American Hee -Journal Mr. Taylor—I don't see much ili(Ter- ence between the two cases, except that the bees can communicate with one an- other in niy plan, but the 2 can work together just the same. They _ form one chister, the same as Dr. Miller's. Mr. Kannenberg—Would a wire par- tition be better than the wooden? I believe the heat would go through the screen better than it would with the wood. Dr. Miller—Wire might be a little cooler. Dr. Bohrer—I had some queens that I wanted to save over this fall. I had a good, strong colony and put in a good, strong partition. I gave a colony that was queenless a queen. You must see that the bees are equally divided. I introduced the queen after the ordinary method. I don't see why they won't winter well. I think the wooden parti- tion is better, unless you want the queen to be acquainted with the bees on both sides. Mr. Kimmey—Three years ago I win- tered 6 colonies that way in 3 lo-frame hives, with partitions of as thin wood as I could use. There was no connection whatever between the two parts. Dr. Miller—In the spring I put them on the summer stands, and left them there until crowded and then eiiiptied them into ordinary 8-frame hives side by side, and no trouble. Granulated Honey. Mr. Barkemeier wants to know what to do with people that ask foolish ques- tions about granulated honey. Dr. Bohrer—Tell them that he is not allowed to sell honey that is not pure unless so labeled. That is the plainest way to deal with that kind of people. Mr. Whitney—I would say, if I were selling honey, and if any one has some that would granulate, it is pretty evident that it is pure. Dr. Eaton—I suppose I have had about as much experience with that line of complaint as bee-keepers themselves. Every little while some one will come in with a sample with the complaint that the honey he has purchased has "sug- ared," and that it has been adulterated. I hav
