[9471] At the time of writing I have any amount of letters from my bee-keep- ing friends, and I have no doubt many of them are wondering why they have not received an answer. I am sorry to in- form them that on April 19 last during the fighting in Palestine I was severely wounded, being shot through the right lung and right leg. I was moved to a hospital in Cairo, where I have been for the past two months in a helpless con- dition and suffering much pain. My right arm was paralysed, due to the effects of the wounds, so writing was out of the question. I am pleased to say that I am now very much better and making good progress, and in a few days I hope to answer all letters from my friends per- sonally. I have been much interested in the recent letters appearing in the Jour- nal on the " British Bar Frame ; I have been of opinion for some time that the present hive in use in this coun- try is far too fanciful, and if the bee- keeper goes in for Italians he will be sadly disappointed, as it is too small in every way, and will only result in in- cessant swarming. I have found the. hive answer well, but I always have to use two brood chambers for the cjueen to breed in. However, this hive- is expensive and practically out of reach of the ordinary bee-keeper. Personally, I much prefer the commercial frame to our standard frame, but, unfortunately- one cannot use them owing to the stan- dard frame being general throughout the country. It
