I just knoiv it would work. Nearly every one has a bicycle, and can very quickly put the plan to a test. But if he has not a wheel he can buy one of these pumps at a repair-shop for about 25 cents. I am inclined to think something made specially for the pur- pose will be better still. I would con- struct a bicycle-pump with a longer barrel, without hose, and on the end have a stationary curved nozzle. If the pumps are about 18 inches long one could reach down to the pan of syrup, shove the nozzle into the entrance of the hive, and squirt the food between all the combs and all thru the hive. If this were done at night there would be no danger from robbers, and I will guarantee there is no method forstimu- lative feeding that would equal this for rapidity of work. I will have a pump made on purpose, and have the thing tested at once. ICniTOK.—Gleanings in Bee-Culture. Carniolan Bees ; Their Appearance. Doolittle says (jiage 617) that Carnio- lans do not differ in looks from black bees. I said that once, and a man mailed me a cage of bees he called Carniolans that were distinctly differ- ent from blacks no yellow on them, but narrow white bands.—[The real pure Carniolans that I have seen look slightly different from the typical black bee.
