THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 37 some odd objects about in the apiary another season that they may the better mark the location, I use the regular S-frame hive, and like the Hoffman frame the best. I have been keeping bees for eight years. The first year I pro- cured some thick-top, loose-hanging frames, and have used them right along with the HoSman, but I do not like them. I now use staples to space the thick-top frames that I have. I sell all my honey in the home market, and have no trouble in building up a good demand for it. I like the

Report of the Proceeding's of the Colorado State Bee-Keepers' Convention, Held in Den- ver, Nov. 23, 24, and 25, 1903. BY H. C. MOREHOUSE, SEC. (Continued from page 25 1 BEST USE OF DXFINISHKD SECTIONS. Question.—Which is the more profitable, to sell un- finished sections or extract the honey and use them for bait- combs the following season ? Mr. -Vikin—I have pretty nearly decided to do away with bait-combs, but conditions determine when they can be used profitably. If one uses shallow frames bait-combs are not much good. If you add to the depth and use of a 10-frame width you need bait-combs. Then it is profitable to extract your unfinished sections and use them as bait- combs. But if you do not need bait-combs, it is better to sell them. Mr. Morehouse—I have had some experience that may throw light upon this question. This season I sold all my unfinished sections that weighed one-half pound or more at the groceries in Boulder, receiving for them 7 cents per pound by weight. I thought at the time that it paid better than extracting them, but considering the higher price of sections and foundation, together with their value as bait- combs, I am now satisfied that I lost money.
