More About Our Crop of Honey Editor Dadant is interested to know something more about our crop of honey, and has sent a list of questions as follows : 1.

Perhaps more often were the two outside frames fairly well filled. Of course, some pol- len was present, but there was very little honey in the brood-chambers. Many of the central combs were filled with brood, every cell being filled up to the top-bar. Some say that with the frames as deep as the Langstroth, there is always a space of one or two inches under the top-bars filled with pollen and honey, and they make* this an ar- gument for shallower frames. Our bees don't work that way. Dur- ing the height of brood-rearing, as al- ready stated, they have little or no space be
