. British bee journal & bee-keepers adviser. Bees. September 15,1885.] THE BRITISH BEE JOURNAL 295 WEST OF ENGLAND HONEY DEPOT. We are pleased to be able to state that under this heading a depot has been started at Freshford, Somerset, and will be worked by Mr. W. N. Griffin, late Hon. Sec. to the Devon and Exeter B. K. A. This gentleman is too well known in the bee- keeping world to require any introduction from us. He has been a frequent contributor to the columns of this Journal, and, by personal service and by his interesting lectures, has done much to advance the cause of apiculture in the West of England. His experience in the various kinds and qualities of honey, as evinced by his lecture on ' Honey' de- livered at a recent conversazione of the British B. K. A., will be of valuable service to him in his present enterprise. We feel sure he will do all in his power to assist bee-keepers and advance the in- dustry, and we wish him every success in working the depot. NOVELTIES IN BEE-KEEPING. Abbott's New Method of Fixing Foundation. —This is a quick and certain method of fixing foundation. It consists in the top bar, instead of being split right through, having a wedge-shaped groove cut on the under side of it, rather more than half-way through. The foundation is inserted in this groove, and a long piece of wood of wedge section tightly forced in beside it. If considered necessary, it may be further secured by tacks. This method would prevent the harbouring of wax- moth, which so often find a lodgment in the groove. Patent Honey Tins.—Any one who has noted the sad condition of sections on their arrival at the place to which they are consigned, how- ever carefully they may have been packed by the sender, will be pleased to hail the intro- duction of any new method for the safe convey- ance of honey. The Self-opening Tin Box Company supply their patent tins as receptacles of a great variety of articles, and these will be found well adapted for the package
