 run them with a NATIONAL IVz 

 H. P. ENGINE and you will then 

 have an outfit "par excellence" to 

 do your extracting with.

 The engine shipped from Wisconsin 

 and the balance of the outfit from

the Caucasian stock. Therefore I 

 cannot place too high an estimate 

 on it. Moreover, the queens are 

 very prolific throughout the season, 

 breeding up very early in spring 

 and enabling the apiarist to make 

 a large increase, or land a great 

 harvest. They are very gentle, 

 and are never irritated to fury, nor 

 do they boil out of the hives while 

 the combs are being handled, but 

 remain quietly on the combs. They 

 make a very compact brood-nest, 

 so that it is not necessary to have 

 brood chambers larger than the 

 average. They are great queen-cell 

 builders, and as a rule build large 

 cells, which helps to assure good 

 queens. They requeen themselves 

 more often, a fact that keeps young- 

 er queens in the apiary. This means 

 fewer drone layers and dwindling 

 colonies. They fill in well with 

 honey around the brood-nest at 

 the close of the season, and this 

 as a rule insures plenty of stores 

 for Winter and Spring. They are 

 hardy bees, great honey gatherers, 

 and also carry into their hives an 

 abundance of pollen. They cap their 

 honey a beautiful white, and fill 

 out sections or frames well, being 

 great comb builders. Also, they are 

 slow tio cap out thin honey, allow- 

 ing it to ripen and acquire as heavy 

 a body as possible. Their only bad 

 feature is that they gather, at 

 times when there is no nectar, con- 

 siderable propolis or bee glue, but 

 deposit it in wads just on the in- 

 side of the hive, or about the bot- 

 toms of the frames, which is easily 

 removed.
