The stock we held has carried us so far at the usual price, but on replenishing we find that the cost of the ingredients used in its manufacture has increased owing to the war, several being double their usual price. The prices now therefore are Is. 8d., 2s. lOd., and 5s. 8d. per EXTRACTS .\ND COMMENTS. D. M. MacJonald, Banff. Fertile Workers.—" Do not try to save fertile worker colonies; unite them with other colonies that need the bees. This may be done quickly and safely by setting them on the top of other colonies with a sheet of newspaper between the two. The paper will be removed by the bees and perfect harmony ; The hint is a good one. Worrying over such colonies, endeavouring to preserve them as independent units, rarely pays. One fertile worker present almost certainly implies that there are many in that brood- nest, and that means that the stock is ultimately, inevitably bound to' destruc- tion. The Beview.—This bee paper has had rather a chequered existence since the passing away of " AY. Z. ; He steered it skilfully over shoals, shallows, and troubled waters.
