been obliged to reduce our stock from half a dozen hives to one. That 

 one we have recently had put into one of Nutt's hives, for the sake of 

 experiment, and because it affords tlie means of feeding the bees, during 

 winter, much more readily and efficiently than the common hive. Till 

 we saw Nutt's invention, our opinion was in favour of the Polish hive, 

 from having seen it in Poland,,dunng four months, work admirably. By 

 it the bees are never killed, and honey can be taken out every day daring 

 the summer season, when there is any to take. — Cojid.]
