Chon, in Breslau, who makes mention of it in the second number of his contributions to Biology of the Plants, 1872, and can easily be followed. Here now I could not find the least trace of dimness, although I left these alembics with their contents stand quite a time. Examin- ing the liquid with a strong magnifying glass, I found, it is true, a few bacillariai, but only dead ones. Yet another num- ber of these alembics, treated in the same manner, with an alloy of the ex- tracted mass, furnished similar results. After this I assort the combs; those containing many cells with pollen, I cut out, and such as have only a few, are freed of them by digging them out; this pollen, removed from its structure and containing bacillarise and micrococ- cus, is, while crumbling it tine, mixed with a little alcohol and salicylic acid (1 part salicylic acid. 10 parts alcohol), and being thinned with honey-water, added again to the food and used. Now the combs once more are immersed and ex- tracted, and put back into the hive. When all the combs have been treated in this way, then I take the box, con- taining the bees, and place it with them into a second, somewhat larger zinc-tin box, which contains a solution of 1 part salicylic acid to 100 parts of water, its temperature is raised to 15-18cReaumur, leaving it therein about 10 seconds. After that time the inner bee-box is pulled out again and exposed to the sun- light and air: about 10 to 20 minutes later it is again lowered into the solu- tion for about 8 seconds, after which it is placed as before on a sunny spot.
