THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



hicrh in the list of qualities for which I am 

 breedincT, and its realization is much more 

 desirable than yellowness of bees, though i 

 am working for that too. 



The two points referred to are the only 

 ones in which the blacks may be fairly 

 claimed to be superior to the Italians under 

 onUimry management. When we consider 

 their positive defects, the Italians easily bear 

 off the palm under such management. NVith 

 coinin ^ij^frms of management, though, 

 these very defects of the blacks are so utilized 

 that they become aiils to manipulation, ihe 

 black bee is easily frightened, and readily 

 driven off the combs by smoke or other 

 means. They are also easy to shake froni 

 the combs. In handling "hives instead of 

 frame-," a system that must come more and 

 more into use, these qualities are valuable; 

 and, if the frames are not so easily handlea 

 as the ordinary style, highly desirab e. 



The blacks are not so liable to fall up the 

 brood-chamber with honey, thus crowding 

 the queen. This is a very desirable feature 

 when contraction is practiced. This very 

 quality, though, is apt to bring theni out in 

 tiie fall with an empty brood-chamber. 

 Some consider this an advantage, though i 

 think most would prefer bees that look 

 ahead a little more, and do not require to be 

 fed every fall. Of course, if the fall honey 

 is not suitable for wintering, which is pro- 

 bably the case at some times in some locali- 

 ties, it is brst that there should be as little as 

 possible below. • . 



To sum up. if you are producing comb 

 honey exclusively, on a large scale, practic- 

 imr contraction, handling hives instead of 

 frames, and wintering on sugar, blacks may 

 suit you best; but under other circumstances, 

 and for an 'all-purpose' bee, the Italian is 

 preferable." James A. Gbeen.
