Questioj^-Box^ 



In the multitude of counsellors there is 

 safety. — Prov, 11-14, 



What Bees Cap Honey Whiter 

 than the Italians ? 



Qnery 980.— Does any other kind of bees 

 cap honey whiter than Italians, and it so, 

 what?— Utah. 



E. Prance — I don't know, 

 P, H, Elwood — Black bees. 

 Rev, M, Mahin— The blacks do, 

 J. M. Hambaugh — German brown. 

 H, D. Cutting — Carniolans and blacks, 



Wm, M, Barnuoi — The Carniolan — a 

 trifle. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — Yes ; blacks and 

 hybrids, 



J. A, Green — Yes. The common blacks 

 or German bee. 



Rev. E. T. Abbott— Blacks and Car- 

 niolans, and many hybrids, 



R, L. Taylor — Yes, the German and 

 German crosses, and others, 



Eugene Secor — Yes, the German- 

 brown, or so-called " black bees," 



G, M. Doolittle — The blacks cap honey 

 the whitest of any bees I know. 



C. H. Dibbern — Yes; the grey Carnio- 

 lans make the whitest caps I ever saw. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater — The hybrids us- 

 ually do, but their capping is not so 

 smooth. 



B. Taylor — Yes; native blacks do, and 

 Carniolans are said to, but I have never 

 tried them. 



Chas. Dadant & Son — Yes, the com- 

 mon bees do, because they do not Jill 

 their cells so full. 



W. G. Larrabee— I think black bees 

 will give a whiter appearance to the 

 cappings than pure Italians. 



W. R. Graham — I have thought that 

 the black or German bees capped their 

 honey a little whiter than any other. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — It's claimed that 

 black bees cap honey whitest. I'm of 

 the opinion that the claim is sustained. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — Some say the 

 blacks; but the difiference is about the 

 same as between tweedle-dee and tweedle- 

 dum. 



Allen Pringle — The so-called "blacks" 

 and the hybrids both take the cake 

 away from the Italians in that one re- 

 spect. 



Jas. A. Stone — From my own observa- 

 tion I have never been convinced that 

 they do, though I have heard many claim 

 the blacks do. 



J. E. Pond — It is claimed that the 

 blacks do so ; I have never found differ- 

 ence enough, though, to make the mat- 

 ter of any consequence. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— I don't know. Per- 

 haps a microscope would show better 

 work of blacks, but I always get highest 

 price for the work of Italians. 



G. W. Demaree— Yes, the inferior 

 black type of bees use more wax when 

 sealing their combs, which gives their 

 combs a chawky-white appearance. But 

 to my taste the straight Italians finish a 

 more soft-tinted, delicious-looking comb.
