I believe it can be done ; and with far less labor and time than the desire in fowls to incu- bate has been ; Comb of Buckwheat Heavier than Clover.—"When we take the same brand of foundation and supply it to bees gath- ering clover honey, and to bees gathering buckwheat honey, we find invariably that there is a very much larger amount of added wax in the case of the buckwheat than in the case of the clover," says Prof. Shutt, in Canadian Bee Journal.
