The editor of the Neue Bztg., Freudenstein. has for years advocated its cure by sugar feeding; say-s bees need no cleansing flights during win- ter. Claussen claims in Schlesie, Hoist Bztg. that queen-s lay more eggs dur- ing their third season than during any previous one. This seems to disagree with our experience in America. Look- ing over my home yard last spring. In- spector Stevens and myself found that nearly all the best and .strongest col- onies were headed by queens of pre- vious year's raising. Other bee-keep- ers here find the same rule existing. With the Reitsehe comb foundation moulds, Neue Btzg. says loO sheets may be made by an experienced person in an hour.
