Bztg. nilk=Feeding in Spring is the best to stimulate brood- rearing, where pollen is lacking, says Dr. Dzierzon in Leipz. Bztg. Fresh milk is boiled and made very sweet, especially at the beginning, and fed in old combs in the open air. Winter Bee-Flights seem not desired in Germany. Lebrecht Wolf says in Deutsche Illustrierte Bztg. that formerly it was thought to be a good thing if the weather allowed a flight in January ; but now it is generally con- sidered a disadvantage to have a flight in December, Janu- ary, or the first half of February, and every effort is made to prevent it.

For lack of air the bee became stupe- fied, and revived on being allowed fresh air. At 100° it was suffocated in 11 minutes ; at 85° in 22 minutes ; and at 60° in 109 minutes.—Pfaelz. Bzcht. No Wax-noth in Colorado is the statement of R. C. Aikin in the Bee-Keepers' Review. He says : " At our conventions many have askt about the moth, and it is a fact that I have never found moths here, nor any apiarist that even knows the moth, unless having made its acquaint- ance elsewhere. Combs can stand anywhere here for years, and never a ; Frank Rauchfuss says : " The claim of Colorado honey being infested with moths is amusing, as there are no wax- moths in existence in this ; Introducing Queens—R. Beuhne says in the Australian Bee-Bulletin : " For introducing queens from my own nuclei I simply take _ the queen from the nucleus with the comb and bee's she is on, and exchange for a comb with brood, bees and queen (if there is one), from the hive she
