queen at the head 

 of the list, for four pages farther on in 

 the same number he says : 



" Last season (a poor one in this lo- 

 cality) I had in the home yard a high- 

 priced queen that I had bought the 

 previous summer. She was in a 10- 

 frame hive, and she needed 10 frames, 

 for she was very prolific. This colony 

 did not swarm. They partly filled one 

 super. There were perhaps 15 sections 

 completed. An 8-frame hive stood right 

 beside this one, the queen of which was 

 a hybrid. I do not believe she laid an 

 egg in either of the outside combs dur- 

 ing the entire season ; yet this colony 

 tilled y6 sections, and had plenty of 

 stores for winter ; and it is to-day one 

 of the strongest colonies I have. An- 

 other colony, in an 8-frame hive, whose 

 queen, a pure Italian, was also bought 

 the previous summer, filled five supers 

 of 24 sections each. There were a few 

 in the last super that were not com- 

 pleted. They also had to be fed a little 

 in the fall ; but they are in good condi- 

 tion at this writing. This queen is 

 hardly equal to 8 frames ; but I regard 

 her as one of the most valuable ones 

 that I ever owned. 



NUMBER OF FRAMES. 



"Enthusiastic," in Review, says he 

 spent years in e.xperimenting with all 

 sizes from five to nine frames, and is 

 fully persuaded that for his location and 

 management nine frames are best. Now 

 some one will ask him why he doesn't 

 experiment with ten or more frames. 



SINGLE STORIES VS. DIVISIBLE BROOD- 

 CHAMBERS. 



SaysErnestRoDt in Gleanings : "How 

 the divisible brood-chamber can be han- 

 dled any more rapidly than a good hive 

 containing modern Hoffman frames with 

 V edges, is past my comprehension. I 

 have handled the former somewhat in 

 our own apiary. That is to say, we have 

 had a Heddon hive in our yard for a 

 number of seasons ; and I have manipu- 

 lated that hive perhaps more than any 

 other one hive in our yard. We have 

 also had a Danzenbaker hive in our yard 

 for a part of one season. I have seen 

 divisible-brood-chamber hives handled
