To Drive Bees Out of a llollow Tree, put under the a bunch of cotton-batting- saturated in dilute car- bolic acid. The odor is insupportable to the bees, and they will soon be clustered on the outside of the tree. If the en- trance is above the cluster, bore a hole at the rig-ht place to g-et the carbolic acid,below the cluster.—French Journal. Queen-Excluders Hinder,; according to evidence given in^the Progressive Bee-Keeper, by F. L. Thompson. They restrict workers as^.well as queens, dead workers being found on top of the zinc, and a screen door composed partly of excluding zinc, altho it allowed bees to get out, did not admit robbers when'robbing was rampant. Carbolic Acid in Place of Smoke has been used much in England and Europe. A writer in L'Abeille et sa Culture says that bees conquered by the odor of the acid allow them- selves to be handled or brusht without much resistance, and the odor of the honey being overpowered by the odor of the drug, the robbers are not troublesome, so the bees are less irritated and more tractable.

Upon a large comb I counted 13 sealed cells, and not more than three of them were together. The first eggs are generally found on the comb that contains the cell from which her young majestv issued, and it is only later, when the laying becomes abun- dant, that it becomes^more'regular.—Pfalzer Bienenzucht.
