THE BEE KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



It seeniB the Carniolans paint every front 

 with a rude daub of something holy, emble- 

 matic, historic or comic. Very likely that 

 is what we see in the center of fig. (J. Glean- 

 ings, nr^. 



Two nuclei were made to test the eating 

 habits of drone and worker bees. The first had 

 1,00c workers, the second 1,000 workers and 

 1,000 drones with them. Confined 12 days in 

 Aug. the first ate 2 ozs. and the second 8J4, 

 (Translation from Berlepsch, A. B. J., 439.) 

 This seems to bring in our ease loving friend 

 the drone guilty of eating S^^ times as much 

 as a worker. Reasonable doubt, gentlemen 

 of the jury. 'Spects the second nucleus 

 ivorried at the unnatural state of things, con- 

 sumed an abnormal amount, and that the 

 workers took their share of it. The others 

 did not worry, both because they were fewer 

 and cooler, and because they were not an- 

 noyed by an unnatural ratio of males. 



And so the lady of the section-house talked 

 friend Dayton down that the honey was a 

 little sour. (Extracted too soon.) Would 

 that she might talk the rest of the fraternity 

 down to that. See A. B.J., 497. 



Whoa, ponies ! dear editorial ponies, don't 

 get to kicking about the question of a State 

 experimentor's right to sell reports. That 

 is one of the amazingly few things which 



had better not be agitated. Suppose it turns 

 out that he strictly has no right, for either 

 love, money or patriotism, to give out any 

 report at all, except once a year rigidly pro 

 forma .' 



■' Extra lai'Ke and light colored (iroiies — almost 

 a sure test of impurity." E. (Jallup in A. B. J., 

 499. 



" If one of my lighter quoeus mates with a 

 drone havmgan eighth part of black blood her 

 progeny will no longer be pure; y.'t I am unable 

 to detect the difference, ("has. Dadant. A. B. 

 J., 5U0. 



"In this progressive day and age thon shalt 

 not rely upon 'the wise men of .the East' too 

 much." (Western bee-keeper Rockenbach in the 

 Progressive. 



Mrs. Atchley's plan of packing bees for 

 railroading by alternating combs and empty 

 frames and then wedging all tight is very 

 simple and practical ; and — 



" Whenever they begin to get too hot you can 

 tell it by the odor. To reduce the temperature 

 quickly I throw water all over the car, hives and 

 ail." A. B. J., 527. 



Humble pie at last. How we sometimes 

 recount little things and let the big ones 

 slip ! I reviewed the Review 's growth last 

 time and did'nt say a word about the new 

 department of station reports. Looks as if 

 a dunce-block would have to be purchased 

 for me to sit on occasionally.
