A most exhaustive treatise upon the anatomy and physiology 

 of the hive bee, as well as its practical management is being 

 brought towards completion, and will prove to be the most exten- 

 sive work of the kind yet published. Part I., treating of the 

 natural history, is already finished, and has received well-deserved 

 commendation. The author, Mr. F. Cheshire, is a well-known 

 scientist who has spent many years of his life in studying both the 

 scientific and practical departments of bee-culture. — London:

There has been some talk lately about Honey Pressers, for 

 clearing combs more thoroughly of honey, and as a better means 

 of separating heather honey from comb. The accompanying 

 illustration explains itself; the central chamber receiving the 

 combs to be pressed and the honey running out at either side to 

 be strained below. The advantages to be derived from such a 

 process are questionable, as it is impossible to give pressure in 

 any manner without imparting the pollen flavour to honey. The 

 apparatus is made by Mr. Meadows, of Syston.
