Eminent authorities on bee-culture state that when bees are fed scorched honey the honey in the combs did not suffer therefrom. The same results oc- curred when granulated honey was fed to the bees. Honey can therefore be adulterated in the combs. Glucose, when fed to bees, is deposited in the combs as glucose, and it has long been known that certain flowers produce honey of a superior quality to that derived from others.

No proof of that; but for the sake of the argument admit its truth and proceed to the therefore. Therefure honey can be adulterated in the combs. O lame and impotent conclu- sion ! In each of the three cases mentioned, there is apparen
