THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW.

more or less mixed with the bitter product 

 of the willows and poplars. Those who call 

 apple honey excellent are probably correct 

 as to the pure article. I have noticed that 

 (contrary to the usual rule) the raw thin 

 nectar just brought in is delicious. 



On the same page a report that the British 

 Bee Journal furnishes afifords important 

 food for thought. Thin honey standing for 

 some weeks in a large galvanized vessel was 

 fed to bees. It seemed harmless to the old 

 ones, but killed all the ycmng brood in forty 

 hives. Before feeding it had been l-irgely 

 mixed with sugar syrup ; yet the result was 

 as stated. When poison kills baby bees look 

 out for baby humans. And do the rest of 

 us really need to eat poison to prove that we 

 are not babes ? 



Still another kind individual helps me on 

 the road to my "potato trap." A. Grubb, 

 Gleanings, 623. (Whether an Adam Grubb 

 or an Ada Grubb I can't 'skiver.) The idea 

 seems to be to use pretty broad elastic tape 

 instead of small cord in the veil hem, to have 

 the bottom, with its tape, extra full in size, 

 and then make the two sides into two elastic 

 arm-holes by the use of four safety-pins. 

 When I get arouud to try it I may report 

 whether it is too much rigging or not.

 gentle, beautiful and great honey gatherers. I

 bred in separate yards, twelve miles apart. 

 Warranted queens only 60 cts. each; tested, 90 

 cts. Strong, two-frame nuclei. $1 90 each.
