"Oelt" (ShenfieLd).âGetting thick honey out of combs.âIf it is not granulated, keep it for an hour or two in a Wiaxm place, about 90 or 100 deg. Fair., then extract in the usual way. If granulated, the only method is to break the comb up and heat in a water bath until the honey and wax are melted, strain while still hot in order to get the cocoons, away from the honey. The wax will rise to the surface, and may be taken off when cold. H. (Hinckley.)âCreosote for hives.âThi& is not suitable for hives. The bees have a decided objection to the smell. In any case, do not use it inside the hives. G. P. (Renfrew).âPosition of hives.âWe prefer to face hives south-east, and leave them, in that position all Avinter. A piece of board reared m front of the entrance will prevent the reflection of sunlight on the snow from entering the hive and enticing the bees out. The spots of excreta are always found on the hives after a mild day in winter, when the bees have been able to take a cleansing flight. It is not always a sign of dysentery. Replace the hives in summer posi- tion a* soon as the weather shows signs of becom- ing warmer, say, about the end of this month. Miss G. L. Weaver (Bath).âSpraying fruit trees -This will not harm the bees, unless done when the trees are in bloom. If sprayed then it will also damage the bloom and spoil the fruit crop. R.
