Since Huber opened out the combs of the hive "like the leaves of a book," to the inspection of the bee- keeper ; and since Langstroth placed these combs into frames so that they may be handled, and the vs^hole hive may be spread out tor inspection from end to end and top to bottom, at any moment the operator may desire;— since then progress and improvement have followed each other and made rapid strides toward that perfection to whicli we are ever pressing on, but never attain. These facilities for in- spection place before beginners a temptation to make a " toy" of the hive, and upon every occasion to "play "with and open it. We want to impress them with the idea not to disturb the bees except when it is es- sential to do so.

This "chilled brood " is sometimes the forerunner of " foul brood " so much to be dreaded by every bee-keeper. We, therefore, strongly advise caution in this particu- lar to all novices. An exchange very wisely gives this advice : " Whether chilled brood will eventually bring about the fell dis- ease, " foul brood," depends on va- rious circumstances ; but whether or not this be the case ultimately, a whole neighborhood is endangered by a reck- less owner of hives. We would, there- fore, attempt to impress on all young bee-keepers the great care they should make it incumbent on themselves to take as to the manner and time of overhauling their hives, and this ad- Bee-Eeeping in Canada.
