I do not know, and if I did know, I do not know what benefit it would be to know.—Emerson T. Abbott. A good question—and it is a question, too. I wish I had time to write an arti- cle on that subject.—J. H. Larrabee. We would like to know it; honey is not the only food used—nursing bees want pollen and water also.—Dadant &S0N. Who can tell ? I can't, for one, and doubt if any one can. What benefit would it be to learn the facts, anyhow ? —J. E. Pond. This question could only be answered by " guess-work ;" not even an approxi- mate answer could be given, because there are too many ";—J. P. H. Brown. It would be hard telling. It is esti- mated that it costs 60 pounds of honey to carry a colony of bees through the year, but considerable of this is con- sumed when there is no brood in the hive.—G. M. Doolittle. I guess it takes over a pound of honey and beebread together to make a pound of bees. I have thought it took a sheet or comb filled with honey and bee-bread to fill the same with brood. In cool weather, more honey is used than in warm.—P. H. Elwood. I have never experimented in this line to determine the exact amount, but I know from a long experience that where a large amount of brood is being reared in early spring, before honey can be gathered, that the hives decrease in weight very fast.—S. I. Freeborn. There is no way to
