(Loughton).—Time to cease autumn feed- ing.—This is one of those things for which a definite date cannot be fixed. As a rule, it should be not later tdian the end of September. It may vary in different parts of the country, and aeoord- ing to the weather, but we should say under the most favourable conditions it should not be pro- longed beyond the first week in October. D. M. S. CEante).—Moving bees in January.—(i.) It is not advisable to move bees in the winter, as the jarring disturbs them. If they must be moved, then pack as directed in "The British Bee-keepers' Guide Book," page 119. It will bo better to move them during the next six weeks if possible, or leave them until March or April, (ii.) Adminsons, Lt-d., Port Hill House, Benson, Oxon. (iii.) We cannot eay; it would depend on the weatJier. If it was warm they might do it in a fortnight or three weeks. Suspected Disease. W. F. Jones (Anglesea), J. Sheard (Wakefield), C. Arden (Sheffield), E. iM. Keen (Birmingham). —In OUT opinion the bees sent were affected with " ; disease. G. S. T. (Denbigh).—(a) There are symptoms of " ; disease. Better send some, alive, to Dr. J. Rennie, Mareschall College, Aberdeen. (b) The brown mass in cells was pollen, (c) If there is any quantity of unsealed honey it is safer to extract it. A little, say, up to between 1 and 2 lbs. will do no harm, ae the bees will probably use it before it ferments. T
