My experience has been that the bees go into the supers just as soon in an 11-frame hive as if it had but S frames, and I get 33 sections of honey in a large hive just as quick as I do 24 sections in an 8-frame hive, and I do not think the bees are as apt to swarm so often.

In reply to a question asked recently about locating an apiary near a railroad, I would say that my bees are in winter quartei's just feet from a railroad side- track, and 30 feet from the main track, where the trains are passing as often as one every half hour. I have opened the front of my bee-house when the trains were pass- ing, paid strict attention to them, and I could not perceive any difference in them. The bees do not seem ,to pay any attention to the jarring and confusion of the trains passing. I have a neighbor that has been in the bee-business several years, and his bees are kept, in winter and summer, less than two rods from the same railroad, and he is successful with his bees. In my opin- ion it does not make any difference, except when the bees are coming home loaded, and a train is passing, it might make it a little inconvenient for them, as they might have to rise higher than they would had the train not been there. I shall locate my bees within less than four rods of the track. Homer, Minn. E. B. Huffman. Colo. Foul Brood Inspector's Report.
