In the multitude of counsellors there is 

 safety. — Prov. 11-14. 



Passag:e-\Vayg in Brood-Combs. 



Query 989.— Bees are much given to leav- 

 ing a passage between the comb and bottom- 

 bar in brood-frames. Suppose by in\'ersion 

 or otherwise the comb is built out solid to the 

 bottom-bar, will they afterward gnaw away a 

 passage ?— Colo. 



J. A. Green — No. 



Prof. A. J. Cook— No. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — No. 



Eugene Secor — I think not. 



W. R. Graham — I think not. 



Jas. A. Stone — I don't know. 



P. H. Elwood — Usually they will. 



E. France — I don't thiTik they would. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— I don't think they 

 will. 



W. G. Larrabee — I never tried it, so 1 

 don't know. 



H. D. Cutting — Not if the other condi- 

 tions are all right. 



Rev. E. T. Abbott— I do not know. 

 Try it and find out. 



Chas. Dadant & Son — No, not usually. 

 They may, if they need it. 



J. M. Jenkins — No, not if they can 

 pass under the bottom-bar. 



G. M. Doolittio— Not as a rule, unless 

 the combs get badly molded. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — They would un- 

 less there was a free passage-way be- 

 neath the frame. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater — As a general thing 

 no ; not if they have only a beespace 

 below tbe frames. 



J. E. Pond — I do not think they will, 

 but I have not experimented in that 

 direction, so I don't know. 



W. M. Barnum — I have known them 

 to, but not as a rule. Is the inverted- 

 frame craze coming up again ? 



J. M. Hambaugh — Not if there is a 

 good bee-space between the bottom-bars 

 and platform or top-bars, as the case 

 may be. 



C. H. Dibbern — I have practiced in- 

 verting, to some extent, and I find the 

 bees are very apt to again gnaw holes 

 next the bottom-bar. 



Rev. M. Mahin — They will not. At 

 least I have never known them to do so, 

 and I have a great many combs that are 

 built down to the bottom-bars. 



R. L. Taylor — In my experience, bees 

 sometimes cut away worker-comb for 

 the purpose of making room for drone- 

 comb, but never to make a passage-way. 



Allen Pringle — No, they will not gnaw 

 away a passage unless the space be- 

 tween the bottom-bar of the frame and 

 the bottom (or " floor-board " as our 

 English friends call it) is iiisuQicient. If 

 it is, they will probably "gnaw," and 

 who would blarae them ? 



B. Taylor — No. But I do not want 

 the comb built fast to the bottom-bars. 

 I want the bees to have a place to make 

 queen-cells on the lower edge of the 

 combs ; otherwise they will make cells 

 on the surface of the combs and spoil 

 them in a few seasons. Filling up the 



hive solid with combs with only % inch 

 between them, does not give the bees 

 clustering-room enough. 



G. \V. Demaree — I never invert combs 

 for any purpose, and I am not troubled 

 with unfinished combs at the bottom- 

 bars of the frames. When combs are 

 once well, connected with the bottom- 

 bars, my bees never cut out any comb 

 for a passage-way, because It is easier 

 for them to pass under the thin bottom- 

 bars.
