THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW

sometimes cannot be coaxed into 

 section supers will work in extract- 

 ing frames. 



F. G. Fox spoke on 500 per cent 

 increase and a crop of honey. He 

 demonstrated how it is possible with 

 natural swarming to take the par- 

 ent colony after the swarm has is- 

 sued and divide it into nuclei and 

 build these up into full colonies. 



The Foul Brood Inspectors, Geo. 

 H. Rea and Jno. O. Buseman made 

 their reports on inspection. These 

 were quite interesting in facts and 

 exceedingly amusing in the exper- 

 iences the inspectors had with the 

 different kinds of people they met 

 in their rounds. Inspection is do- 

 ing a great work for bee-keeping 

 interests simply by the contact of 

 the inspector and the education that 

 is spread over the state in this way. 

 Bees are yet kept in all sorts of 

 ways: logs, bee-gums, straw skeps, 

 soap boxes, and even some have 

 been found in beer kegs. 



The Coons Hive and Comb Honey 

 was a demonstration made by R. 

 L. and A. N. Coons of Coudersport. 



This is a shallow chamber hive of 

 iheir own make with which they 

 have been successful. This year's 

 crop was 28,000 pounds of section 

 honey from 400 colonies. These 

 persons, father and son, are the 

 largest producers in the state. 



Dt. E, F. Phillips of the Univer- 

 sity of Philadelphia, who was on 

 his way back from the National 

 convention at St. Louis and who was 

 the delegate of Penna. to the con- 

 vention gave an address on ''Two 

 Essentials in Honey Production." 

 He laid emphasis on having the 

 bees go into winter quarters strong 

 and with plenty of stores so as to 

 have plenty of bees early enough 

 to get the honey flow when it 

 comes. A large number of us have 

 plenty of bees which the main flow 

 is over and when the bees are not 

 needed. 



F. J. Stritmatter spoke on House 

 Apiaries. This subject aroused con- 

 siderable interest as it is quite nov- 

 el to Penna. people. One of his
