THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW.

 tons, say four pounds f 



Friend Taylor is to be commended for his 

 candor in not suppressing the record of that 

 wintering experiment given on page 156 June 

 Review. Six colonies were arranged in the 

 form of a vertical spout ; and the bees very 

 appropriately went up it. As he seems 

 puzzled I'll try my hand at explanation. 

 Bees in winter do not defend entrances 

 much. This trouble is greatly increased 

 when there is such an arrangement as inter- 

 mingles the air and scent of different hives. 

 For some reason the upper entrances seemed 

 nicest to these bees; and nearly all that 

 came out to tiy went in above, until the low- 

 er hives were practically deserted, and the 

 queens perished. Still the crowd of bees 

 above felt disgruntled in their minds ; and 

 some fine day when no one was looking they 

 all swarmed out, and left for parts unknown. 

 Must poke just a little fun at Ernest for 

 his green dandelion pollen. Gleanings, 424. 

 Dandelion pollen is a beautiful orange. 



Dr. Miller hits it just right on those covers 

 built down with burr-comb honey. Jerk 

 them up and put them down again " quick- 

 er'n scat" Next day thfe honey will all be 

 taken out dry, and they can be removed 

 without any muss or daubing. Gleanings, 

 403. 



Alack-a day ! they have a glucose now so 

 good (else so bad) that it cannot be detected 

 by taste alone. Evidently we shall have to 

 make our peace with the chemists, and get 

 them to defend us, even if they do chuck the 

 half of us into the penitentiary with the 

 rogues. Gleanings, 470.
