[9057] I should be very glad if you could tell me of any easily obtained sub- stitute for the "Puff-Ball" as a means of temporarily stupefying bees, without injury to the bees or honey, as that old method of dealing with them seems to me, in certain circumstances, to have advantages over smoking and driving them.—William Montagu. Reply.—The only other method, except smoking or a carbolic cloth, is to saturate a sponge with chloroform and insert it in the smoker. Drive the fumes in at the hive entrance until a few bees come out and spin round on their backs, when sub- jugation has proceeded far enough to manipulate. We do not recommend this method, as it is an easy matter to destroy the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original London
