FRAMES, TO MAXIPILATE. i-2i FRUIT-BLOSSOMS. as the season draws to a close, in order to make the bees finish their work. Fig. 13 shows a slightly difl. rent i ose from that indicated in Fig. S. While the po- sition of the operator is somewhat cramped, it is true, yet it is niucli easier than tearing down the hive, super by super, and replac- ing the same. In Fig. 14, page 222, we have a case where the season is closing abiuitly. The bees have only partially tegun work in the top super. To leave it on would mean that all the supers would have hont^y in, and none of them quite completed. Accordingly we shake the bees out of the top super, place a. .:?.. .o.—:i _.'.'.?

The hive is now left imtil we can determine a little more about | the season. If there should be some good I rains and warm weather, the season may < take another start. In that case the super ; cover that was placed between the top super and the two below is removed, when work ; wiU be resumed in the third super. If we \ were sm-e that the season was drawing to a ' close, the top super should be removed in the first place. \ HOW TO PUT ON ESCAPE-BOARDS In going through bee-yards we have noted the fact over and over that some bee-keep- ers have an awkward way of putting on es- capes. They will pull the hive apart, super by suiier, place the escape on the brood-nest or on a super partly filled, then one by one put back the supers. If no honey is coming in, this will probably mean that robbers will get started. There is no need of removing any supei-, nor a cover, for that matter. All that is necessary is to apply the principles illus- trat
