Oldham's letter, re " Visit to the Violet Farm," (, August 24), he says : " Mr. Kettle is strong in his advocacy of supering with brood frames in place of shallows, and the reasons he gave me have converted me to his point of ; I am sorry he does not give the reasons, as I am sure many bee-keepers would like to know. Perhaps Mr. Kettle will tell us in his next letter. I understand shallow frames are better, as the enlarge- ment of the hive is more gradual, drone cells can be used, the larger cells facilitate ex- traction of the honey, and also take less time and wax to cap over; the shallow super would only be about 25 lb. to carry, as against 40 lb. If the larger frames of comb were wanted for the brood chamber they would, of course, be lost for supering, and others would have to be drawn out. Egerton Alicock. Bee Shows to Come.
