He does not answer bee-keepine Questions by mail. Cement Supers—Cotton as a Honey Plant L Do you think it would be all ri^'lit to make supers out of cement ? Would it agree with the bees ? I can make them much cheaper with lumber. If any of the sub- scribers of the American Bee Journal have cement hives in any way. I would be pleased to hear (through thecolumsof the Journal) what their success has been. 2. They are raising a large amount of cot- ton near Phoenix. Do any of the readers know if cotton here in Arizona yields much honey ? Arizona. Answers.—I. My guess would be that cement supers would be quite objectionable on account of their weight. It is also pos- sible that with us degrees in the shade they might be too hot. 2 Cotton is a good honey plant in the southern States, and likely also with you. Yet sometimes it happens that a plant yields honey in one section and not in another. If any readers can give more definite an- swers to either of these questions they can have the floor. Old Combs in Decoy Hives In the decoy hives will strips of founda- tion in the frames do as well as frames of comb? Will the bees take to the foundation as readily? Rhode Island. Answer.—No; old combs are away ahead of foundation; indeed. I suspect an entirely empty hive is nearly as good as foundation. Combined Section an
