There is always a danger of contracting disease in 
procuring driven bees wholesale, as very many northern 
bee-men have found to their cost, and none should be 
purchased without a guarantee that they are free from 
any disease. 
When Moving to the Heather, 
everything should be got ready and loaded on the vans 
over-night, and if not desirable to travel during the night 
the journey ought not to be delayed later than 3 a.m. 
Upon reaching their destination the hives should be treated 
as before shown after a journey. 
_The Supers should Travel Separated 
from the hives, and be arranged in position on the next 
day after the bees have been liberated, or on the same day, 
as soon as the bees are settled, if inconvenient to attend 
next day. Each stock should have an extra chamber for 
better ventilation, and all openings for the admission of 
air must be shaded, so that there may be as little excite- 
ment as possible to exhaust the bees. 
Honey Presses 
are much used by those obtaining heather honey, which 
as before stated, is so thick that the extractor is useless 
for removing it from the combs. At the same time it is 
desirable that old combs containing pollen and other 
extraneous matter should not be passed through the 
press, at least when the honey is intended for sale.
