FEEDING. 41 



It being self-evident that it is profitable to feed 

 bees, it now remains to show how to do it with the 

 greatest possible profit. 



Receipt for Feed. 



To eight pounds of coffee crushed sugar, add two 

 quarts of soft water, and whites of two eggs ; bring 

 to the boiling point over a slow fire, being very care- 

 ful not to burn it. Skim off carefully all scum or 

 sediment that rises, so that the feed, when cool, will 

 be perfectly clear and about the consistency of new 

 honey.
