. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. 1898. THE AMEHICAN BEE JOURNAl., 679 them. Moreover, there may be some honey in the combs given with the second story, and it's a good thing for the bees to have the honey.

When the extra story is given below, it puts no extra labor upon the bees in the way of heating idle room, for heat ascends, and the bees can work down iuto the lower story just as fast as the room is needed. No perforated zinc is used be- tween the two stories, for that would defeat the very thing de- sired—the enlargement of the brood-nest. When it comes time to put on supers, one story is taken away, leaving the best eight frames of brood, no matter in which story they are found. The frames taken away are used wherever they are needed, and if not needed anywhere in particular, they are piled up, three or four stories high, on some colony that is per- haps not strong enough to do good work in supers. I think some leave the two stories throughout the harvest time, but for some reason I could never get as much honey by so doing. When the section-supers are taken off, the second story is placed on top, an excluder being placed between the two stories. If there is a fall flow of dark honey, the bees are in no danger of being crowded for room. When it gets so late in the season that bees will gather no more than to supply their daily needs, the extra story is taken away, so the bees can glue up for winter.
