even for table use, will soon pay for sev- 

 eral solars. It also saves time and loss 

 in other ways, and the first run of wax 

 that is gotten by the solar is brighter and 

 nicer than can be had by the wet process. 

 One who has never used a solar will have 

 little idea how niuch honey can be ac- 

 cumulated by means of the solar — just 

 that much saved. The slumguni taken 

 from the solar can be worked by the 

 press later at your convenience. 1 will 

 go so far as to say that, with a solar of 

 ample room, I can get almost as much 

 wax out of old combs as by the steam 

 and water methods where no press is 

 used.

 nucleusand allowed them to fly yesterday P. M. Transferred them to Dovetailed hive 

 this morning icithout s»ioki\ and handled them, patting them on the back, and I 

 never saw such quiet and docile bees. If their working qualities are as superior as 

 their handling, I am prepared to sayji'0« hair the best bees I ever met\ which would 

 include some 25 or 30 different breeders and all the well known races. 



Yours truly, OREL L. HERSHISER.

 awarded a diploma, which was the highest aivani made to an individual exhibitor. 

 I don't know as I can make any particular statement in regard to your bees, except 

 that thev pleased me the best of any that were there. 



As ever yours, W. Z. HUTCHINSON.
